Leveraging visual documentation to avoid rework

作者：Rosie Knox

在美国国家海洋保护区的海滨悬崖上建造最先进的环境科学校园时，1888年创建的总承包商，斯威纳顿, leveraged多维斯塔的视觉文档服务to capture construction milestones and regular progress throughout this complex state-funded build.

斯威纳顿’s project manager, Jeff Stephenson, originally planned to leverage Multivista to meet the project’s progress photography requirement but found significant additional benefits throughout the24个月项目.

Avoiding rework and destructive verification delays

As the multi-use facility included both laboratories and offices for school personnel, in addition to progress photos,Multivista’s MEP Exact-Built®service was procured to capture the critical in-wall systems in each room before coverup.

“建筑物中的每个实验室和办公室都需要墙壁橱柜，因此适当的衬里对于案例安装的稳定性至关重要，”斯蒂芬森解释说。“在案例安装期间，所有者的代表在休假中不在，他们返回后，他们想确保许多重要的房间安装了每个计划的支持。”

由于每个实验室的重要性，所有者需要视觉确认安装了衬纸。斯蒂芬森转向项目的进度照片provide the owner the assurances they needed.

“Instead of slowing the construction process down and tearing out freshly-painted drywall, I used Multivista’s progress photos to show the time lapse of the rooms in question - from wall framing install to final paint,”Stephenson continues.“The photos clearly showed the backing installed at the proper locations.”

“I estimate approximately15,000 USD [13,300 euros] in rework savings通过避免要确认备用安装所需的破坏性验证 - 更不用说减轻该返工的时间表的影响了。”

斯威纳顿（Swinerton）利用视觉记录避免在此后不久对同一项目进行返工。

“我们的项目位于太平洋的海岸线上，该海岸线将所有建筑元素暴露于腐蚀性，盐水的氛围中，我们的检查员注意到在工作地点上的一些裸露钢生锈。我们取出了著名的生锈，画家向前迈进了钢铁的绘画。”斯蒂芬森说。

When the inspector returned to the project site and questioned the rust removal, Stephenson showed the inspector Multivista’s date-stamped and location-indexed images captured the day after the rust was removed.

“As a result of the photos, we did not need to stop the painter’s progress,”斯蒂芬森解释说。“我估计返工的节省12,000美元，避免脱衣和重新粉刷the steel to prove the rust was removed.”

激光专注于构建

With remote project stakeholders involved, providing regular project updates was critical. Multivista’s team of construction documentation specialists captured approximately12,000个进度和里程碑图像，这使Swinerton得以分享实时建设进度without tying up critical resources.

“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美元的薪水时间over the life of the project,”explains Stephenson.

“所以就在这三个项目上，我们savings total almost 40,000 USD这没有考虑到我们保存了能够虚拟导航的时间by pinpointing exact locations based on your project mapping.”
