Our technology bridges the gap between scan data and your design process. We specialise in transforming point clouds using advanced subsampling and automated structural element detection. This allows for efficient conversion into standard drawing formats compatible with Revit and AutoCAD.

Leveraging Cutting-Edge Technologies:

• Drone Integration: We utilise drones to efficiently capture vast areas and high-rise structures. Drones provide a safe and cost-effective way to collect data, minimising the need for scaffolding or personnel access to dangerous areas.
• LiDAR Scanning: Our process incorporates LiDAR scanners, which capture highly detailed point clouds. This meticulous data allows us to identify intricate details like connections and steel members, which is crucial for accurate modelling.
• SLAM Mapping: We employ SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology to generate floor plans and architectural layouts. SLAM creates real-time maps of the environment, streamlining the process for capturing complex geometries.

Our ‘world-class’ non-evasive technical roof inspections provide a holistic review of your build envelope backed with a detailed photographic report to ensure the stakeholders are well-informed for decision-making.

Non-Evasive Site Inspection, Data Processing & Reporting:

• Visual inspection of readily accessible roof elements from a safe vantage point focused on key areas like roof penetrations, flashings, seams, drainage systems, and potential problem areas, providing key data on the building envelope’s ability to perform.
• High-resolution images are stitched together to create a comprehensive roof map. All issues are clearly marked on the map with detailed annotations and photographs.
• The photographic technical report is generated, outlining observations, potential problems, and recommendations for further action, all aligned with the latest SANS regulations and best practices.

We utilise the South African National Standards to create typical technical specifications for building envelopes. These specifications outline the building’s exterior enclosure requirements, ensuring it meets performance standards for durability, weather resistance, energy efficiency, and occupant comfort.

Key Points

• Standardisation: We leverage SANS, a recognised set of national standards, to ensure consistency and quality in their building envelope specifications. This approach promotes adherence to best practices and simplifies the construction process.
• Performance-Based Design: SANS standards likely focus on achieving specific performance outcomes rather than prescribing rigid methods or materials. This allows for flexibility and innovation in design solutions while guaranteeing the desired building envelope performance.
• Tailored Specifications: MRC Group can adapt the SANS standards to suit the unique requirements of each project. Factors like location, building type, and intended use can influence the specific envelope performance criteria.
• Quality Assurance: By referencing SANS standards, MRC Group establishes a benchmark for quality control during construction. This promotes the use of suitable materials, proper installation techniques, and adherence to design intent.
