Once the internal process has been defined, it’s time to think about the technology to use for documentation. For Marco Bonelli, it’s clear that reality capture must be a fundamental part of the Golden Thread documentation to really fulfill all legal requirements.
Harvey Jassal from idigitalhub agrees. He tested different approaches before settling on his current process using OpenSpace 360° reality capture.
Here is a sample workflow for documenting a facade that has been working well for his clients:
Step 1 - Use an existing CAD plan and divide the plan into subsections.
Step 2 - Take a 360° capture within each section across relevant dates throughout the building process—usually before, during, and after work is being carried out.
Step 3 - Use OpenSpace Field Notes to append relevant information and notes to your 360° capture and to tag or assign tasks.
Step 4 - Images are automatically time-stamped and located on the plan; using the OpenSpace Split View feature, teams can easily showcase the work that has been carried out.
