Reality Capture

If your project is a renovation, our specialist will coordinate the proper reality capture with laser scan technology and the subsequent creation of the base BIM models so the design team can work from an accurate basis and avoid schedule loops down the road.

Design Coordination

When the design team works together under one BIM and Technology platform, we manage the design coordination reports and meetings to detect issues earlier, solve them faster, and track them more thoroughly.

QA/QC Reviews

Any construction project has a vast amount of documentation from several sources that go through severe changes along the way. Our QA/QC systematic approach can help your project go through pre-designed checks at key milestones to catch those inconsistencies sooner and fix them better.
