Automated Modeling + Drawings from Site Measurements
Allowing for the input of low-tech and cheap site measure processes combined with seamless modelling, review and documentation processes, If/lab has been able to assist in closing the gap between the design, fabrication and installation team to create a fast, cheap and accurate solution to a complex construction problem without the need for costly technology.
