El arte de la precisión

La tecnología de nube de puntos aporta precisión y belleza a la construcción de viviendas

When it comes time to build your custom home, you want to get it right the first time. You need to feel confident that you’ve chosen an architectural practice that prioritizes accuracy and precision alongside inspired design.

En Turkel Design hemos desarrollado una proceso sistematizado to ensure that the custom home you fall in love with during the design process is the home that is ultimately assembled on your building site. It’s a process that we are constantly refining and improving thanks to evolving technology. With traditional construction, you might be surprised how often the home that is built does not match what the architect drew—or that the architectural drawings do not represent a buildable structure. Our prefabrication method, on the other hand, employs technological advancements to ensure that the homes we design can be constructed and with greater precision—in less time, at a lower overall cost—than if they were designed and built using traditional methods.

Liberados de la construcción tradicional con palos, aprovechamos la tecnología para mejorar cada aspecto del proceso de planificación y construcción, desde el escaneo, el modelado y la visualización en 3D hasta la fabricación. Estas herramientas aportan previsibilidad a cada edificio que diseñamos y prefabricamos, lo que reduce el riesgo y da como resultado un hogar más hermoso.

Para lograr esta previsibilidad, la precisión es fundamental. La exactitud de nuestras viviendas se debe no sólo a la prefabricación, sino también al software 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM), que permite la resolución de conflictos previa a la prefabricación. Para complementar nuestros modelos BIM, empleamos tecnología de escaneo 3D in situ que elimina la necesidad de medir el edificio a mano. El escaneo digital de los cimientos, por ejemplo, permite a nuestros arquitectos evaluar la precisión de la casa en tiempo real, durante el proceso de construcción.

This software allows each design to exist as a collection of data points in a cloud; the spatial relationships between each point reflect the accurate measurements of the home under construction. At the Turkel Design studio in Somerville, Massachusetts, our design team can be confident about the measurements of the foundation of any project, whether it’s in Hawaii or Colorado.

Los datos de la nube de puntos se introducen en nuestro BIM, que contiene todos los detalles sobre los componentes del edificio que se prefabrican en la fábrica. Cuando el paquete prefabricado se entrega en el sitio de construcción, podemos estar seguros de que se ajusta a los cimientos que su contratista general local ha preparado.

El BIM también proporciona la documentación utilizada por el contratista para montar la vivienda. En cada paso del proceso, los datos son consistentes, lo que permite que el arquitecto, el contratista y cualquier otro consultor necesario colaboren sin información contradictoria. Esta coherencia reduce la necesidad de revisiones y correcciones, lo que ahorra tiempo y dinero al propietario.

Part of the beauty of the point cloud scan is that, through its inherent accuracy, it reduces the possibility of human error that comes with measuring by hand, or entering data into multiple software programs. It clarifies communication between Turkel Design and the local contractor, ensuring that everyone is working from precise information. Because of the sheer volume of data stored in the model, each stakeholder can utilize it to serve their needs. The model can be viewed in any number of ways—it even allows users to virtually walk through the home.

Those who see these images at a glance may not realize the accuracy of the data they contain. For example, a Turkel Design home in Ohio—a variation on our Axioma 2650 design—is nearing completion thanks in part to the road map of data visualized in the image above. In a future post, we’ll move indoors to see how digital scanning and point cloud technology ensure that our custom cabinetry fits beautifully within the home. 

Turkel Design is always looking for new methods to improve accuracy and clear communication between stakeholders. Every step of the way—from an initial visit to your building site, through the interactive design process, permitting, fabrication, assembly, and finishing—we have refined our process to reduce risk and bring predictability to the cost, timeline, and quality of your custom home project.  

We think there’s beauty in predictability—figuratively and literally. This principle informs the process behind our modern custom homes.
