Roof & Site Plans for 6 Block Complex

In response to a detailed request from a residential complex regarding the surveying and documentation of roof plans across six blocks, our team quickly developed a tailored solution to address the unique aspects of the project.

Challenge

Our client needed a comprehensive roof plan detailing flat roof areas, terraces, and balconies for six residential blocks. The request included specific annotations for each area, such as the number of stacked balconies and the floor area for each flat roof, terrace, and balcony. Additionally, the client was interested in obtaining an optional site plan to show the relation of the six blocks to each other and requested elevations of each block as a potential add-on.

What we did

Our team presented the client with multiple cost-effective options, ensuring flexibility and alignment with their budget. By utilizing LiDAR technology for the initial survey, we created a detailed point cloud as a foundational model. Opting for a 3D model from the outset allowed us to seamlessly incorporate additional details as requested without starting from scratch for each new requirement. This approach significantly reduced the time from instruction to delivery. The final deliverables included 2D drawings, a 3D model, and a comprehensive report featuring the drawings alongside an area schedule, designed to be directly usable by the site manager without further modifications.

Outcome

The strategic project planning and our ability to efficiently adapt to additional client requests resulted in a comprehensive package of documentation. This included detailed roof plans, optional site plans, and elevations, all tailored to the client’s specifications. About six months post-project, when the client needed building height measurements, our foresight in 3D modeling enabled us to quickly provide the necessary data and annotated drawings on the same day as the request, thereby avoiding additional site visits and costs.

Conclusion

Our proactive approach and innovative use of technology not only met the client’s immediate needs but also equipped them with valuable resources for future requirements. By delivering a complete and detailed survey within a tight timeframe, we demonstrated our commitment to exceeding client expectations, showcasing our capability to handle complex surveying projects with efficiency and precision.
