At VM Group, with over 30 years of experience in the building envelope sector, we have learned that the quality of a ventilated facade is not only measured by the material chosen, but also by the precision with which it is designed.
Today, thanks to the integration of the 3D Laser Scanner, we are able to offer our customers a huge competitive advantage: certainty of cost and installation.
Why is traditional surveying an economic risk?
Manual measurements often lead to errors of a few centimeters which, on large surfaces in HPL, fiber cement, or ceramic, result in:
Waste of expensive material.
Delays in installation due to pieces that need to be trimmed on site.
Unforeseen extra costs to manage structural inaccuracies.
The Laser Scanner: Millimeter Precision = Real Savings
The 3D Laser Scanner generates a “point cloud” that faithfully replicates the existing building. This allows us to:
Optimize Cuts: We order only the necessary slabs, reducing waste to a minimum.
“Tailor-made” Installation: Each bracket and each panel is designed knowing exactly where they will be positioned, speeding up installation times by 30%.
Integrated Safety: We detect every critical node or thermal bridge, allowing us to insert fire barriers with surgical precision.
From point clouds to digital construction sites
At VM Group, we don't just collect data; we transform it into a dynamic executive project. This technological approach, combined with the use of drones for thermal analysis, ensures that your ventilated facade is not only beautiful, but technically perfect and built to last without unexpected maintenance.
"Innovation is not a cost, but the only way to guarantee customers a secure and transparent investment."
