Construction and renovation projects often require documentation of work that will later be concealed. Once the project is complete, many building elements are hidden from view, so their quality can only be inspected during construction. In this article, we explain why walls should be captured before they are closed up and how this helps document concealed work.
What is concealed work?
Скрытые работы — это все элементы конструкции, которые не видны после завершения строительства или ремонта. К ним относятся электрические коммуникации, сантехнические системы, вентиляция и другие инженерные сети. Эти элементы важны для функционирования объекта, но их качество может быть проверено только на этапе строительства.
Why capture walls before they are closed up?
Capturing walls before they are closed up provides a record of work that will later be concealed. This matters for several reasons. First, it allows you to check the quality of completed work and identify potential defects. Second, it helps prevent disputes between the client and contractor by documenting all the work in photographs or video.
How can walls be captured before they are closed up?
Walls can be documented using photography or video. You can also use 3D scanning or panoramic photography for a more detailed record of concealed work. Capture must take place before the walls are closed up, while all building elements are still visible.
- Photography: provides a photographic record of concealed work.
- Video: provides a video record of concealed work.
- 3D scanning: creates a 3D model of the property and records the condition of concealed work.
- Panoramic photography: creates a panoramic photograph of the property and records the condition of concealed work.
Benefits of capturing walls before they are closed up
Capturing walls before they are closed up offers several benefits. First, it allows you to check the quality of completed work and identify potential defects. Second, it helps prevent disputes between the client and contractor. Third, it creates documentation that can be used for future renovation or construction work.
Conclusion
Capturing walls before they are closed up is an important step in documenting concealed work. It allows you to check workmanship, prevent disputes and create documentation for future renovation or construction. Using 3D scanning, panoramic photography or other capture methods, you can record the condition of concealed work and support quality assurance for the property.
