6 reasons to digitaze construction QA/QC with
SIGNAX INSPECTION
Many people think of panoramic photography or 360-degree photos only in the context of Google Maps. However, SIGNAX INSPECTION offers more than just creating panoramic images. It provides the capability to use 360-degree photos on construction sites, linking shooting points to plans, and comparing 360-degree images from different dates. This is the first step towards digitizing construction inspection, making it more flexible and functional. We have prepared six not-so-obvious use cases for SIGNAX INSPECTION on your construction projects.
1. Assessment of Work Completion on the Construction
Site Engineers can only sometimes leave the office to confirm the fact and volume of completed work. With INSPECTION, it's enough to select the shooting point at the work site to check/confirm work completion, quality, and approximate volume of work done over the week.
2. Confirmation of Hidden Work
With only one model, it's difficult to confirm or track the fact that work was done after finishing work. With inspection, you have BEFORE and AFTER photos, such as when closing communications with finishing materials. 360-degree images can determine communications behind the wall or ceiling cladding.
3. Site Housekeeping and Safety Control Tracking
The cause of unfinished work, stored trash, or issuing safety violation notices is no longer a problem. INSPECTION helps identify violations that were missed during the site walkthrough.
4. Visual Log of Events on the Construction Site
Track changes and completed volumes with 360-degree photos. INSPECTION allows, for example, to monitor the volume of work done by a crew before leaving the site and the volume of work the new contractor needs to perform.
5. Resolving Conflicts During Meetings, 360-degree
Photos allow you to be on the construction site while in the office and visualize what you are discussing with colleagues. With SIGNAX INSPECTION, meetings become more virtual and informative, reducing time spent on arguments and focusing more on solving critical problems and tasks.
6. BIM Integration with Comparison Features
SIGNAX INSPECTION integrates not only 360-degree photos but also panoramic points of view within BIM models. You can set up viewpoints in Navisworks, then export them to INSPECTION using the TOOLS module. This allows you to create a comprehensive album of these models that you can easily share with clients for review, without needing additional software. Additionally, you can use 360-degree photos for design supervision, comparing design solutions with the actual state of work.
Conclusion
SIGNAX INSPECTION is a simple and functional tool, making it an essential solution for construction sites. We have presented six examples where SIGNAX INSPECTION becomes a must-have on any construction site. Whether it is assessment, hidden work confirmation, safety, and cleanliness control, maintaining a visual log of events, or resolving conflicts during meetings, SIGNAX INSPECTION allows you to stay informed, access up-to-date data, and make well-informed decisions.
