At BMC, we integrate advanced 3D reality capture technologies, including Matterport scanners, and laser point scanners, into our engineering workflows to enhance accuracy and efficiency. These tools support our team in delivering comprehensive assessments and solutions across various projects.
While we no longer offer 3D capture as a standalone service, it remains an integral part of our approach, particularly in:
- Structural Assessments: Providing detailed 360° internal scans of buildings, these visuals form an accurate digital record used by our staff during assessments. This ensures analyses and structural strengthening designs are based on precise dimensional data and on-site building conditions.
- Remote Collaboration: Matterport scans are processed and hosted online, enabling stakeholders to walk through spaces, such as separate floor levels, virtually. This reduces the necessity for repeated physical site visits and significantly improves safety.
- Design Integration: From Matterport-generated BIM files (Matterpaks), we extract detailed point cloud models compatible with Revit software, allowing our technicians to directly incorporate real-world building information into structural designs and analyses, streamlining the overall engineering process.
We continue to offer these supportive scanning services primarily for smaller-scale projects (typically fewer than 100 capture positions per area), ensuring they efficiently complement our core engineering assessment activities. External scanning services can also be provided on specific request.
Our experience includes notable projects like the Chief Post Office building in Christchurch and St John’s Church in Invercargill, demonstrating how effectively integrated reality capture enhances project accuracy and delivery.
By leveraging these technologies, BMC consistently provides our clients with precise, informed, cost-effective engineering solutions.
