In the ever-evolving construction sector, we remain committed to continuous improvement. By closely monitoring global breakthroughs and integrating cutting-edge practices, we propel our industry toward a comprehensive transformation. As technology accelerates, we find ourselves at the precipice of a revolution—one that promises to reshape construction as we know it.

Our advanced remote monitoring tool, CoGence, creates a measurable 3D virtual model of construction sites. Leveraging sophisticated computer vision techniques, the tool swiftly detects visible irregularities such as cracks, honeycombs, and plumb deviations. Even cement slurry residues are meticulously tracked, ensuring timely corrective action.

A major feature of this AI-enabled platform is its ability to generate accurate As-built drawings. As-built drawings, also known as "as-is plans" of existing conditions, are representations of the current state of structure and surroundings. These drawings may include various types such as floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, sections, exterior elevations, and more, depending on the specific needs of the project.

Because a key feature of as-built drawings is accuracy, these documents must be precise and detailed to ensure they accurately represent the property or building. As a result, they are created with extreme care, which is why they are more reflective of actual work done at site than good for construction drawings. 

Key challenges pertaining to As-built drawings faced by several of our clients include:

Here is where Cogence comes in. It uses real-time point cloud data scans for generation of As-built drawings. Its measurement accuracies are at 99.95% transactionally, leading to highly accurate as-builts. The dimensional accuracies have helped provide clients with the exact area statements, enabling them to have higher negotiating power with tenants.

Further, in several instances where clients lease out space from a third party, accurate as-builts have helped establish the actual area being leased out as well as provide the client with accurate drawings for further fitout design.

Our commitment to innovation and efficiency drives us forward, shaping the landscape of construction. At every step, we strive for excellence; CoGence is leading the industry towards a future where technology and human expertise harmonize seamlessly.
