Securing this contract was no small feat, given the strong competition from several 3D laser scanning companies. Ultimately, we were selected due to our experience, expertise, state-of-the-art equipment, and proven ability to successfully execute projects of this nature, delivering accurate results. The Existing Conditions team collaborated closely with the Department of Capital Asset Management of the State of Massachusetts, as well as their team of architects, engineers, and the on-site facility management from the college. We executed an interior and exterior 3D laser scan of the building, delivering an accurate 3D building information model to our clients. This comprehensive 3D BIM model was then used to facilitate a substantial upgrade to the building, effectively elevating life safety measures and improving the overall building occupant experience.

Related Case Studies

Northeastern University

Existing Conditions partnered with Northeastern University and LeMessurier to capture accurate building documentation for a series of campus buildings. The first phase began in 2021 when we conducted an exterior scan of the Mugar Life Sciences building. When our clients saw the value of accurate building documentation, we returned for a second phase in 2022 to provide the same deliverables for four additional buildings.

Suffield Academy

Partnering with the Suffield Academy and Centerbrook Architects, an existing conditions survey was conducted on eight buildings, including the Tisch Field House, Perry Gymnasium, Tremaine Arts Center, Spencer Hall, Fuller Hall, Jeanice Seaverns Performing Arts Center, Williams Performing Arts Studio, and Guttag Music Center. A drone survey was also conducted on the East Campus, West Campus, Core Campus, and Muddy Brook. The Existing Conditions' scope of work encompassed both interior and exterior documentation of the buildings, including 3D Revit floor plans, reflected ceiling plans (RCPs), exterior elevations, and roof plans. In addition, a drone survey was conducted to provide an aerial perspective of the buildings, which proved highly beneficial in conjunction with our terrestrial 3D laser scanning of the core campus.

Riverside Labs Life Sciences Campus

The Riverside Labs project highlights the collaboration between Existing Conditions, Shawmut Design and Construction & Gensler. By providing comprehensive as-built documentation services both pre and post-demolition, Existing Conditions demonstrated our 3D laser scanning expertise, crucial for the success of this endeavor. A significant challenge for Gensler at Riverside Labs was the availability of accurate and comprehensive digital as-built documentation. Initially equipped with only a basic set of 2D CAD drawings, the project lacked a detailed 3D Revit model, particularly for core and shell components. Our task was to create accurate, as-built drawings and a 3D BIM model by 3D laser scanning the site to prevent future hiccups, especially concerning MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) systems and structural placements.
