3D Modeling and Quantity Takeoffs
Before beginning a project, your team needs an in-depth understanding of the construction jobsite. Accurately estimate costs for materials and labor required with 3D modeling and quantity takeoffs. SITECH West can help you improve data collection and reduce errors, allowing you to uncover challenges before construction begins.
Data Modeling Services
Create visual representations of your project and data to better manage it. Trimble® 3D construction modeling services can be used to automate design processes, utilize pre-built content and transfer design attributes across software. 3D data models can be made of jobsites, simulate scenarios and analyze data.
Once we understand the specific needs and requirements of your project, we can create the conceptual 3D models. Numerous projects are compatible with the Trimble 3D data preparation solution:
- Drilling systems
- Fine grading
- Utility trenches
- Major roadwork
- Paving projects
Machine Control Modeling
Machine control modeling focuses on creating models to manage and control heavy equipment in construction projects. 2D plans and CAD files translate into a detailed 3D model of the project. It is then uploaded to the machine control system to guide it.
This automation reduces the need for manual adjustments, which saves time and labor on the jobsite, as it builds projects to the specified design attributes.
These detailed digital models are used for the automated guidance and operation of many construction machines:
- Dozers
- Graders
- Excavators
- Curbing machines
- Pavers
- Compactors
- Loaders
Quantity Takeoff
Accurately plan projects and manage costs with quantity takeoff. Estimating the exact quantities of resources and hours of labor to complete a given project provides insight into what you will need before beginning a construction project, helping you avoid delays and unexpected costs. These findings can also help your team develop a realistic project schedule.
Quantity takeoff can measure any of the following components of your project:
- Construction materials
- Required labor
- Necessary equipment
Benefits of 3D Modeling and Quantity Takeoffs
3D modeling and quantity takeoff services offer a wide variety of advantages. SITECH West modeling and takeoff solutions can:
- Improve productivity and accuracy: These solutions provide in-depth data that can increase control, streamline processes and improve safety. Reduce human error with automation and reliable models.
- Enhance cost-efficiency: 3D models and quantity takeoffs allow you to analyze costs from the beginning of your project. You can know exactly how much money and time to budget for your project, so you can meet your project profitability goals.
- Share data in real time: Don’t wait to pass along data and request project updates. SITECH West solutions support immediate communication between the jobsite and the office, keeping everyone in the loop.
SITECH West also provides consulting and training services so you can use our solutions to their full potential. We help with updates, repairs and more.
