GRAPHEIN

Graphein joins the Berzei 21 initiative – a story of urban regeneration Cities are constantly evolving, and sometimes, forgotten and underutilized spaces deserve a second chance. At Graphein, we believe in the power of technology to breathe new life into places with potential, and the #Berzei21 initiative has given us the perfect opportunity to contribute to such a transformation. A project with cultural and urban impact Berzei 21 is not just a restoration project; it is a vision for the future of urban spaces. Its manifesto (link in comments) highlights the necessity of revitalizing the underused public assets for and with the support of the local creative and cultural scene. The impact of such bottom-up initiatives is huge both at the neighborhood level and across the entire city. This idea resonated with us immediately, and our commitment to supporting projects with community value led us to join this initiative. Graphein’s contribution: 3D scanning of the former REBU halls Like any major transformation, this one unfolds in stages. Our team was honored to participate by conducting a high-precision 3D scan of the former REBU halls and the adjacent public space. This scan represents more than just a digital capture of reality — it serves as a solid foundation for research, planning, and urban reimagination. With the advanced technology we use, we help architects, urban planners, and creatives better visualize and understand the potential of this space. An educational project for future specialists But the impact of Berzei 21 extends beyond the physical space. We had the opportunity to turn this initiative into a learning experience for students from UAUIM and USAMV. We provided them with point cloud data generated from the scanning process, allowing them to gain hands-on experience for their diploma projects. Meeting with them for a session dedicated to best practices in point cloud utilization was an enriching experience, and the workshop led by Iosif Lavric proved to be a valuable opportunity for everyone involved. Bridging past, present, and future Through 3D scanning and innovative technology, we help create a bridge between the past, present, and future. Urban spaces are not just physical locations; they also carry memory and identity. As Jane Jacobs i once said: “Old ideas can sometimes use new buildings. New ideas must use old buildings.” Urban regeneration is precisely this process of transformation — uncovering beauty where others see only decay. That is why we are proud to contribute to this initiative alongside Nod Makerspace, @Fundația Comunitară București, Cartierul Creativ, BAZA, and the 40 organizations supporting Berzei 21. Our cities deserve projects that restore their vitality. At Graphein, we are delighted to be part of this urban regeneration story. #Berzei21 #Graphein #3DScanning #Innovation #CulturalRevitalization

Graphein and KÉSZ Romania: Building the Future with Corallis Apartments In the northern part of Bucharest, along Coralilor Street and overlooking Lake Grivița, one of the city’s most ambitious residential projects is taking shape: Corallis Apartments. On a plot of 15,500 square meters of land, Corallis Apartments will feature five distinct buildings designed to elevate urban living. From its scenic lakeside promenade to dedicated fitness areas and 6,000 square meters of green space, this development redefines modern residential standards. At Graphein, we are proud of our partnership with KÉSZ Romania 🤝, member of KESZ Group, a collaboration that has grown over the past two years. Understanding their evolving needs, we introduced Autodesk Construction Cloud as a digital solution to streamline both internal and external workflows. This advanced software not only facilitates real-time detailing throughout the construction process but also ensures seamless collaboration among all key stakeholders. Our involvement in Corallis Apartments goes beyond software implementation. We’ve brought our expertise in engineering surveying to support KÉSZ Romania at every stage of construction. From establishing precise topographic networks to positioning designed elements on-site 📍 and verifying executed structures through AS-BUILT surveys, we ensure accuracy and efficiency at every step. Our on-site contribution is further enhanced by enclosure monitoring services throughout the excavation phase, providing leveling and planimetric services for optimal execution. The success of Corallis Apartments is a testament to the power of technology-driven collaboration. Seeing Autodesk Construction Cloud actively shaping this project—and further strengthening our partnership with KÉSZ Romania—reinforces our commitment to innovation in the construction industry. At Graphein, we don’t just support projects; we help build the future 🚀. With Corallis Apartments, we’re redefining what’s possible in residential construction, ensuring every detail aligns with the highest standards of precision, sustainability, and excellence. 🌎🏡 #ConstructionInnovation #TopographicSurveying #AutodeskConstructionCloud

A Day in the Life of Graphein at Project One 6:30 AM – The Graphein team in Antwerp is up early, gearing up for another day on-site at INEOS BELGIUM - Project One. Precision and accuracy define our work as we set out to capture the physical world with the highest standards. 8:00 AM – Boots on the ground. The site is buzzing with activity, and we’re right in the middle of it—delivering as-built plans that are shaping the foundation of this massive project. Every measurement, every data point, every line drawn is a step toward engineering excellence. 11:00 AM – Collaboration is key. Working alongside partners on-site, we exchange insights, refine techniques, and push the boundaries of what’s possible. Being part of Project One not only strengthens our expertise but also brings us one step closer to our vision—bridging the real world to the digital realm through geospatial and BIM excellence. 13:15 PM – A well-earned break. Over lunch, we catch up on the day’s progress, share experiences, and, of course, debate whose equipment setup is the most efficient. A moment to recharge before diving back in. 3:00 PM – Cutting-edge technology is at the heart of what we do. Using advanced surveying tools, we’re not just meeting standards—we’re redefining them. Project One has exposed us to new ways of working, higher benchmarks, and an entirely new level of precision. Every step in this project refines our capabilities in enabling digital twins and smarter assets through open standards. 5:30 PM – Wrapping up for the day, but the work doesn’t stop. Data is reviewed, plans are refined, and we prepare for another day of delivering excellence. With every project, we’re solidifying Graphein’s role as the global partner of choice in geospatial and BIM excellence, seamlessly translating the real world into the digital and vice versa.
