Commercial Building Construction

Point cloud scanning lets you build with confidence.

At Prologue, we’re used to working on active construction sites and know how to operate safely and effectively to help keep commercial projects moving forward.

We use 3D point cloud scanning to evaluate work during the construction process, exposing inaccuracies early in the process and lowering contractor risk. We also can quickly analyze building elements like elevator shafts and concrete floor flatness and levelness, calculating areas that need adjustment and determining accurate volumes of materials needed.

In addition, scan data creates accurate building documentation that owners can utilize throughout the lifecycle of a building.

Rework typically account for 12 to 15 percent of construction costs. But 3D scanning identifies conflicts before they happen, reducing rework to 3 percent or less. This translates into substantial savings and helps keep projects on schedule.

Benefits of Prologue Point Cloud Scanning:

Speed – Reduces onsite time by 50% to 70%. Working with digital data (versus manual measurements, notes and hand drawings) means that time spent on modeling is a fraction of the manual approach.

Accuracy – Accurate permanent records for both immediate and future use. It is real, trustworthy data delivered straight to your desktop, so you can build with confidence.

Safety – Measure objects from a distance, completely touch-free, in complex and hazardous environments. A safer and more versatile means of measurement than ever before.

Versatility – Virtually unlimited in size and environment, scans can be conducted in broad daylight, the dark of night, indoors, outdoors and across large distances.

Experience – We can provide anything from basic construction drawings to complex, ornate building information models. With over 80 years of industry experience, precision is our passion.

Deliverables – We deliver models in whatever format best suits your need including Autodesk® Revit®, CAD drawings, orthophotos, point clouds and more.

“The scan accuracy allowed for nearly 6,600 feet of steel piping to be prefabricated and fully coordinated with the existing structure. The existing structure varied significantly from the as built drawings, but the scan provided clash-free installation of the prefabricated piping.”

“Receiving a Revit model in our native drafting platform made it easy to see exact locations and measurements, and the RealView in ReCap 360 was great for coordinating and discussing issues.”
