• Improve communication between survey, design, build and management teams.
• Improve planning efficiency and cost estimates.
• Increase productivity.
• Effectively document as-built conditions.
• Adjust Design processes to effectively accommodate Build results.

Improve Planning Efficiency and Cost Estimates. Access to 3D image data across the Build process can very quickly yield positive bottom line technical and financial results. The Build professional can exploit this information in planning and decision processes. Uncertainty in the actual conditions as compared to the virtual design is significantly reduced. Response delays associated with additional field survey requests are also drastically decreased. All contribute to bottom line efficiencies.

Increase Productivity. The Build team's access to 3D image data will accelerate planning and execution of operations. 3D image data empowers the operations professional to extract his or her own measurements, clearances, etc. The process of requesting specific measurements from a survey team and waiting days or weeks for the answer can be effectively eliminated. Consider the scene below where an operations professional may want to move equipment under an overhead power line.

Manage and Reduce Risk. Complex large scale construction projects often carry significant risk. Excavation, drilling, boring, and related operations must be carried out so as not to damage surrounding structures. 3D image data provides a comprehensive baseline of existing conditions prior and after operations.

Effectively Document As-Built Conditions. The Design-Build system carries out Design operations in parallel with Build operations. Such a system requires constant and timely feedback as to Build progress as subsequent Design phases are implemented. 3D image data allows quick and easy comparison between the designed virtual CAD model and the actual product. Such complete and timely feedback allows the Design team to: 1) quickly confirm existing conditions and Build progress, 2) assure products are within specified tolerances and, if necessary, 3) adjust subsequent design to more effectively accommodate Build results.
