Product update

Imerso integrates automatic Field-vs-BIM inspections into Autodesk Construction Cloud

Imerso, a leading provider of automatic fieldwork inspection software for the construction industry, announced today an integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud®, a portfolio of software and services that combines advanced technology, a unique builders network and predictive insights for construction teams. The new integration allows customers to import BIM models hosted in Autodesk® BuildAutodesk® Docs or BIM 360® into Imerso’s inspection engine to run automatic fieldwork quality and progress reports.

BIM Meets the As-Built Status

Closing the information gap between the office and the field is an imperative of the digital future of construction. Outdated methods for fieldwork monitoring, such as using manual random sampling like spot-checks, photos, and red-line diagrams are vastly insufficient for closely tracking the constant changes in a modern construction environment. Previously, lack of detailed and complete information about the jobsite status, coupled with overlooked work deviations and poor as-built documentation led to difficulties in team coordination and unnecessary added costs and delays that have plagued construction projects for decades.

Imerso provides an innovative turnkey solution for construction management teams to easily implement in-house 3D scanning routines in their projects as part of their quality control efforts. The resulting data is automatically verified for compliance against the specifications of their BIM models — generating status reports and early alerts of deviated work and upcoming clashes. The system is compatible with off-the-shelf 3D scanners from vendors such as Leica Geosystems, Trimble, Faro, and NavVis.

Field-vs-BIM inspections in Autodesk Construction Cloud

With one click, the new Imerso integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud allows users to designate their BIM models as the performance targets for the project, which automatically sync with Imerso as the parameters for automated inspection. Leveraging 3D scanning at any desired frequency, onsite teams can now capture vastly larger areas of the worksite in less time than with traditional, manual approaches — creating millimeter-accurate as-built documentation of the entire jobsite in full 3D.

This data automatically uploads to Imerso’s platform for verification against the selected BIM models. Deviations can also be corrected immediately in the Imerso platform with one click, generating an as-built BIM update that can be pushed to Autodesk Construction Cloud for approval and then merged with the federated model.

“Identifying building errors early and throughout the construction process helps reduce costly rework or delays,” said James Cook, director, partner integrations, Autodesk Construction Solutions. “Incorporating the 3D models builders trust into Autodesk Construction Cloud with Imerso allows project managers to visualize scan data with the most up-to-date information, empowering stakeholders to quickly pinpoint costly deviations throughout the project.”

Boosting Productivity with Automation

With over 10 million square meters inspected, Imerso’s solution has been rapidly adopted by some of the leading players in the Nordics and Central Europe seeking to replace outdated processes with modern digital tools. The solution is used by general contractors, construction management providers, property developers, and architecture and engineering firms leveraging the system for cost savings from early deviation detections, acceleration of delivery schedules, a reduction in the number of jobsite visits, and better control and security.

“This is a great security for our projects. It is a huge benefit to get an overview of issues right away and a big advantage that it is so easy to learn and use. Our projects would not be the same without Imerso.”
