Project Impact
Complete scanning of rooms and external boundaries
Precise as-built data for renovation planning
Accurate drawings minimizing manual measurements and design errors
Business Requirement
The client’s heritage building had suffered significant damage, including sudden wall collapses, and required renovation into a museum. Accurate as-built documentation was essential to support the renovation planning.
Proposed Solution
3D laser scanning was carried out across all rooms and outer boundaries of the building using FARO Focus technology, with the captured data processed in FARO SCENE to prepare accurate as-built drawings for the renovation.
Challenges Faced
Poor lighting conditions inside the building made scanning difficult, and the presence of bats in several rooms added further complexity to the survey process.
Outcome
Delivery of accurate as-built drawings, providing the client with a reliable documentation base to plan and execute the building’s renovation into a museum.
