3D laser scanning, Digital Twin and digital construction control helped during the construction of the 25,000 m² Heart Center Bonn to detect construction errors early, reduce costs and make construction progress more transparent.

Loss of Control

The Challenge

Large construction projects frequently struggle with the same problems:

  • lack of transparency about actual construction progress
  • planning deviations are detected too late
  • time-consuming on-site inspections
  • high costs due to rework and construction delays

During the construction of the Heart Center Bonn, a complex project with many trades had to be efficiently monitored – without slowing down construction progress.

Digital Construction Control

The Solution

Through regular 3D laser scans and a Digital Twin, construction progress could be continuously documented. The decisive step: comparing as-built scans with the BIM planning models. This allowed deviations to be automatically detected, such as:

  • incorrectly positioned openings
  • clashes between trades
  • planning errors in installations

The results were made accessible to all stakeholders via a central platform.

Pain Points

Challenges the Digital Twin Solved

Lack of transparency about actual construction progress

On large construction sites, there is often no clear overview of what has actually been built and where the project truly stands.

Planning deviations are detected too late

Discrepancies between planning and reality are frequently only noticed once they have already led to conflicts or delays.

Time-consuming on-site inspections

Many construction checks require time-intensive site walks to verify progress, dimensions and execution.

High costs due to rework and construction delays

Errors that are discovered late frequently lead to expensive rework and can jeopardise the entire construction schedule.

With qapture, we have better control over our project. This saves a lot of time, which we can instead use for contract negotiations, project follow-ups and proactive change management.

Why work with us

Your Partner for Reliable Building Data

We help companies make complex construction projects more transparent — with precise building data and digital twins as a reliable basis for decision-making.

Experience from complex construction projects

Unser Team besteht aus Expert:innen für Reality Capture, BIM und Gebäudedigitalisierung.

In Projekten wie dem Herzzentrum Bonn zeigen wir, wie digitale Baukontrolle dazu beitragen kann, Baufortschritte transparenter zu machen, Planabweichungen früh zu erkennen und Risiken zu reduzieren.

Solutions that fit the project

Every construction project is different. That is why we combine 3D laser scanning, BIM and digital construction monitoring into solutions precisely tailored to the requirements of a project and its trades.

The foundation for better decisions

We do not just deliver data or models. We create a reliable digital foundation that makes construction progress, deviations and quality issues traceable at any time.
