Description
Learn how we used laser scanning and Building Design Suite to coordinate the installation of a new chiller and air handling unit in the basement of one of Florida's premier performance venues. We demonstrate how we used ReCap™, Revit®-based software, Navisworks® software, and Apple® iPads® tablets to create a 4D clash detection model to preplan the movement of a 8.5-ton chiller into the existing mechanical room. Because performances scheduled throughout the construction limited downtime, having an efficient process was critical. The virtual design and construction (VDC) team learned the most efficient ways to transfer point cloud files using the ReCap RCS format, perform clash detection in the point cloud in Navisworks, create models, and distribute the information to the team for use in the field. This lean process helped all team members visualize and plan their work, and it provided the owner with a useful as-built model for future work.
Key Learnings
- Aggregate model files into ReCap, navigate the point cloud, take measurements, and distribute data from the ReCap model
- Bring laser scan data into Revit and model existing conditions
- Perform clash detection in Navisworks using scan data and RVT files
- Explain why laser scanning is a cost effective way to document as-built conditions and coordinate renovation work

Kristopher LengiezaKristopher M. Lengieza, Vice President of Operational Excellence (OpEx) at Stiles Corporation in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, has been instrumental with the integration of VDC, lean and LEED principles in several companies over the course of his career. Lengieza has earned a multitude of awards for his work, and he was nationally recognized by both ENR (Engineering News Record) and BD&C (Building Design and Construction) as one of the top 40 construction professionals under 40. He is constantly seeking to further the use of technology and foster innovation in the construction industry, most recently as part of the Construction PDF Coalition. As such, Lengieza has been a sought-after speaker for national conferences, including Autodesk University, BIMForum, Ecobuild, SPAR, and many other regional events. More importantly, Lengieza is always willing to volunteer and share his knowledge. He has taught for numerous organizations over the past 5 years, including Associated General Contractors and American Institute of Architects to name a few. Lengieza earned his civil engineering degree in 2004, from Lehigh University.
