Unable to tell the severity of construction mistakes, the Client required an accurate survey and a detailed comparison of as-built and as-designed facilities. A multi-axis metal frame structure made the most of the shopping center thus entailing 3D laser scanning as the best-fit solution for the survey. By building a highly accurate and detailed (nodes, fixtures) 3D BIM model, we managed to locate the deviations and issue a set of recommendations to fix the discrepancies. The building owner commissioned the center with minimum delays and handed the BIM model over to be used during the exploitation phase.
