The Challenge

Gilbane Building Company needed to document construction progress across multiple job sites while reducing the need for costly site visits and improving communication with stakeholders.

The Solution

Implemented Matterport 3D capture for regular progress documentation, creating digital twins that allowed remote stakeholders to virtually walk through construction sites at any time.

"Gilbane found that Matterport captures allowed project teams to conduct virtual walkthroughs instead of coordinating expensive in-person site visits, dramatically accelerating decision-making."

The Challenge

Mortenson/Scull needed to streamline workflows and improve QA for The Monument, a new 250,000 square-foot indoor arena in Rapid City, South Dakota.

The Solution

Deployed Trimble X7 3D Laser Scanner with Trimble FieldLink to visualize conflicts between planned and installed conditions in real time, catching issues before they became costly rework.

"By scanning installed conditions and comparing against the BIM model in real-time, the team caught MEP conflicts before they required expensive rework."

The Challenge

Skanska, one of the world's largest construction companies, needed to improve site documentation efficiency and enhance owner visibility into project progress across major construction sites.

The Solution

Implemented DroneDeploy for regular aerial mapping and progress documentation, enabling real-time site visibility and reducing the need for manual site walks.

"DroneDeploy enables Skanska to provide owners with up-to-date visual documentation of their projects, improving communication and decision-making speed."

The Challenge

Layton Construction needed to streamline site monitoring, create detailed 3D models, and enable data-driven decision making across multiple active construction sites.

The Solution

Implemented DJI Dock 3 automated drone system with Matrice 4D for scheduled flights, enabling consistent site documentation without manual pilot intervention using FlightHub 2 for data processing.

"Automated drone dock systems enable consistent, weather-resistant site documentation without requiring manual pilot coordination, dramatically improving data consistency."

The Challenge

FAM Construction needed to efficiently collect site information, report changes, and ensure design tolerances across a 22-mile roadway expansion project in Washington D.C.

The Solution

Deployed Leica RTC360 3D laser scanner with Cyclone FIELD 360 app for rapid site documentation. Two scanning crews achieve 2-minute setups with real-time geo-referencing.

"With 3D scanning, engineers don't have to imagine anything - it's a highly accurate 3D picture of the construction site, eliminating interpretation errors and ensuring all critical data is captured."
