Leveraging visual documentation to avoid rework

When building a state-of-the-art environmental science campus on the seaside bluff of a national marine sanctuary in the United States, 1888-founded general contractor,Swinerton，杠杆Multivista’s visual documentation service在这个复杂的国家资助的建筑中捕捉建筑的里程碑和定期进步。

Swinerton的项目经理Jeff Stephenson最初计划利用Multivista满足该项目的进度摄影要求，但在整个过程中发现了重大的额外好处24-month project。

避免返工和破坏性验证延迟

由于多用途设施包括实验室和学校人员办公室，除了进度照片，Multivista的MEP Exact-Built®在掩盖之前，采购了服务以捕获每个房间中每个房间的关键内壁系统。

“Each lab and office in the building required wall-hung cabinets, so proper backing was crucial for the stability of the casework install,”Stephenson explains.“During the casework install, the owner’s representative was away on vacation and, upon their return, they wanted to make sure that a number of important rooms had the backing installed per plans.”

由于每个实验室的重要性质,噢ner needed visual confirmation that the backing was installed. Stephenson turned to the project’s progress photos to为所有者提供所需的保证。

“我没有放慢施工过程并拆除新鲜绘制的干墙，而是使用Multivista的进度照片来显示有关房间的时间流逝 - 从墙壁框架安装到最终油漆，Stephenson continues.“The photos clearly showed the backing installed at the proper locations.”

“我估计15,000美元[13,300欧元]返工节省by avoiding the destructive verification that would have been needed to confirm the backing installation - not to mention mitigating the schedule impact of that rework.”

Swinerton leveraged the visual records to avoid rework on the same project soon after.

“Our project was on the coastline of the Pacific Ocean, which exposed all building elements to a corrosive, salt-water atmosphere, and our inspector noted some rusting on some exposed steel on the jobsite. We removed the noted rust, and the painter moved forward painting the steel,”says Stephenson.

当检查员返回项目现场并质疑拆除生锈时，斯蒂芬森展示了检查员Multivista的约会型和位置指数图像在拔出生锈后的第二天被捕获的位置指数图像。

“由于照片的结果，我们不需要停止画家的进度。”Stephenson explains.“I estimate rework savings of approximately12,000 USD by avoiding the need to strip and repaint证明锈蚀的钢被清除了。”

Laser focus on the build

涉及远程项目利益相关者，提供定期的项目更新至关重要。Multivista的建筑文档专家团队大约抓获了12,000 progress and milestone images, which allowed Swinerton toshare real-time construction progress没有绑定关键资源。

“Having Multivista also saved our PEs at least a couple hours a week, taking pictures and uploading them throughout the duration of the project. I estimate a savings of about10,000 USD in salary time在项目的生活中，”说明斯蒂芬森。

“So just on these three items, our储蓄总计近40,000美元and that doesn’t take into account the amount oftime we saved being able to navigate the site virtually通过根据您的项目映射来查明确切位置。”
