Implementing Technology on a Historic to Modern Renovation
The challenge for historic building renovations is the reliability, efficiency, and accuracy of existing documentation and existing conditions. Laserscan technology is an efficient, accurate, and low-cost process that benefits both the design process and construction coordination process.
Originally built in 1905, this historically significant building is undergoing a complex, design-build renovation into a modern education facility. The presentation is delivered by the Design-Build team as a case study of strategy, process, best practices, and lesson learned of implementing the laserscan to improve the quality of the construction of documents, and enhance 3D building coordination during construction.
