ClearEdge3D has announced the release of its software, Verity 1.0, which verifies the accuracy of new construction against design/fabrication models, giving general contractors insight into their construction projects. The software analyzes laser scan point cloud data of the as-built construction against the design/fabrication models, identifying variances, missing elements or other construction errors. The variance data and corrected model can be exported to Navisworks for as-built clash detection and further analysis.
Poorly constructed and out-of-tolerance work is a problem in the construction industry, typically accounting for 5 percent of a project’s cost. Verity can reduce this financial impact by flagging problems early in the construction process so they can be remediated or eliminated before they impact schedules or future work.
The software has been in private beta release for nine months with more than sixty firms participating in the beta program, including DPR Construction, Mortenson Construction, Turner Construction, Whiting-Turner, Beck Group, Interserve, Kier Construction, Balfour-Beatty and others.
The software has reporting capabilities that allows firms to communicate the Verity results in HTML or PDF to all stakeholders. ClearEdge3D is at work on the next release of Verity which will include integrating additional platforms including Tekla, Solibri, Revit and others.
The software is available to select firms for a free 21-day trial subscription. To apply for a free trial, contact [email protected].
