Case Study: Existing Conditions achieves faster, higher-quality historic building capture with NavVis VLX

Existing Conditions' historic building capture with NavVis VLX

Existing Conditions, an as-built capture company, needed to efficiently document a large, historic 350,000 sq ft building. Their challenge was to find a faster and more cost-effective method than their traditional terrestrial laser scanners, which were slow, lacked color data, and couldn't provide certainty of complete coverage on a single site visit. They tested NavVis VLX to see if it could meet their high accuracy standards while speeding up the process.

The solution implemented was a hybrid workflow using the NavVis VLX mobile mapping system alongside traditional scanners. NavVis VLX significantly reduced data capture time by 75% and lowered the project budget by 25%. The high-quality, colorized data it produced integrated seamlessly with other datasets and provided the accuracy needed to identify structural details. The success of this project led Existing Conditions to immediately invest in two additional NavVis VLX units.
