Experts in construction management
From the smallest fit-out to the most challenging out-of-the-ground new construction project, we deliver innovative, sustainable projects of which everyone can be proud today and tomorrow. How? Our expertises in preconstruction, technology, and safety allow us to eliminate surprises while delivering excellent results.
Making Technology Work
Our Engineering & Technical Services (ETS) Division elevates the construction experience for our project teams and clients. We drive project success by applying our extensive engineering experience, proven processes, and cutting-edge in-house technology to expedite the construction process and to carefully control the outcome.
The construction process presents challenges that, if left unchecked, can result in costly delays. Our team of engineers and architects eliminates surprises and develops solutions that provide time and cost savings. We do this by leveraging our knowledge of construction and engineering, and by utilizing our virtual design and technology capabilities.
Our comprehensive range of virtual design and construction services includes:
- Laser-scanning: We use laser scanning to provide rich, three-dimensional point clouds of existing conditions that can be directly integrated into the BIM modeling process.
- Scan-to-BIM: We use data from 3D laser scans to create comprehensive BIM models to provide optimal project visualization, while facilitating a seamless coordination and installation process.
- 4D Scheduling: We enhance our preconstruction efforts by providing a detailed, tangible understanding of the construction sequencing on a platform that can be easily communicated to our partners.
- Ground penetrating radar (GPR): We use GPR to pinpoint underground utilities and to locate rebar, conduit, etc. encased in floor slabs prior to core-drilling. This technology saves time, improves safety, ensures there are no unexpected conflicts, and avoids unnecessary utility relocations.
- Drone photography: We pilot drones to provide aerial photography to create detailed site models using photo mapping. By using progressive file-sharing applications, we can successfully preserve transparency and enhance collaboration on our projects.
- 3D Coordination Management:We use a technology-driven coordination process to provide data that enhances processes, ensures quality control, improves the experience for our trade partners and guarantees a successful turnover to our clients. These tools foster better collaboration among all project team members to create success from the initial design through to the final-built product.
