Creating Positive Experiences for High-end Clients

Creating Positive Experiences for High-end Clients

Customer challenge

With a long history of building and remodeling prestigious residences and estates throughout Southern California, a previous client of McCoy Construction initiated a project to renovate a 1960’s mid-century Bel Air gem with the goal of preserving its original style. McCoy Construction was chosen due to their reputation of high-end quality and craftsmanship. Some of their previous remodels include homes designed by such well known architects as A Quincy Jones, George Washington Smith, Paul Williams, Webber and Spaulding, and James Dolena. The team did research with the previous owners and the local planning department, looking for any type of original working drawings to begin the design work. After exhausting the common resources, it was time to move in a new direction.

Project goals

The McCoy Construction team researched available options as they needed an accurate set of as-builts to begin the project. The goal was to get a high level of detail in the most efficient manner. The idea of using 3D laser scanning was suggested, but with little exposure to the technology, it required interviewing new service providers.

Solution

Through the interview process McCoy Construction contacted Kelar Pacific. They were impressed with what they learned from Chuck Keeley who presented not only the 3D laser scanning services but also the many benefits of using Autodesk Revit for Design. The 3D model developed from the laser scan helped the McCoy Construction team create a new experience for their client. “It was a blessing for the client to see the entire building in 3D.” – Reggie Sully, Project Manager.

Business outcome

Using 3D laser scanning proved the best path to create as-builts for the renovation project. With Revit providing a realistic view of the new design, the client was able to review options before the actual construction started. Walking through the 3D model was also user-friendly for the client, and a major improvement over interpreting a 2D floor plan. The new process resulted in not only a cost savings for the client, it also kept the entire team from client to designer to construction team on the same page.

Conclusion

“It was a pleasure working with Chuck and the Kelar Pacific team. Everything today is service and his response to everything rates a 10. We were impressed in their follow through at every point of the project. Great communication and they delivered more than what was expected. I highly recommend Chuck and his team at Kelar Pacific." – Reggie Sully, McCoy Construction.

Connecting BIM to Field Layout

A mechanical contractor had long embraced BIM technology for improved efficiencies. Starting out as a fabrication shop, they evolved into a mechanical contracting company with commercial construction, special projects, and service divisions. Understanding the benefits of BIM for both design and fabrication, it was time to extend BIM data to the field. With no internal experience, they contacted Kelar Pacific to explore the possibilities for successful adoption.


Get to the Design Phase Faster and with More Accuracy

The Nadel Architecture + Planning Developer-Driven-Retail Design Studio partners with retail investors to create destination retail properties with engaging amenities. Beginning an exterior remodel for a Ventura County retail mall, they looked at a new solution for a common problem, lack of as-built documentation. With hard-to-reach measurements, they wanted to minimize the risk of inaccuracies and multiple site trips typically required to get the high level of documentation projects require.
