FARO Announces Latest Ground-breaking Version of BuildIT Construction 2018.5 with Enhanced Functionality to Improve Transparency for an Informed Construction Lifecycle

The BuildIT Construction Software 2018.5 version provides new workflows and enhancements for continuous project evaluation for superior accountability in Traceable Construction™.

The world’s most trusted source for 3D measurement and imaging solutions for factory metrology and construction BIM/CIM applications, announces the latest version of BuildIT Construction (2018.5). BuildIT Construction Software is a comprehensive verification software solution that accelerates projects and minimizes waste by now giving construction professionals the power of a single software ecosystem configured with automated workflows and powerful established platforms.

Focus Laser Scanner Registration

Multiple import solutions are now available creating a more seamless experience in software integration. BuildIT 2018.5 now provides the ability to register Focus Laser Scanner data files directly during import. Removing the need for a registration software for various site workflows and enabling an on-site validation process within one software solution results in an efficient workflow. It is a key differentiator for BuildIT as it reduces the time from capturing reality to the validation report by half while also drastically reducing the steps.

Autodesk® Revit™ File Import

BuildIT Construction 2018.5 features the ability to AEC professionals are now able to import native Autodesk® Revit® files from version 2015 - 2018.5. This result in a faster process for model comparison due to native file import from one of the major BIM design tools. Another benefit of this Revit™ File Import includes the avoidance of lost information due to data conversion limitations and improving traceability using the object’s project ID within various software platforms as well as invalidation reports.

Support of IFC File Import

In addition to the Revit File Importation feature, BuildIT 2018.5 also allows users to import IFC 2x3 and IFC 4.0 files. Since IFC files are a common standard in the construction industry, the practice of validation against design models is made more efficient and straight-forward.

Tolerance Evaluation

BuildIT Construction new tank volume analysis command gives construction professionals the ability to analyze various tank forms. By understanding the volume of tanks, users will now document the correct volume in a trusted and traceable way. Facility managers can calculate and create tank volume charts for calibration based on specified height intervals. Customers will also be able to perform important inspections accurately and quickly that range from inspection of floor flatness and levelness, topographic curves to measuring
