A 60-year-old, 680,000 sqft warehouse and office space at the Denver Federal Center needed to undergo an over prospectus for a pending alteration of Fire Life Safety repairs.
Similar to many older buildings, there was a lack of documentation available. Only “frankendrawings” existed in that the teams did not know what the actual conditions were. GSA was looking at its options, such as a laser scan, but realized the cost and time required were prohibitive. Procon asked themselves what they could do to help their customer get what they needed in time and budget.
Procon Consulting chose Reconstruct to scan the entire site, quickly developing BIM-to-Scan drawings for full warehouse and office space visibility. The team was able to easily capture their space with a 360-degree camera and upload it to the Reconstruct software. Reconstruct provided a BIM model and 3D reality map to measure the space within a sub-inch. The team was able to see all in one place - in one view - everything that was there and what may need repairs or alterations.
Procon Consulting delivered a 680,000 sqft measurable reality model in only one week and at a fraction of the cost of laser scanning.
Procon saved roughly five weeks for their customer by choosing Reconstruct over laser scanning.
