Site Survey Exact-Built™Comprehensive documentation of all surrounding streets, curbs, sidewalks, landscaping, parking areas, existing structures and neighboring facilities:

A perfect memory of all pre-existing conditions prior to the start of construction. Should you have issues regarding damage of your facility, or a neighbor or municipality claims you caused damage, you will have third party date-stamped images which prove the pre-existing conditions;

An ongoing insurance policy for the owner.

When a problem arises on a project, either the design team, the construction team, or both, are necessarily responsible for having done something wrong. You can be certain that you did not“own it wrong.” Nonetheless, you can also be certain that it is you, the owner, who your team will look to for the cost of correction unless you can hold them quickly and categorically responsible for their performance.

Thus, Government entities (federal, state and local), Educational Facilities, Hospitals, and Developers all derive great benefitfrom using Multivista on their projects. Comprehensive and professional documentation of your project during each stage of construction will result in a better built and more easily and economically managed facility. Owners can expect more effective and timely communication between project associates, less change orders, higher quality installations, and an exceedingly accurateas-built. The Multivista information system provides simple to use records which are invaluable for combating inevitable quality issues, schedule delays, invalidated change orders, voided warranty claims, legal claims and disputes. The Multivista Exact-Built™ system provides an independent third party documentation that keeps your entire construction team accountable and provides fora more transparent project that ensures you, the owner of the facility, are getting what you paid for. We accomplish this by offering the following project services.

Pre-Slab Exact-Built™Comprehensive documentation of the MEP systems (mechanical / electrical / plumbing) and structural components of each slab just prior to the placing of the concrete:

If a slab or parking deck develops substantial cracks or fails, then why? This Exact Built™ serves as a “virtual x-ray” for comparing the as- built conditions with the engineered drawings and to determine if other structures might fail as well. Is there a systemic problem or is this an isolated issue? Negates the traditional need for more invasive and expensive forensic analysis.

Coring slabs in order to accommodate late stage changes, missing or wrongly placed items, and for any future renovations or expansions, it is vital to know exactly where everything is inside the slab to avoid damaging any of the MEP systems or compromising the structural integrity.

Interior andExterior Progressions“Progression” sets are undertaken at pre-determined intervals throughout the duration of construction to broadly document all interior and exterior progress as well as substantial details of the constructionover time:

Discover and prove schedule delays, verify construction according to plans and specifications, check on the materials being used, assure the quality installation of your systems, and investigate code issues;

Save on time and travel by enabling a remote walk-thru of the ongoing project;

Allow for the architect, engineers, scheduling and other consultants, vendors, etc. to view the project 24x7. These firms typically charge for each site visit. Our service allows them to virtually walk the job remotely without the owner having to pay for it. When site visits are nonetheless necessary, remote diagnosis of problem allow the right remedial team to be assembled the first time and saves the Owner the expense of multiple trips;

Powerful collaboration tool for team members to conduct “virtual” QA/QC meetings. Lends itself to better communication/collaboration by identifying problems and issues before they happen, enables back checking of materials used, change order verification, and the monitoring of deficiencies and final touch-ups;

Mitigate future risk. Quickly and remotely verify if a discovered problem is a systemic or an isolated issue. Negates the traditional need for destructive verification.

MEP Exact-Built™A complete documentation of the MEP systems within every wall and ceiling just prior to covering:

Most facility managers tell us that the as-built drawings are inaccurate, not available at the time of building start-up, or missing completely. Having your facilities and operations management team work blindly could be an extremely expensive situation for you. We have had clients hit critical systems in their walls, floors, and ceilings because of inaccurate as- builts that have caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages;

Multivista provides the equivalent of x-ray vision. This is accomplished through a complete documentation of the MEP systems within every wall and ceiling immediately before covering with insulation or drywall;

When doing a renovation, contractors typically add at least a 5% premium to protect themselves against unforeseen conditions. You the owner are paying this premium. The Multivista Exact-Built™ system virtually eliminates all of these unforeseen conditions, which will most likely save you between 2-5% on all future renovations and expansions;

Owners are grappling with the most litigious environment in decades. On certain project- types, particularly those where the ownership will transfer at build-out to either one or more new owners (i.e., residential condominiums), litigation is almost a foregone conclusion. Multivista Exact-Built™ technology allows claims of systemic latent defects to be immediately disproven without the cost of destructive testing or expensive litigation and undermines “sample”-based class-action lawsuits.

A multi stage custom documentation designed to capture the entire exterior elevations at various stages of system application:

Building envelope consultants normally take a sampling of photos designed to show the system used, typically 1-5% of windows, doors, and exterior waterproofing. If a problem develops, this means there is a 95-99% chance there is no documentation covering the specific area. Elevation Exact- Builts™ invert that ratio, affording far greater protection;

Water problems are usually traced back to an isolated area of improper surface preparation, improper application/ installation, window failure and/ or improper flashing and sealing – not to the system itself. Thus, pre- selected “multi-point” audits are insufficient. You need a truly comprehensive record. Multivista provides that;

Absent Multivista, you would have to perform destructive verification that may include the entire exterior system.

Finished Interior Exact-Built™

Summary

A final documentation of the project around the time of completion or just prior to turnover or occupancy. All floor surfaces, walls, and ceilings are documented so that you have a complete record of the condition of the facility at completion. Can be expanded to also include components such as the finished exterior elevations, roof, and landscaping:

This will help you with warranty issues, outstanding punch list items, proof of project not being complete and the ability to eliminate finger pointing on who did what and what was not complete by the finished date;

Combined with the other shoots in your Multivista portfolio, this is the ultimate close- out deliverable. No other close-out document, as-built or report will provide you with the critical information you need as quickly, accurately and easily as the Multivista system.

In today’s market, several general contractors and subcontractors are being extremely aggressive with their pricing to win work. That’s great for our owner clients, but who is going to make sure everything that was specified and every dollar that was spent is being installed properly on your project? You are saving 20% on most construction jobs today, why would you not add a fraction of a percent back into the job to make sure that everyone is accountable and that the project is more transparent from beginning to end? Remember, most projects only have a one or two year warranty. Most shoddy construction problems will not become evident until well after that time. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a verifiable photograph that clearly shows any faulty installations to help you remediate those issues down the road? That is what we do for our clients. We provide a perfect memory of where, how and when something was installed, built and delivered.

SlideshowsSlideshows – Sets of images which are a part of the documentation but not linked to any of the specific architectural drawings:

Can be used as a standalone Executive summary of your project in less than 100 photos.

Option to make that portion of the documentation public. A great PR tool which allows the community to see how your project is coming along;

Allows lenders, consultants, committees and executives to quickly see the overall state of construction inside and outside the project – excellent for material delivery verification, pay application verification and internal reviews;

Repository for any images which do not fit neatly into the regular documentation paths but are still important to capture when observed.

Recognizing that information is most useful when it can be found in one easy to find place, these are also used to house aerial photos, client- supplied photos, specific quality issues, safety concerns, etc.
