During renovations or additions to existing buildings, drawings may be unavailable or inaccurate. EMJ provides clients with vital information by using laser scanning instead of traditional surveying or hand measurement methods to create accurate, updated existing conditions drawings. Laser Scanning Existing Building Conditions
ACTION
RESULT
COORDINATE • Schedule time to scan facility • Plan scanning location(s) CAPTURE • Facilitate clear lines of sight • Calibrate the laser scanning equipment to achieve the client’s goals • Scan the site PROCESS • Import into Revit or CAD software to produce drawings and 3D models
EMJ gives project stakeholders an accurate, complete set of drawings and/or 3D models that reflect current site and building conditions in the most timely and cost-effective way possible.
BENEFITS Drawings are completely accurate with no historical errors or omissions that can hinder the design process. Laser scanning is much faster and efficient than traditional surveying practices and yields better results. Accuracy far surpasses levels attained through traditional surveying. Laser scanning gives the ability to view areas that may otherwise be difficult to reach by traditional surveying methods.
Value
Accurate drawings from 3D scanning can reduce total project costs by as much as 7% and the schedule by as much as 10% on construction projects.
