SCOPE OF WORK
Reality Capture Strategy reduces the cost to build and Archstone Builders LLC relies on it.
Archstone’s team of licensed engineers, architects and technical professionals move with purpose to identify and expedite critical path items who’s construction cycle time could be shortened. Archstone expertly deploy and leverage technology to early achieve every available schedule dividend. At the West 42nd Street tower, an aggressive schedule was set to accelerate the renovation of the entire building. Archstone determined at the onset of the project that a 3D Existing Conditions Model would be the foundation component of the planned pre-construction and construction cycle trade coordination process.
Archstone Builders LLC performed a 3D Point Cloud Laser Scan of this 600,000+ square foot, 35 Story Midtown Manhattan commercial office tower. More that 1716 laser scans were capture and registered into one unified coordinate system. As the scanning process progressed, a complete Autodesk Revit model LOD 300 was simultaneously produced which included all existing MEP systems, from which 3 existing conditions drawings were created for each floor. Additionally 35 colorized topographic diagrams and produced 35 individual 3D Virtual Matterport Tours were produced.
Using technology better than your competition means strategic advantage in the marketplace. Archstone’s early use of technology at the beginning of every project to rapidly gather as much information as possible is a unique and effective way to reduce construction cost and manage work progress effectively. Ultimately Archstone wins an efficient coordination cycle, avoids rework and is able to maintain the construction schedule without surprises that would threaten on-time turnover of the building.
