Spatial and Operational Planning

Optimize your assets and accelerate your project

Use reality capture, BIM, and VDC to see, analyze, and optimize your concepts before construction. Our spatial planning finds and fixes problems digitally—preventing costly surprises, improving bid accuracy, and reducing downtime and lack of accountability. Speed up your project and protect your bottom line.

Our key offerings

Reality

Capture

Scan & precisely document assets, equipment layouts, structural and architectural components. Translate the data captured into existing conditions sets for use in design and construction. Distribute the documentation in applicable formats quickly and efficiently to AEC partners.

BIM/VDC Documentation

Take control of your capital projects with custom BIM & VDC contract requirements. Gain deeper insights, hold contractors accountable, secure competitive bids, and expedite construction.

Digital Twins and

Operational As Builts

Elevate your operations with 3D as-builts and digital twins. Gain accurate, accessible facility data for optimized processes, proactive maintenance, and seamless collaboration with AEC partners.

Constructability

and Coordination

Identify design conflicts early to avoid inflated contractor bids and costly delays. Our VDC constructability reviews and 3D submittal management in a common data environment keep your project coordinated, on-schedule, and on-budget.

Demolish, Install,

& Closeout

Plan every phase with precise, time-sequenced demolitions and mechanical installations. Our 4D VDC approach cuts downtime and ensures accurate, operation-focused as-built documentation—so you stay in control from start to finish.

Overcoming your Spatial and Operational Planning challenges

01

Complex existing conditions

OAR’s reality capture services have a proven track record of scanning and modeling extremely mechanically dense and complex industrial plants. Our team, equipment, and workflows are designed to deliver exceptional data in challenging environments. Learn more about our work inside materials recovery facilities (MRFs) here.

02

Unsophisticated BIM/3D/VDC

Practices from Clients or AEC Partners

When OAR is hired to conduct constructability reviews or manage BIM for a project, we employ systems and methods to assist less experienced partners, ensuring your project stays on track.

03

Project owner without an engineering department

OAR understands that project owners are subject matter experts in their facilities and production needs but may not be familiar with technology to accelerate construction. You focus on what you need to design, build, or change in your facility—we’ll handle the technological aspects to make it real, faster.

Why choose OAR as your Spatial and Operational Planning Partner?

Advanced technology

Reality capture, BIM, and VDC methodologies are advancing rapidly. OAR is dedicated to employing the latest software, hardware, and workflows to deliver superior results for your spatial planning project.

Customized approach

OAR has worked on diverse projects, including recycling plants, museums, shipyards, and single-family homes. Our approach is always tailored to the project’s specific needs, and we have extensive experience applying BIM, VDC, and reality capture across a wide range of industries and clients.

Maximizing benefits for project owners

As you might suspect, it’s not always in the best interest of designers or contractors for your project to proceed as efficiently and quickly as possible. Engage with us early to develop a game plan that accelerates your project, reduces shutdown time, and prevents surprise expenses.
