Business Case: Design and Construction Planning for Industrial

Problem:

A Industrial tenant leased an empty warehouse for their operations and needed digital models developed quickly to support their design and construction plans.  They operate warehouses all over the world and were looking for a solution to produce standardized data anywhere in the world.   

Summary:

IndoorVu was able to rapidly collect data in the warehouse with their camera.  Collection is fast (done in a matter of hours) with very little impact to the site.  From the Intelligent Imagery, IndoorVu created accurate geo-referenced 3D models, with annotated key points of interest (e.g. bathrooms, MEP assets, etc.) and delivered 360 degree imagery of all the spaces.  The data was provided as a Revit model and a geodatabase inside of IndoorVu’s web Portal.

Result:

The building owner went from having little to no data about the building to having a full 3D model, visual 360 imagery and the ability to extract further detail throughout their design and construction process (column heights and tilt, concrete pad details, asset 3D locations, etc.). This allowed them to not only produce value for the design and construction teams, but also provided critical information to their Asset Management, Automation and Innovation teams without having to revisit the site. They also had confidence that the IndoorVu camera system could be quickly deployed anywhere in the world and capable of producing the standardized data for all their warehouse design/construction needs.  

Business Case: Renovation and Design in Hospitality / Residential / Retail

Problem:

A real estate developer purchased an old motel building with a plan to renovate it into a mixed use property with retail and apartments.  The 130,000 sqft building had very little documentation available and was on the east coast, not close in proximity to the Family Office or their Architects. They needed digital building data to redesign the building, plus in a Covid-19 environment, they needed a way to share information with each other and eventual contractors/vendors without requiring travel to the site.    

Summary:

IndoorVu deployed a team to the property for 1.5 days to collect data.  From the Intelligent Imagery, IndoorVu was able to iteratively produce digital building data to support the Architects work.  The ultimate deliverable was a comprehensive, 300 level BIM model for all visual assets of the building, including structural and MEP elements above the ACT ceilings and on the 3 roof levels.  The models were broken down into 2D maps, combined with 360 imagery and delivered via IndoorVu Portal.

Result:

Access to the data via IndoorVu Portal was provided to engineers, contractors and other stakeholders to access remotely and reduce the travel required and the number of people needing to enter the building.  The Architects were able to develop detailed design, demolition and capital plans without having to travel to the site, saving time and cost.  The owners were also able to use the plans and imagery to support early leasing efforts for the space before the construction was complete.
