This document describes a company that provides laser scanning, thermal imaging, and building information modeling (BIM) services to support design-build projects. Their five step process includes forensic analysis of existing conditions, deviation studies to compare actual conditions to designs, construction layout, quality control, and post-construction documentation. The company aims to save clients money through accurate documentation, coordination, and verification services that reduce errors and change orders.

1. “SETTING THE STANDARD FOR DESIGN BUILD”
HD Laser Scanning, Thermal Imaging, Virtual Surveying , Building Information
Modeling (BIM) Consultants, 3D Construction Coordination and Lay Out

2. “ Our Five Step Process Designed To Save You Money”
1. FORENSIC ANALYSIS
 Pre-design existing conditions study
 Measure and model existing space and structures.
 Create and deliver dimensionally accurate 2D or 3D
 CAD as measurements are taken in the field.
2. DEVIATION STUDY
 Comparison, coordination and verification
 Overlay and graphically compare actual field
conditions in 2D or 3D to existing base
drawings, proposed design or engineering
drawings within CAD.
 Align and test proposed design layout in the
field and make necessary changes prior to
construction.
3. CONSTRUCTION LAYOUT FOR ANY TRADE IN REAL TIME
Layout Stakes & Offsets
Layout of forms XYZ
Forensics – Design vs. Actual
Layout of Bolt Patterns (Steel Buildings)
Forms Deflection Monitoring
Before & after pour
Before & after cure, settlement or loading
Floor openings and Sleeves-
Pre-sets for hangers & Threaded Rods; MEP‟s
Pre-Sets for Curtain walls
Pre-set entire pipe hanging systems for MEP‟s or Future
Mechanical Rooms
Pre-Sets “Imbeds” for Signage
Convert hand drawn shop drawings to CAD
Turret Mounted – Follow Up Crain-
Sway & Tilt Models & Monitoring

3. 4. Quality Control
 Monitoring and Reporting of Current Site
Conditions
 Real Time Confirmation of Construction
 Select any coordinate in a CAD document and
point a visible laser to the exact location
 Onsite Assistance and Assurance
