One of the newer options available to prospective clients is a choice of planning, surveying, and consultancy, in addition to our typical design services.
We understand the impact a well scoped and pre-planned project can have on its overall success; both from a commercial and safety critical point of view. Whilst definitely not a requirement for all jobs, we’ve come to find that on many of our larger scale remedial projects, existing structural information available to tendering contractors can be either non-existent, or somewhat lacking in overall accuracy against the final built product.
This then leads to inaccurate tenders in the form of missed items, under/overpriced works, ultimately resulting in commercial and operational conflicts across the board, leaving all parties dissatisfied.
In order to counter this, we decided to bring these services in-house and instead, offer them to our clients, either as an entirely separately paid-for service, or to supplement our own tenders, putting us a step ahead of our competitors in terms of true accuracy.
How do we do it?
We use a range of advanced tools and technologies, including in-house drones to capture your projects from all angles, as well as our Leica RTC360 3D Laser Scanner, to provide pin-point accurate and detailed surveys of every inch of your construction project quickly and efficiently.
We then translate this captured information into a usable asset, known as Scaffold Information Modelling (SIM), (a technology similar to BIM) to create highly detailed, true, 3D models of your scaffold design against the exact reality captured by our scanner. This allows us to identify potential issues and optimise the design for safety and efficiency with far more detail than working from 2D drawings – which may not be ‘as-built,’ nor do they capture any changes in the surrounding environment or building itself over time.
