Construction Verification and Building Analysis
Get the Most Accurate As-Built Data Possible
Spot issues before they become problems with construction verification.
Laser scanning during construction provides tremendous value for owners, general contractors and trades throughout the building process, as well as to the owner as the building is maintained, managed and renovated.
Scan data provides accurate as-built information that can be compared with design models and drawings for quality assurance, exposing inaccuracies early in the process and lowering contractor risk.
3D point cloud data revealed deviations in design shaft clearances of this elevator shaft. Early detection enabled remediation prior to equipment delivery, keeping the project on time and eliminating rework.
Accurate As-Built Drawings Enable:
Construction Verification – Keep projects on time and on budget by using 3D scans to regularly evaluate job sites and assure that the work put in place is consistent with design intent.
Individual scans are dropped into a BIM or CAD environment, making conflicts easy to identify, with exact measurements to be sent to the design team so revisions can be made and rework minimized.
Building Analysis – Prologue performs detailed analyses of complex environments to identify problems and calculate the extents of areas that need to be adjusted.
We quickly assess important building elements like floor flatness and levelness (FFFL), tank deformations, elevator shaft deviations and more, pulling measurements straight from the point cloud with speed and digital precision unmatched by conventional methods.
Applications include:
Elevator shaft analysis
Tank inspections
Cut/fill analysis
Floor flatness and levelness or FFFL
Mechanical
Electrical
Plumbing
Accurate As-Built Drawings for New Construction
One of the simplest and most valuable uses for 3D laser scanning is to validate that work put in place during construction adheres to design intent. Without the context of building elements yet to be installed, most construction issues cannot be detected by the naked eye.
Laser scanning is the fastest and most accurate way to capture as-built data to evaluate work on weekly or daily basis and assure best-quality construction.
“The scan accuracy allowed for nearly 6,600 feet of steel piping to be prefabricated and fully coordinated with the existing structure. The existing structure varied significantly from the as built drawings, but the scan provided clash-free installation of the prefabricated piping.”

Eliminate costly concrete rework with ReadySet field verification
With next-day turnaround, ReadySet provides assurance that building elements are correctly placed prior to your concrete pour.
Comprehensive, annotated PDF deliverables provide easy review of problem areas so you can pour with confidence.
Accurate As-Built Drawings for Renovations
Most as-built drawings are inaccurate and incomplete. Designing renovations based on these inaccuracies means that errors will be designed in — completely invisible until construction begins, when they become time consuming and expensive to resolve.
But Prologue helps you start with the most accurate data possible. We quickly capture precise existing conditions to serve as a trustworthy starting point for adaptive reuse and renovation projects.
“Prologue provided incredible value by identifying places where plumbing was out of a wall or interfering with other construction. Each issue was fixed before any concrete was poured, eliminating the pain and cost of rework down the road.”

Accurate As-Built Drawings for Building Documentation
The speed and precision of laser scanning enables accurate documentation of complex environments delivered straight to your desktop in a format that is both visually rich and easy to use.
These accurate as-built drawings can be utilized throughout the lifecycle of the building, and future scans easily integrated into digital models.
