The construction workflows
involved in creating a constructible
model demand that every wall,
floor, window, and ceiling, as well
as every electrical, HVAC, and
plumbing placement be accurately
captured. But if you're relying
on existing drawings to do your
project planning and detailing, it's
hard to know if the documents are
an accurate representation of the
actual project conditions.
Inaccurate construction models
can lead to unforeseen errors and
inefficiencies later in the project.
Not only do layout inefficiencies
hurt your bottom line, errors that
aren't caught right away could
affect the overall design and layout
of building systems and will almost
certainly require rework.
At the same time, if you're unable
to integrate both 3D models
and scans with other workflow
applications, such as a robotic
total station (RTS) or BIM software,
your teams lose valuable time
trying to input data into disparate
systems and manipulate it to
meet their needs. This lack of
integration hinders cross-functional
communication and collaboration,
another leading cause of rework.
