Creative Solutions for People.

3d Building Scanning Building Information Modeling Facility Assessments

Inspired and experienced. Responsible and collaborative. We listen to your needs, work closely with your internal team, and deliver creative solutions that balance design, function, cost efficiency, and respect for the natural environment. We thrive on the challenges and opportunities that come with helping our clients reach their goals.

As a full-service architecture firm with eight locations across the Midwest, we offer a comprehensive range of services that cover all aspects of building structure and architectural design.

Our team of award-winning architects and engineers work together to create unique and innovative designs that are both functional and visually appealing. We take pride in our ability to engineer buildings that are safe, sustainable, and efficient, while also ensuring that they blend seamlessly into the built environment.

From schematic design to design development, we work closely with our clients to create detailed floor plans that meet their specific needs. Our services include feasibility studies, interior design, structural design, planning, and others – all of which are crucial to ensuring the success of any design and construction project.

3D BUILDING
SCANNING SERVICES.

3D-Scan Scanner Schemmer helps project stakeholders stay laser focused with 3D scanning buildings to BIM Services using the Leica RTC360 Laser Scanner. This cutting edge technology shoots two million points per second and creates 360° advanced High-Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging. Use this 3D scanning process to bring your buildings into the digital world, help lower the life-cycle cost, improve accuracy and collaboration. With Schemmer’s recent acquisition of the Leica RTC360 3D laser scanner, we are able to document and capture environments in 3D, improving efficiency and productivity in the field and in the office.

3D Scanning Buildings Services we provide include:

Models for design, construction and fabrication
Clash detection
Promotional images, video and mixed reality
Capture as-built conditions

BUILDINGINFORMATION
MODELING (BIM)

How projects are being delivered is evolving and technology is continually transforming the way projects are being built. Let Schemmer efficiently help you plan, design, construct and manage your next project utilizing our Building Information Modeling (BIM) virtual design and construction services technology.

BIM Design

Our team utilizes BIM to collaborate in real time within our architecture, structural, mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines in the form of Revit software. We pride ourselves on the use of current technology to enhance design capabilities and increase design efficiency. But the most important aspect is that it allows you to visualize and interact within your project design to ensure your vision becomes a reality.

BIM Software

We are fully equipped with the resources that you need to see your project from concept to 3D virtual reality. Our software brings all construction models together in one place for a seamless review of your project. Before a shovel ever hits the ground we can easily locate problem areas and coordinate solutions for your project by anticipating construction hotspots utilizing Navisworks and Revit for clash detection. Gain instant access to information and progress of your project using a single model that incorporates design and trade models for better project results.

BIM Scope of Services:

Virtual Design and Construction Management
As-Modeled Clash Detection
Operation and Maintenance Data Incorporated into Modeled Equipment
Autodesk BIM 360 Glue for Cloud-based Layout and Coordination

FACILITY ASSESSMENTS

As facility assessment specialists, our design professionals balance the issues of feasibility, cost and aggressive schedules with the unique and diverse needs of our clients.

Our comprehensive facility assessment features
two major components:

Condition Assessment: This allows us to identify the architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical and site conditions. We will address your facility’s physical condition, its life span, and if it complies with current codes.
Functional Assessment: Our evaluation will determine the adequacy of a building to house its intended function. This information helps answer the following questions: How many people and how much equipment can be accommodated? Is there enough space and is it configured properly, or are there space surpluses, deficiencies or functional inadequacies?

The data in both components is stored in proprietary software that helps to manage deferred maintenance and forecast capital renewal. You may need one or both of the facility assessments. Schemmer has a team of professionals specially trained to conduct both types of assessments.

In order to efficiently and effectively conduct a complete facility assessment, Schemmer utilizes our proprietary facility assessment software program, FACILITATE, which is unique to our firm. This program enables our team to input data on-site and in real time, quickly compiling the information for analysis and reporting.
