▼Highlights of This Case Study
Solution: By using iPads for scanning and outsourcing drawing creation, we streamlined the entire process—from on-site surveys to drawing creation—in a single, integrated workflow.
Results: Work time was reduced by up to approximately 90%. On-site surveys are now completed by a single person in 30 minutes, enabling operations with zero rework.

About SANPUKU Future Co., Ltd.
♦︎Promoting Digital Transformation in the Home Renovation and Real Estate Sectors
SANPUKU Future Co., Ltd. is a real estate company specializing in the renovation of rental properties and tenant brokerage.
As the company handles a large number of properties, it has made streamlining on-site surveys, drawing preparation, and proposal development a key priority.
ScanatChallenges Before Implementation
♦︎A tremendous amount of work and rework is required from the site survey through to the creation of drawings
In our previous store renovation projects, we faced the following challenges:
- On-site survey: 2–4 hours (1–2 people)
- Approximately 5 hours (2 people) for drawing creation and review
- Return Visits Due to Forgotten Measurements or Photos
- Additional Work to Verify Consistency Between Drawings and the Site
As a result, each project required approximately 6 to 12 hours of work, from on-site surveys to drawing preparation.
ScanatHow We Discovered It and Why We Adopted It
♦︎ Solving the management challenge of “wanting to focus on design work”
The decision to implement this system was based on the belief that “designers should be able to focus on their core design work.”
In our previous workflow, creating as-built drawings required a significant amount of time for on-site measurements and photography, followed by drafting back at the office. As a result, designers were consistently unable to devote sufficient time to reviewing renovation plans—the task on which they should have been focusing.
To address these challenges,Scanatwe determined that by utilizing
, we could significantly reduce the time required for everything from on-site surveys to drawing creation, thereby creating an environment where we could focus on design work, which led to our decision to implement the system.
Benefits of Implementation
♦︎Reduce the time required for on-site surveys and drawing preparation by up to approximately 90%
[On-Site Survey]
Before implementation: Took 2–4 hours and required 1–2 people
After implementation: Time reduced to about 30 minutes and can be completed by one person
→ On-site documentation is completed simply by scanning with an iPad
[Drawing Creation]
Before implementation: Took about 5 hours and required two people to complete the work.
After implementation: By outsourcing drawing creation, the creation time is 0 minutes. The process now takes only 30 minutes for review.
→ Drawing creation is outsourced; the process is completed with a simple review.
[Total Workload]
Before implementation: Approx. 6–12 hours
After implementation: Approx. 60 minutes
→ This results in a reduction of approx. 85–92%
Future Outlook
♦︎ A Shift Toward Operations That “Document the Field with Data”
ScanatWith the implementation of
, we were able to shift from the traditional workflow of “go to the site → record the data → create drawings” to a process of “digitizing the site as-is.”
Going forward, we plan to expand the use of this system to more properties and projects, with the aim of standardizing operations and further improving efficiency.
