All set for modern living design

作者：Ilona Bihlmayer

管理和计划生活空间is becoming more and more complex due to decreasing space for new buildings together with increasing customer demands on design and comfort. Across the residential building industry, including single- and multi-family housing construction, there is a growing importance for construction companies to be ready to处理多个建筑法规regarding environmental protection and living space optimisation.

Especially in the luxury single-housing construction industry, these regulations have to be combined with special designs and smart ways of construction to fulfil the requirements of demanding customers. To satisfy the needs of today’s residential building construction industry, a transition from time and labour-intense traditional analogue layout methods, such as tapes, stringlines, batter boards and chalklines to modern digital layout techniques is inevitable.

目睹建筑建设的发展

Mike Sharp & Son is a general contractor company for luxury residential single- and multi-family houses in the United Kingdom. Established in Wallingford and founded in 1980, the company looks back to close to 40 years of development in the building construction industry. Increasing government building regulations and design requests on the customer side require digital layout techniques to achieve the highest productivity and accuracy.

Mike Sharp＆Son的首席执行官Mike Sharp解释说，“在过去的几年中，我们客户的需求增加了很多。这设计的复杂性上升我们的房屋让我们思考我们的布局技术中的替代方案可以满足客户的要求。透明夏普解释了内壁的布局精度非常重要，“例如，对于厨房制造商而言，在两个墙壁之间仅几毫米的偏差意味着额外的返工。额外的工作会导致时间，金钱，在最坏的情况下，不满意的客户。”

马修·夏普（Matthew Sharp）在家族公司工作，负责布局测量在建筑项目中涉及的所有行业中 - 从定义参考点开始实际设计，铺设房屋的外部和内部线，到定义下水道线的下降。没有调查背景，马修·夏普（Matthew Sharp）接受了各种施工站点的施工布局任务的培训。一个易于使用但高度准确的施工布局解决方案, designed specifically for the building construction industry,帮助他有效地完成布局任务。

迈克·夏普（Mike Sharp＆Son）购买了Leica iCON robotic total stationwith Leica Geosystems’ construction-tailored field图标字段软件到自动执行布局任务。在公司使用磁带，弦线和水平台面上进行布局测量之前。这些程序是耗时的，并且随着设计的复杂性的增加，团队的限制扩展了。

“When werealised that we lose lots of time in the layout process， 我们started to look for modern alternatives那帮助我们促进整个布局过程。One of the reasons why we选择Leica图标解决方案是ease-of-use of both, instrument and software。这直观的软件接口使操作简单, even for employees without a professional layout background,”states Mike Sharp.

自工作以来与图标机器人总站，迈克·夏普和儿子achieves much higher accuracy in its projects in a shorter time。这company has found especially helpful to look at the visualisation of the whole design file in .dxf format. This way employees can show every trade working at the construction site the entire project and everyone knows right on the spot the status of the project and where teams come into play. Mike Sharp explains,“从纸张计划上的2D设计转移到3D设计数据直接直观地显示图标字段construction software ensures the latest design filesare available without outdated or missing elements.”

一个other reason for Mike Sharp & Son to go with an iCON robotic total station from Leica Geosystems was the great consulting, support and outstanding training before, during and also after the purchasing process they received fromSCCS Survey。SCCS调查是英国授权的分销商和服务合作伙伴的Leica Geosystems，是He亚搏苹果appxagon的一部分。
