FARO - As-Built Software
Redesign of a building for repurpose, enhancement or maintenance requires on-demand, accurate and complete information of the as-built site to ensure your ideas will work. Failure in design results in cost overruns, unnecessary rework and diminished quality. The FARO As-Built Software solutions ensure architects and engineers efficiently create building designs based on precise as-built data that’s fully compatible with your CAD and BIM systems. As-Built reduces the time for information extraction from point cloud data and gets the job done right, so you and your customers can tackle the next big project.
Most popular related searches
- Ensure Better Deliverables
Create your design based on accurate, complete and anytime-available as-built data in order to ensure that your design will work. Validate your design by virtual overlay with the as-built site to run clearance checks and clash detection. - Use with Existing Software
Use as-built data directly with your existing CAD and BIM systems. Proven data exchange interfaces and dedicated plug-ins for your design systems ensure highest model compatibility. As-Built’s user-guided interface reduces training to a minimum. - Keep Budget and Schedules on Track
Increase efficiency with a faster design process using simple, intuitive and automated tools to transfer as-built information into your design systems. Take precise measurements anytime you need to, or transfer point clouds very fast into fully compatible CAD and BIM models to be used as a basis for further design creation. - Gain More Transparency in Your Process
Overlay your final design with a virtual representation of the as-built conditions in order to either validate that your design will fit or explore your design options, resulting in better decisions across the involved stakeholders. - Ensure Return on Investment
As-Built™ maximizes productivity, saving time and effort by preventing multiple visits to construction sites, and eliminates surprises in the construction process. Having the site accessible on your PC means it can be used on future project updates, amortizing the cost of the initial investment. Perpetual licenses and subscription options allow you to access the solution based on your needs.
- BIM Extraction
Use automatic tools to extract objects and object systems for several disciplines of architecture and craft trades, plant engineering, MEP engineering, structural engineering and civil engineering. Powerful tools allow you to apply constraints to the design (e.g., keep highest accuracy while forcing the extracted model to be watertight). - Floor Plans, Elevation Plans and Facade Plans
Creating slices and cross sections in the point cloud provides an overview of the as-built situation. Automatic tools help you extract line models and accelerate the creation of floor or elevation plans. Orthographic images of facades, which can be used in the CAD system, help to precisely plan assembly structures or preservation tasks. - CAD Extraction
Extraction of surfaces and exporting in common CAD exchange formats (DXF, STEP, IGES) allow you to turn the point cloud into a CAD model, which can be used in your well-known CAD systems as an accurate as-built representation of the site. - Design Validation
Virtually overlay your design with the as-built site in order to check if it will fulfill the clearance requirements or if it must be adjusted to avoid clashes. Tools for automatic surface deviation analysis or clash/clearance detection keeps the time investment to a minimum. - Precise Measurement
Take measurements with millimeter-level accuracy. Measure distances, areas, volumes, clearances or highly precise tie-in points to bring your designs to next-level quality.
