    Redesign of a building for repurpose, enhancement or maintenance requires on-demand, accurate and complete information of the as-built site to ensure your ideas will work. Failure in design results in cost overruns, unnecessary rework and diminished quality. The FARO As-Built Software Suite ensures architects and engineers efficiently create building designs based on precise as-built data that’s fully compatible with their CAD and BIM systems.

    As-Built reduces the time for information extraction from point cloud data and gets the job done right, so you and your customers can tackle the next big project. The latest update to FARO As-Built Software Suite bundles As-Built Modeler, As-Built for AutoCAD and As-Built for Revit into one suite, purchasable via subscription. This ensures that you will have the most up-to-date software, on-demand purchase options and future proof software access via your digital license(es).

    Business Value of As-Built Software

    • Ensure Better Deliverables
      Create your design based on accurate, complete and anytime-available as-built data in order to ensure that your design will work. Validate your design by virtual overlay with the as-built site to run clearance checks and clash detection.
    • Use with Existing Software
      Use as-built data directly with your existing CAD and BIM systems. Proven data exchange interfaces and dedicated plug-ins for your design systems ensure highest model compatibility. As-Built’s user-guided interface reduces training to a minimum.
    • Keep Budget and Schedules on Track
      Increase efficiency with a faster design process using simple, intuitive and automated tools to transfer as-built information into your design systems. Take precise measurements anytime you need to, or transfer point clouds very fast into fully compatible CAD and BIM models to be used as a basis for further design creation.
    • Gain More Transparency in Your Process
      Overlay your final design with a virtual representation of the as-built conditions in order to either validate that your design will fit or explore your design options, resulting in better decisions across the involved stakeholders.
    • Ensure Return on Investment
      As-Built™ maximizes productivity, saving time and effort by preventing multiple visits to construction sites, and eliminates surprises in the construction process. Having the site accessible on your PC means it can be used on future project updates, amortizing the cost of the initial investment. Subscription options allow you to access the solution based on your needs.

    The As-Built Software Suite Includes

    • FARO As-Built Modeler: The Most Direct Path From Reality to Any Design System
      As-Built Modeler enables architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) professionals to extract building information, such as CAD and BIM geometry, from 3D data for use in any CAD system, even if it does not support point cloud data. Users can display, manage and evaluate point cloud projects of unlimited size, independently from their source. Overall design productivity is greatly accelerated by using user-friendly tooling to apply measurements, extract highly accurate CAD models and create photorealistic renderings.
    • FARO As-Built for AutoCAD® Software
      As-Built for AutoCAD extends the capabilities of As-Built Modeler with functionality for evaluating 3D laser scanner data directly in AutoCAD. The software extends AutoCAD tooling for point cloud management, modeling and design validation with data captured from a variety of mapping systems and laser scanners. Results of the evaluation are native AutoCAD files and object structures without any limitations in compatibility.
    • FARO As-Built for Autodesk® Revit®
      As-Built for Revit extends the capabilities of Modeler with quick and intuitive workflows for processing 3D as-built laser scanning data directly in Revit using Revit objects and BIM models. It is the perfect complement for Revit users working with large point clouds and integrates seamlessly with the familiar Revit user interface. It features a wide range of evaluation tools for 3D laser scan data with customized commands for modeling and detailing BIM elements.

    Features

    Below, you will find the main features of the product.

    Floor Plans, Elevation Plans and Facade Plans

    Creating slices and cross sections in the point cloud provides an overview of the as-built situation. Automatic tools help you extract line models and accelerate the creation of floor or elevation plans. Orthographic images of facades, which can be used in the CAD system, help to precisely plan assembly structures or preservation tasks.

    New/Enhanced Workflows

    Never miss a crucial software update that makes addressing a particular workflow easier or more efficient. New releases introduce interfaced and compatibility efficiencies that reduce clicks, speed up processes, and integrate new ways of managing, organizing and sharing data through existing customer software and hardware ecosystems.

    BIM Extraction

    Use automatic tools to extract objects and object systems for several disciplines of architecture and craft trades, plant engineering, MEP engineering, structural engineering and civil engineering. Powerful tools allow you to apply constraints to the design (e.g., keep highest accuracy while forcing the extracted model to be watertight).

    Design Validation

    Virtually overlay your design with the as-built site in order to check if it will fulfill the clearance requirements or if it must be adjusted to avoid clashes. Tools for automatic surface deviation analysis or clash/clearance detection keeps the time investment to a minimum.

    CAD Extraction

    Extraction of surfaces and exporting in common CAD exchange formats (DXF, STEP, IGES) allow you to turn the point cloud into a CAD model, which can be used in your well-known CAD systems as an accurate as-built representation of the site.

    Precise Measurement

    Take measurements with millimeter-level accuracy. Measure distances, areas, volumes, clearances or highly precise tie-in points to bring your designs to next-level quality.

    Applications

    Discover the applications in which the product can be used.

    Earthwork

    Generate fast, accurate volume calculations of scanned stockpiles or excavations within building or civil engineering projects. Create accurate terrain models and topographical maps for civil engineering projects. Calculate clearance measurements for tunnels, bridges or highways.

    Outer Shell

    Scan complete buildings to create missing as-built documentation, such as floor plans, elevation plans or façade plans, in order to plan your architectural model or assemblies such as façade panels, isolations or solar systems. Efficiently create 3D as-built models, including ground surfaces, walls, doors and windows, columns, beams and pillars, roofs or even pipe runs in commercial and industrial buildings, to kick off the BIM process with much lower effort and more confidence and transparency. Reconstruct, restore and conserve buildings and historic sites, thanks to detailed 3D scan data.

    Structures

    Get accurate and complete site documentation for building structures made of wood, steel or concrete, such as roofs, beam systems, columns and pillars. Extract as-built models for structural calculations and analysis.

    Building Systems

    Rely on this unmatched solution for as-built documentation of plant and MEP systems (e.g., piping or HVAC). Use inventory documentation of system elements to create bill of materials. Get high-accuracy measurements of tie-in points and clearances for SKID assemblies or other modular exchanges.

    Interior Finishing

    Get true-to-deformation measurements of complex situations, such as roof structures, elevator shafts or interiors of historic buildings. Bypass outdated documentation for repurpose of buildings to plan drywall, carpentry or stairs. Validate designs to prefabricate construction modules that fit perfectly into the existing conditions without the need for rework.
