Reduce Rework, Verify Quality, and Document Progress
General contractors who adopt 3D scanning report fewer RFIs, reduced change orders, and faster project closeout. Our scanning and drone services provide the objective, accurate documentation that construction teams need for quality assurance, progress tracking, and dispute resolution throughout the project lifecycle.
Challenges Builders Face
Common documentation challenges we solve for builders every day.
Costly Rework from Inaccurate Data
When as-built conditions do not match design drawings, subcontractors install work that must be torn out and redone. Each rework event costs time, money, and schedule. 3D scanning catches these conflicts before they become rework.
Progress Documentation Disputes
Owner draw requests, subcontractor payment applications, and schedule claims all depend on progress documentation. Subjective site photos are insufficient for resolving disputes. Drone surveys and 3D scans provide objective, timestamped evidence.
QA/QC Verification
Verifying that installed work matches design specifications — plumb walls, level floors, correct pipe elevations — requires precise measurement. 3D scanning compares as-built to design with millimeter accuracy.
Handover and Closeout
Owners increasingly require comprehensive as-built documentation at project handover. Producing this documentation after the fact is expensive and incomplete. Scanning during construction creates a living record.
