Every project has specific roles for planners, architects, engineers, and contractors. You must also account for the client’s needs and expectations. All this input can either clash or co-exist. It's in the project’s best interest to have a collaborative environment to get the job done. One of the best ways to ensure the spirit of the project stays cooperative is BIM technology.

BIM stands for Building Information Modeling. It is a next-gen 3D model that has made the paper blueprint all but redundant and is becoming the industry standard. Instead of a series of static documents, BIM creates a record of a particular construction job that is agile and changeable for the entire cycle of the project. Instead of sending revised blueprints back and forth between planners and contractors, all the information is in one digital space. The first step for any BIM is construction reality capture.

Reality capture for construction involves using cutting-edge technologies like 3D laser scanners and high definition 360-degree cameras to scan a prospective construction site. The scanners and cameras collect data on existing conditions of the site that are used as the basis for that project’s BIM. By documenting actual field conditions quickly and accurately, reality capture services show the construction site for what it really is.

The main goal of this kind of survey is to reveal inconsistencies between what is on site versus what was believed to be on site or represented in blueprints. This crucial step can be the difference between smooth sailing and rough seas. One of the chief operations of BIM is to optimize work schedules, reduce change orders, and cut down on scheduling conflicts between subcontractors and other entities on a job site. Reality capture for BIM is the first part of this puzzle.

Here are the four ways in which reality capture services can make a building project run harmoniously:

• Planning- Models that use reality capture technology can inform planning decisions for an entire project by providing the most accurate picture possible. Accurate plans are the first step to reducing on-site headaches.
• Design- Reality capture in BIM helps with communication between design and planning. BIM models can help a designer understand what is possible on-site. The idea is to use the BIM to try to eliminate back and forth between these two steps, saving the project time.
• Construction- BIM models help the construction process streamline trade coordination. Making sure that the right contractors and workers are on-site at the right time can help to ensure clash-free construction. An on-time and on-budget construction project is what every site manager and foreperson strives for.
• Operations- Not only does BIM help with planning and building a structure, it can also help with building operations long after construction is over. Building managers can use the models to help run the property and even add to the BIM as things change in the building over time.
