The use of advanced technologies was proposed for the needs assessment of selected operational stores undergoing remodeling, including terrestrial laser scanning, 360 photography, BIM modeling, and Virtual Reality walkthroughs. As part of the process, pilot tests were conducted to validate the integration of these tools and optimize the planning and execution of the remodels.
Terrestrial laser scanning captured a precise point cloud, documenting the architectural and structural conditions of each store. This information ensured a detailed and reliable record for assessing the current state and accurately planning the remodels.
360° images of the operational stores were captured, providing an immersive and up-to-date visualization of the environment. This tool facilitated remote inspections and decision-making without the need for on-site visits.
Based on the collected data, BIM models were developed to integrate all relevant information for the remodeling process. These models enabled discipline coordination, optimized design, and efficient change management in each store.
Virtual Reality walkthroughs were created to visualize the remodeled stores before execution. This allowed design teams and clients to evaluate modifications and validate proposals interactively, enhancing decision-making.
