Pre-Construction and Dilapidation Scanning

Our Pre-Construction and Dilapidation Scanning service offers detailed insights into your site before construction begins, forming a crucial part of dilapidation reports. This service allows for better project planning and execution while reducing the risk of costly errors. Notably, we ensure privacy by automatically blurring faces that appear in any live site scanning.

Key ​Benefits:

  • Enhanced Communication and Reporting: Facilitates clear communication with stakeholders, contractors, and consultants, providing accurate information for decision-making.

  • Reduced Tender and EOI Pricing Overestimation: Offers detailed site information, minimising the need for multiple site visits and helping to accurately estimate costs in tenders and EOIs.

  • Efficient Stakeholder Coordination: Reduces the need for multiple group visits to live sites, easing the coordination of necessary inspections.

  • Strategic Site Entry and Public Interface Assessment: Evaluates site entry points, clearances, and public interfaces, vital for planning and safety.

  • Integral for Dilapidation Reports: Provides comprehensive data on existing buildings and infrastructure, forming an essential component of dilapidation reports.

  • What is an "Agreed Hold Point Scan" and how does it benefit my construction project?
    An Agreed Hold Point Scan is a strategic service offered by VRD Spatial, where we perform a detailed 3D laser scan of your construction site at specific, agreed-upon critical stages of your project. These stages can include key phases such as foundation completion, structural framing, pre-lining, or prior to finishing work for progress claims. By capturing the exact state of your site at these crucial points, we provide an accurate and detailed 3D digital representation. This allows for precise verification, improved progress monitoring, effective communication among stakeholders, early identification and resolution of potential issues, and assurance of compliance with project specifications. Using Agreed Hold Point Scans can significantly save time, reduce costs, enhance quality control, and increase overall project efficiency, making it an indispensable tool for architects, builders, and project managers.
  • How does VRD Spatial's Hold Point scan services assist in the quick turnaround of progress claims and defects liability stage claims?
    VRD Spatial’s 3D laser scanning and Matterport services provide highly precise, timestamped digital records of actual site conditions captured at critical project milestones. These scans create detailed and easily accessible visual documentation, allowing project managers, clients, architects and quantity surveyors to quickly and accurately validate completed work against agreed-upon project plans and milestones. By providing comprehensive visual proof of work completed, the approval and processing of progress claims become significantly quicker and more transparent. During the defects liability stage, the same accurate scans enable easy identification, clear communication, and swift resolution of defects. This reduces the need for multiple site visits and lengthy negotiations, back and forth correspondence, effectively accelerating the closure of claims and reducing potential disputes.
  • What kind of projects most benefit from implementing VRD Spatial's Hold Point scanning services?
    VRD Spatial’s Hold Point scanning service is particularly beneficial for complex projects, including commercial, residential, infrastructure developments, renovations, and large-scale construction projects. These types of projects often require precise tracking of progress, clear communication among multiple stakeholders, and detailed documentation to manage contractual and regulatory compliance. Implementing Hold Point scans can significantly improve project outcomes by ensuring accurate verification of completed stages, quick approvals, enhanced dispute resolution, and overall improved project efficiency and compliance.
  • How can a hold point scan assist Quality Assurance/Control ?
    A Hold Point scan significantly enhances Quality Assurance and Quality Control by providing an accurate, timestamped record of the project's status at specific critical stages. The high precision of VRD Spatial’s 3D laser scans enables stakeholders to thoroughly inspect and validate workmanship and materials against project specifications and standards remotely. This comprehensive visual data allows early detection and clear communication of discrepancies or defects, enabling immediate corrective actions. Consequently, it reduces rework, enhances compliance with quality standards, improves overall build quality, and ensures consistent adherence to project requirements and industry regulations.
