EXISTING ENVIRONMENTAL DATA CAPTURE

BUILD IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME

EXISTING ENVIRONMENTAL (1).png

Dream Catcher Dynamics uses a portable laser scanner to capture existing conditions such as topography, architecture, structure, mechanical, electrical and plumbing components. These components are measured with the laser scanner and generated in a point cloud model. This point cloud can be used for many different applications including, but not limited to crime scene investigation, real-estate listings, insurance claims, virtual tours, reverse engineering, custom fabrication, residential, commercial & industrial building planning and building. Use of existing data is determined by client.

HOW IT WORKS

REMOTE BIDDING, INVESTIGATION, MEASURING, & PROJECT PLANNING

DATA CAPTURE:

We scan the project site from multiple
stations throughout the entire building
space. The scanner takes 1 million
measurements per minute with a laser
to the surrounding surfaces and highresolution
photos in a 360° sphere in
under 10 minutes per station.

POINT CLOUD OF EXISTING CONDITIONS

DATA PROCESSING:

Each scanned station is "stitched"
together to make a single "pointcloud".
The software allows us to
measure between any two points from
each station's panoramic view.We can
also manipulate the point-cloud to
remove anything that will be
demolished, such as walls, ceilings, or
utilities.

POINT-CLOUD OVERLAYED IN COORDINATED MODEL

SCAN TO BIM:

Once the point-cloud is cleaned up, we
place it in our modeling software so we
can coordinate and model around
existing structures. We can also trace
over the point-cloud model in existing
conditions that will show up on contract
documents that can be communicated
to all project participants.
