TRIMBLE 3D SCANNING
Use 3D scanning to quickly and accurately capture the existing conditions of a building. Easily create as–built Revit models for BIM Modeling or Autocad files to begin your design
Real Estate agents can show off their beautiful office via email, to encourage a physical tour of potential renters to see the new space
If a landlord or developer is responsible for getting renovations completed, also known as “base-building” work before a tenant moves in, laser scanning can uncover anything that to be addressed prior to the work.
In this fast-tracked River North project, interactive 3D scans allowed stakeholders to explore the space virtually, from across the country, coordinate with the boots on the ground, and save thousands of dollars in changes and travel expenses.
- Contractors coordinate with mechanical design team in real time, and are able to locate outlets that had been covered by drywall inadvertently, saving thousands.
- NYC-based owners were able to work with our graphic imaging team virtually to approve placement of wall graphics and signage in their new Chicago location. The design team was able to hold meetings with the construction team REMOTELY!
- Cushing’s 3D scans of Sloomoo’s finished space allowed the owner to do a walk through remotely, 48 hours prior to the Grand Opening, saving an extra day of travel!
Cushing’s Trimble 3D scanner uses a technology called LiDar (pronounced Lie-dar), Light Detection and Ranging.
How does it work? Lasers emit light waves into the environment, which then bounce off surrounding surfaces and return to a sensor. This LiDar sensor uses the time it takes for each pulse to return to calculate distance (time of flight).
Each of these pulsed laser measurements, or returns, can be processed into a 3D visualization known as a ‘point cloud’.
These point clouds can be used to create 3D models of all types of structures, including building interiors and exteriors. They can also be used to create accurate floor plans and measure floor levelness.
“David Parkes and other members of the Cushing team took the time to understand our laser scanning needs and provided a service and product above my expectations. I plan to use them for another project I have in their area in the future”
Trust us for high-quality 3D laser scanning services and project management in Chicagoland.
We’ve been printing construction documents for almost 100 years. Drawn by hand. By a draftsman. With a pencil. Now, we have robots that do this for us. No, not really… but we do have expert technicians trained in laser scanning who can capture the state of your building’s existing conditions and create a multitude of documents that make collaboration and coordination of your building project so much easier and more accurate.
Why Should You Consider 3D Laser Scanning Services?
Scanning captures data that unveils inaccuracies for troubleshooting. This saves time, money, and costly change–orders. You can collect data on building projects and structures, no matter the shape or size, to plan more efficiently. This replaces, or at the very least complements, the exercise of costly and inaccurate field verification by your skilled design/construction professionals.
Are architects able to make use of 3D scans?
Absolutely. Laser scanning can be used for site documentation or to create design models. Scanning captures accurate views of structural elements such as piping, HVAC, and plumbing. It minimizes the time your team needs to model existing conditions and allows them to focus on design.
