CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY LEVERAGING THE RIGHT TOOLS TO ENHANCE EFFICIENCY AND QUALITY BIM (Building Information Modeling) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that gives architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals the insight and tools to more efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure before ever turning over a shovel of dirt.

Harper has an in-house Virtual Building team that uses BIM to build a project virtually, in order to eliminate any costly errors ahead of time — streamlining the schedule and saving you from any potential delays or rework costs.

LASER SCANNING: For renovations and project additions, our Harper team leverages our robotic total station to scan the existing buildings and create the most accurate as-built drawings possible. The newly created as-builts can be shared with the design team to efficiently further their design efforts. The project team will also leverage the as-built model as the design matures and will conform to actual field conditions.

MATERIALS & OPTIONS ANALYSIS/VALUE ENGINEERING: During the preconstruction process we will use Beck 3D estimating to efficiently develop accurate take-off of the building design. When using 3D Design Models in OAC & design meetings, we evaluate “on-thefly” design decisions to see the immediate impacts to the project budget.

VIRTUAL & AUGMENTED REALITY: Harper offers the latest in Virtual Reality and

Augmented Reality by allowing our design team and client to virtually tour the proposed facilities and offer actionable feedback before construction commences.

THE MONTGOMERY BUILDING SPARTANBURG, SC | CM AT-RISK The Montgomery Building, an iconic 10-story building with a lower level basement located in downtown Spartanburg, SC, was designed and built in 1924.
