Precise As-Built Conditions of Church and School

GPRS captures 2-4 millimeter accurate measurements of the complex geometry of every high ceiling & wall, delicate window, sacred item, office, classroom, and more without contact from the ground.
A Denver Catholic church and school constructed in the 1950’s requested 3D laser scanning of their 56,000 sq ft three-building campus to plan for renovations. Our client was an architecture, planning and interior design firm specializing in commercial, institutional and academic design.
A Denver Catholic church and school constructed in the 1950’s requested 3D laser scanning of their 56,000 sq ft three-building campus to plan for renovations.
Location: Denver, Colorado Task: A Denver Catholic church and school constructed in the 1950’s requested 3D laser scanning of their 56,000 sq ft three-building campus to plan for renovations. Our client was an architecture, planning and interior design firm specializing in commercial, institutional and academic design. Problem: Construction documents existed from the original build, but the client was unsure if they were up to date. Each building required a different scanning scope. The church and parish hall required complete exterior and interior documentation, while the school required only exterior documentation. The church required new design drawings and cost estimates from the firm before proceeding with renovations. Solution: In one day on-site, a GPRS/TruePoint Project Manager completed 359 scans with the Leica P50 ScanStation and the RTC360 laser scanner. The client required point cloud files, 2D CAD drawings, a 3D Revit model, and TruViews to understand the existing conditions of the buildings on campus. 2D CAD exterior elevations and floor plans of the church; and exterior elevations of the school were created for this project. An LOD 200 Revit 2021 3D model of the church was delivered with architectural/structural details, including columns, beams, walls, floors, ceilings, doors, windows, stairs, roof, pews, lectern, and alter. An LOD 200 Revit model was delivered of the school exterior. Benefits: Renovations are not new to this campus; they recently added an outdoor learning lab and eucharistic adoration chapel. They understand the value of accurate as-built data. The firm wanted to keep the historic craftsmanship of the church but provide modern updates. A quality point cloud created a reliable as-built BIM model of existing conditions with ¼ inch accuracy tolerance.

New Tenant Requests Laser Scanning To Plan Store Layout

A GPRS Project Manager 3D laser scanned 4,000 s.f. of existing retail space to provide 2D CAD drawings, a 3D virtual tour, a colorized point cloud, and a 3D BIM model to a client who was renovating a 30-year-old location.
Capturing 4,000 s.f. of Retail Space for New Tenant's Redesign
GPRS 3D Laser Scanning Services provided 3D reality capture, 2D CAD drawings, point cloud, a 3D virtual tour, and BIM model to redesign a retail location for a new tenant in Austin, Texas.
An Austin-based maker of cowboy boots and western wear was moving retail locationsThe previous tenant had occupied the location for more than 30 years The new tenant desired 2D floor plans and a 3D BIM model for a virtual walkthrough of the propertyThe previous tenant still occupied the active storefront, so scanning had to be completed after hours to avoid business interruptions Utilizing a Leica P-Series laser scanner, the GPRS Project Manager completed 24 scans of the 4,000 s.f property in one eveningLaser scanning captured measurements and virtual tour data to help the new tenant plan the store layoutGPRS Mapping & Modeling Team provided the tenant with a colorized point cloud, architectural 2D floorplans, a 3D BIM model, and virtual tour of the property 3D laser scanning is the fastest way to capture existing building conditions, documenting every detail into a digital mapMeasurements and point cloud data is accurate within 2-4mm to allow for accurate 2D and 3D as-builts3D virtual walk throughs allow the tenant to view the site remotely to easily plan and implement floor layouts and merchandisingWhile the renovations were initially designed in Rhino, the client planned to export Rhino models into Revit for further refinement and documentation

Scan-to-BIM of 15-Story Structure

The cost avoidance impact of the integrated scan-to-BIM workflow saved the project an estimated 5% of the total contract amount, a savings of approximately $1,500,000.
GPRS provided 3D laser scanning and modeling services for a 15-story structure in the greater Cincinnati, Ohio area. This included 8 floors of commercial space, 2 stories of retail, 5 levels of parking garage, as well as the exterior façade and roof surface. The GPRS Project Manager captured over 1.54 million square-feet of space, and in-house engineers created a custom Revit model based on the point cloud of the existing conditions. Once construction was complete, this project received the 2017 Build Ohio Award for New Construction Over $30 million.
