Construction reality capture provides more than just visuals of the jobsite, it also captures critical data representing your project’s lifeline. However, not taking the proper steps to document your site’s progression regularly can prevent you from realising the full benefits reality capture can provide.
Construction teams have many competing tasks to complete on site, including documenting as-built conditions. Hiring full-service professionals to perform is ideal, but for those who want more frequent or DIY/Self-Capure capture solutions the new Hexagon GoCapture App allows your team to streamline workflows and document project conditions more efficiently and conveniently as they walk the site.
Saving time and improving end results are only part of the story with Mulivista’s Self-Capture. Here are 8 more benefits that come with regularly documenting your jobsite.
1. FULL TRANSPARENCY — Build faster and effectively with visual jobsite data that shows a clear picture of what progress has been made, where and when.
2. COMPLETE ACCESSIBILITY — No matter where you or your team members and stakeholders are located, accessing vital project information is simplified. All your jobsite reality capture information can be accessed from a single source of truth on Multivista’s cloud-based platform. Best of all, any professionally captured data you contracted to Multivista is available and visible from the same Multivista Documentation System (MDS) platform.
3. LIMIT ISSUES — Digital records of where systems (MEP, HVAC, Fire Suppression, etc.) were built in the walls and ceilings before covering up helps minimize rework and the need for destructive behind-wall investigations if issues occur down the line.
4. BETTER TIME MANAGEMENT — Documenting project progress routinely (via weekly Self Capture site walks) and sharing those results regularly through a single source of truth with stakeholders can save time and minimize the need for other team members to visit the jobsite frequently (resulting in a lower carbon footprint as well).
5. EFFECTIVE ACCURATE PLANNING UPDATES — Frequent documentation of site conditions helps teams to keep an accurate record of progress. Completing weekly updates by verifying work completed can help your team stay on track and minimize delays by adapting the schedule based on the latest reality capture data.
6. IMPROVED BUDGETING — For payment applications, verifying work can be difficult as the traditional process relies on word of mouth and manual/visual confirmations. However, teams that complete regular documentation can leverage the most up-to-date data to verify work completed with greater accuracy and minimize overspends to stay on or under budget.
7. TRUE ACCOUNTABILITY — Review and validate work completed by sub trades from anywhere via the Multivista MDS platform. Remove the guesswork and review current project progress with your latest reality capture data.
8. ENHANCE REPORTING — Provide even more information for your daily, weekly and other meeting reports by including the most current reality capture data so all stakeholders can see the current project progress in near real time.
