Project Overview

Project Summary

Reality IMT measured exterior elevations of seven buildings and delivered as-built drawings showing opening dimensions up to Level 2 for facade material fabrication. The client — Pillar Construction — needed exact measurements for off-site fabrication of facade materials.

Reality IMT was chosen for this project based on experience, competitive pricing, and proximity to the job site. The scope required precise exterior measurements across multiple buildings to ensure fabricated materials would fit correctly during installation.

Client Need

Project Challenge

Pillar Construction needed exact measurements for off-site fabrication of facade materials. The project demanded precise exterior elevation documentation with opening dimensions for seven buildings, ensuring fabricated components would fit correctly during installation without costly field modifications.

Access / Coordination

The congested site had heavy equipment, muddy conditions from rain, and safety concerns. Lifts were needed to reach above canopy areas, requiring many scans from elevated positions.

Technical Documentation

The project required precise exterior measurements and opening dimensions for seven buildings up to Level 2, with accuracy critical for off-site fabrication success.

Schedule / Business Constraint

Experience, price, and proximity to the job site were key selection criteria, with deliverables needed to keep the fabrication and construction schedule on track.

Reality IMT’s Approach

Precision Exterior Capture and Fabrication-Ready Deliverables

Reality IMT structured the work to capture precise exterior measurements across seven buildings in challenging site conditions, delivering fabrication-ready drawings for off-site production.

Planning & Scope Alignment

Reality IMT planned lift operations and scan positions to capture exterior elevations and opening dimensions for seven buildings up to Level 2, accounting for congested site conditions and canopy obstructions.

Field Capture

Laser measurements were captured from lifts and ground positions to document exterior elevations, facade conditions, and precise opening dimensions across all seven buildings.

Processing & QA/QC

Measurement data was processed and quality-checked to ensure dimensional accuracy critical for off-site fabrication, with particular attention to opening sizes and facade geometry.

Deliverable Production

As-built exterior elevations were produced in Revit, DWG, and PDF formats, showing exact dimensions of openings to support off-site fabrication and exterior renovation coordination.

Project Outputs

Deliverables Provided

The deliverables below reflect the archived project information and should be matched with project-specific images before publication.

Exterior Elevations

As-built exterior elevation drawings for seven buildings, showing facade conditions, materials, and architectural features up to Level 2.

Revit Model

3D Revit model with accurate exterior geometry and opening dimensions for seven buildings, supporting fabrication coordination and design visualization.

PDF Drawing Sheets

Sheet-based PDF deliverables organized by building, showing exterior elevations and opening dimensions for distribution to fabricators and contractors.

Opening Dimensions

Precise measurements of all facade openings — windows, doors, and penetrations — ensuring fabricated materials fit correctly during installation.

Project Outcome

Exact Exterior Measurements for Off-Site Facade Fabrication

The completed documentation provided Pillar Construction with exact exterior measurements and opening dimensions for seven buildings up to Level 2. The as-built elevations in Revit, DWG, and PDF formats ensured fabricated facade materials would fit correctly during installation, eliminating costly field modifications and change orders.

The precise opening dimensions and exterior geometry created a reliable foundation for off-site fabrication, exterior renovation coordination, and contractor installation planning across the multi-building commercial project.
