Defining BIM and VDC
August 16, 2023Technology is having a huge impact on the construction industry, primarily bringing about positive changes. Part of these changes has been in the design aspect of projects. Building information modeling (BIM) and virtual design and construction (VDC) allow teams to save time, communicate clearly, and deliver excellence on capital projects. In June 2020, McKinsey & Company […]
How drones can help improve your construction projects
July 24, 2023The average time U.S. construction professionals spend on rework, conflict resolution and looking for project data — issues that can be avoided with technological advancements — is costing the industry more than $177 billion. The volume of construction waste is going to increase to 2.2 billion tons by 2025, the dire situation becomes all the more real. The […]
Digital Twin
July 24, 2023A digital twin, also called data twin, is a digital representation of a real-world object. Digital twins are used in construction projects to create exact replicas of real-world spaces. These 3D models allow construction teams to interact virtually with the physical property during the design and planning stages. Digital twins are created by gathering and combining […]
Common Data Environment (CDE)
June 16, 2023What is CDE? CDE is a platform that centralizes project data storage and access digitally, typically related to a construction project and Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows. How does it work? The organized workflow happens only with the timely communication of quality information between the relevant stakeholders of the project. In using a single source […]
Data-driven Decision-Making
May 11, 2023The world produces more than 2.5 quintillion bytes of data each day. Quantitative data gives users greater flexibility in extracting valuable information. The biggest challenge in the construction industry is that numerous project-related factors are subjective and qualitative, which means they are hard to measure. Moreover, technological advancements from the past few years have overwhelmed […]
Energy Modeling
May 3, 2023Energy Modeling: With a global population trajectory of 10 billion by 2050, and the majority concentrated in urban areas, studies are estimating that $3.3 trillion of investment will be needed in infrastructure annually through 2030. Given that buildings currently account for 40 percent of global energy consumption, a massive number of new buildings will have […]
