Deliverables

PROJECT APPLICATION

Laser scanning provides the most accurate measurements (2-4mm) in reality capture for existing condition as-built documentation.

ASK

To provide accurate reality capture of Vanderbilt University's golf clubhouse's existing conditions so the architect could design & take bids on extensive upgrades with minimal interference to club operations.

Task

GPRS 3D Laser Scanning provides existing conditions documentation to Vanderbilt University's Legends Golf Club

PROBLEM

Vanderbilt University planned an expansion and renovations of its Legends Golf Club to propel it to "elite facility" status
The architect on the project needed accurate existing conditions documentation to develop a design plan and solicit bids from construction companies
The club management required that any work be completed with minimal operational interference

Solution

GPRS 3D laser scanned the two-story, 17,000 s.f. clubhouse in one day with the Leica RTC360
An intensity map point cloud file, 2D CAD drawings, and a Revit 3D model were all delivered to the architect via GPRS Mapping & Modeling Team
Documenting architectural elements, such as the building envelope, walls, windows, doors, ceilings, exposed columns, beams, and posts with 2-4mm accuracy was critical to the renovation effort

Benefits

Capturing real-time existing conditions prior to designing the expansion & renovation reduced reworks, waste, and mistakes
The 1/4" accuracy provided by the architectural and structural model allowed for extremely detailed plans to be delivered to the contractor
The building renovations created a state-of-the-art facility for the team, the membership, and to aid in recruitment efforts
