Construction Verification & QA/QC Scanning (Pre-Formwork)

“Capture the truth of your embedded infrastructure while you still can.”

Pre‑Pour 3D Scanning of Concrete Slabs is a proactive quality‑assurance workflow that captures the exact, as‑built position of all embedded infrastructure before concrete is placed. Using high‑resolution LiDAR, Smarter Spaces documents rebar layouts, post‑tension cables, vertical sleeves, conduits, plumbing and mechanical penetrations, and any other in‑slab components while they are still fully visible and accessible.

This pre‑formwork verification step creates a millimetre‑accurate digital record of the slab’s internal conditions, ensuring that what was designed is what gets built. By comparing the scan data against construction drawings, coordination models, or tolerance requirements, project teams can identify misalignments, missing components, or potential clashes before they become costly structural or operational issues.

The resulting 3D dataset becomes a permanent, defensible as‑built reference that supports:

• Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC): Confirms correct placement of embedded systems prior to pour.
• Risk Reduction: Prevents rework, schedule delays, and post‑tension cable strikes.
• Future Renovations & Fit‑Ups: Provides precise locations of hidden infrastructure for safe coring, cutting, and layout.
• Inspection & Compliance: Offers verifiable documentation for engineers, inspectors, and owners.
• Conflict Resolution: Supplies objective evidence when discrepancies arise between trades or design teams.

By integrating LiDAR scanning into the pre‑pour workflow, Smarter Spaces helps contractors deliver higher‑quality slabs, reduce uncertainty, and maintain full traceability of critical building systems long after they disappear beneath the concrete.
