The new Building Act, which enters into force in 2025-2026, will revolutionise renovation construction, as building permits needs to be applied using building information models. Our team will agilely create the reliable inventory models required for the BIM-based design of renovation projects. The inventory models we produce, the digital twins of the building, serve not only as a basis for design, but also for maintenance and life cycle assessment.
A reliable inventory model is based on a laser scan of the building, either from the ground or from air with a drone. Based on the produced point cloud, we effectively model the building with the agreed accuracy (YTV 2012). We use both ArchiCAD and Revit software and precision GPS to georeference the model to the local coordinate system. We can also produce lighter dimensional drawings using the same technologies.
We process the inventory model of the renovation site into a design model, which will be required when applying for a building permit. The models we produce include information such as material properties and modifications made. The model can be shared in web-based platform that enables effective collaboration between different design disciplines. At the end of the design and construction phase, we update the design model as a BIM into the building control system.
Our BIM maintenance service ensures the design model is continuously updated throughout the renovation of the property. Annual reviews are performed to guarantee the model reflects the latest changes to the building and meets the requirements of the information model plan. In addition, one can integrate furniture data into the model that can be valuable, for example for tenant or occupancy changes.
We offer photography and visualisation services with the latest and highest quality drones, creating orthophotos and photogrammetric data. We also have heavier drone equipment for laser scanning of buildings, especially used for large or inaccessible sites. Our trained pilots produce accurate footage for all phases of projects, enhancing design efficiency and accuracy.
