Here is a case study Scanat Construction Co., Ltd. is using Scanat.
Based in Kanazawa Ward, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Yoshigaki Construction Co., Ltd.—which focuses primarily on repair and renovation projects—has adopted Scanat,” a 3D scanning app for iPhone and iPad, with the goal of streamlining site surveys and improving customer satisfaction.
Background on Implementation
In many renovation projects, there are no existing drawings available on-site. In the past, we relied on photographs and manual measurements, which often led to omissions in dimensional measurements and the need for additional on-site surveys. During the cost estimation process, preparing documents for clients—such as estimates and photo logs—takes a considerable amount of time. Furthermore, even after providing these documents, the information often fails to get across clearly, making it difficult for clients to understand them—a major challenge.
How to Use It
- Customer Presentation: Use 3D models to intuitively explain site conditions and construction details
- Measurement: Measure accurate dimensions and areas from scan data
- Scanning: 3D scan the site in just a few minutes, model it on the spot, and check progress
Pros
- Feeling: The thrill of seeing your creation turn into a 3D model, even though it’s so easy to get started
- Improving Customer Understanding: Easily Sharing Visualizations of the Site Before and After Construction Using 3D Models
- Track Record and Trust: Over 350 projects converted to 3D within approximately three years of implementation, with high praise from customers
Yoshigaki Construction Co., Ltd. aims to continue improving quality and customer satisfaction by incorporating digital technology while preserving the skills passed down through generations.
