Over the last few years in the architecture community, there’s been greater adoption of 3d scanning technology to create accurate as-builts and existing condition models. And certainly, the events of 2020 prompted a significant tailwind for this as many suddenly had to reconsider how site and structure information was gathered and shared. Whether it was out of sudden necessity or […]
Architects are increasingly adopting 3d scanning technology to create as-builts and existing conditions models, and we certainly saw an uptick of its use in 2020 that has carried forward to the present. Still, despite the benefits 3d scanning has demonstrated, particularly as the need to conduct business virtually has increased, there remains some hesitation within the architecture industry at large […]
Gathering data of existing site conditions before design work can begin is foundational. But it can also be time consuming, especially when architects have to make site visits and walk the space, manually capturing the data whether that’s by tape measure, laser DISTO, or a mobile 3d scanning app. Of course, these more traditional methods come with their drawbacks — […]
Sarah Bahnoo, an assistant project manager here at ZELUS, has a knack for precision. When she’s not working with the team to deliver precise as-builts, you might find her at an archery range perfecting her longbow shot –– the most challenging of archery bows to master. Sarah grew up in the United Arab Emirates, where she studied architecture at the University […]
Have we entered the industrial revolution of construction? Many in the industry are predicting commercial construction will completely transform the field over the next few years, and the convergence of advanced technology and off-site prefabrication will play a critical role. In fact, the prefabricated nonresidential building construction market is expected to grow to more than $58B in 2021, up nearly […]
Off-site prefabrication is popular in other parts of the world, but it has experienced several false starts here in the United States. That is, until recently. The pandemic increased unpredictability within the construction industry, and many are realizing that prefabrication can solve pressing issues in the field. Ken Smerz, CEO of ZELUS, discusses four of the key benefits to adopting […]
ZELUS Director of VDC/BIM Ron Nauta joins hosts David Campbell and Joe Whitney on the Brewing with BIM podcast. The trio discusses technological advances in the construction industry, what drew Ron to construction in his early years, why BIM technology is a gamechanger, especially for historic building sites, and — of course — their favorite local craft brews. Tune into […]
The events of 2020 prompted many across the construction industry to reevaluate how they operated. This created a massive tailwind for the adoption of advanced technology in the industry. In fact, we hit a record high, eclipsing even some of the most aggressive forecasts. Some analysts predicted what would’ve taken three years to achieve, was reached in just nine months […]
Off-site construction or prefabrication is becoming more pervasive across various sectors of the construction industry, and it isn’t any wonder why. It delivers tremendous advantages to all stakeholders — owners, architects, contractors — across the planning, design-build workflow and construction value chain by significantly improving the efficiency in the construction process. Benefits of off-site construction Over the years, construction has […]
