As-Built Plans
Project Overview
DCMS conducted a detailed 3D laser scan and reality capture survey for this 291,798-square-foot public secondary school located in Pointe-aux-Trembles, Quebec. The client required high-accuracy as-built documentation to support a major modernization project, ensuring that every architectural detail was precisely recorded to streamline renovations and compliance with safety standards.
Deliverables
High-Density LiDAR Point Cloud Data: Providing precise spatial information for renovation planning.
Georeferenced Orthophotos: Aerial survey outputs supporting large-scale site modernization.
LOD 300 BIM Model & 2D CAD Drawings – Delivering structured documentation.
Virtual Matterport Walkthrough – Allowing facility managers and architects to assess conditions remotely.
Our Role & Technology
To ensure comprehensive documentation, DCMS utilized terrestrial LiDAR scanning and aerial drone photogrammetry to capture both interior and exterior details of the school building. Our approach allowed architects, engineers, and facility managers to make data-driven decisions for the renovation process. Tools used:
LiDAR 3D laser scanning and aerial drone survey,
Point cloud processing
AutoCAD and 3D modeling software.
Key Challenges & Solutions
Extensive building footprint: We used multi-zone scanning and drone flights to cover interior and exterior areas efficiently.
Facility in use: Our workflow minimized disruption while scanning occupied school spaces.
Multi-stakeholder planning: Virtual walkthroughs and BIM models supported effective collaboration across disciplines.
