LAKE MARY, Fla., March 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- FARO®
(NASDAQ: FARO), the world's most trusted source for 3D measurement
and imaging solutions for factory metrology and construction
BIM/CIM applications, announces the release of BuildIT Construction
by FARO (https://solutions.faro.com/buildit-construction) a
comprehensive verification software solution that enables confident
management of all quality assurance and quality control processes
throughout the building and facility lifecycle. For the first time,
construction professionals are fully empowered to continuously
monitor a project with real time comparisons against CAD designs
with complete 3D data from the FARO Focus Laser Scanner.
Accelerate the Project and Minimize the Waste
FARO
BuildIT Construction, with FARO 3D laser scanning, is the
first consolidated software and hardware solution designed
from the ground up as an end-to-end, fully integrated Building
Lifecycle Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC)
management tool. As such, in addition to measuring aspects such as
floor flatness, levelness and wall plumbness, BuildIT Construction
enables accurate comparisons to the original design files or
Building Information Model (BIM) documentation, including as-built
positional changes to floors, steel beams, walls, columns, windows
and doors. This ensures that the actual building is being
constructed to the correct specifications and as a result allows
construction professionals to detect errors at every stage of the
project lifecycle and reduce expensive scrap and rework.
Measure with Confidence
BuildIT Construction leverages
our cutting-edge 3D metrology capability derived from 20 years of
proven expertise in delivering best in class measurement solutions
to the manufacturing industry.
While BuildIT Construction is optimized for the FARO Focus Laser
Scanner and the TracerM laser projector, it can also
seamlessly be used with other third-party hardware. In addition to
measuring virtually any feature against digital designs, more
examples of BuildIT Construction's unique workflows include:
Validate to Design - ensure that buildings are being
constructed to design specifications
- Verify accuracy of design models to scan data
- Detect incorrect placement or missing features such as walls,
columns, beams, pipes, etc.
Tolerance Evaluation - keep the project on schedule while
reducing scrap, time and resources
- Perform important measurements accurately and quickly
- Inspect construction for adherence to building standards
(Floor Flatness/Floor Levelness,
Beam Camber, Cut & Fill, Wall Plumbness etc...)
Position and Monitor – Establish liability documentation,
risk mitigation and quality prefabrication
- Verify shifts and movements within structural performance over
time with 4D analysis
- Perform real time monitoring of adjacent structures throughout
the project
"Construction sites are becoming remote factories in need of
build and verify solutions," stated Andreas
Gerster, Vice President of FARO's BIM-CIM Business Unit.
"Historically, the tolerance level for scrap and rework has been
very high because it's considered part of the normal business and
until now no one had stepped forward to address the challenge in a
meaningful way. BuildIT Construction Software from FARO uniquely
enables laser scanner users to perform immediate, real time build
and verify analysis throughout the entire project and facilitates a
new level of cost management and operational efficiency."
