How XR Takes You to the Next Level If you're using BIM, you're already in the game. But making the investment in BIM is only level one. Now, it's time to use it for maximum advantage. Here are three ways that XR technologies can help you get the most out of your BIM investment—and take your game to the next level. 1. Reduce Rework, RFIs, and Change Orders Challenge: Rework, RFIs, and change orders are more than just an unavoidable part of construction, they can crush your productivity and profitability. Gamechanger: By making it easier to visualize and validate the design in a real-world environment, XR can help teams catch potential problems sooner and minimize costly issues later. When specialty contractors and tradespeople are able to visualize their scope of work and see how it interacts with other systems, they plan and perform their jobs more efficiently and accurately. Using 3D models overlaid onto existing structures and systems, they can perform better and faster clash detection—and you can avoid costly hits to your profit margins. XR helps you minimize rework, RFIs, and change orders by: ý Helping everyone clearly visualize the desired end result ý Making it easier to plan and validate the work to be performed ý Enabling faster identification and resolution of clashes Rework is estimated to account for 30% of the work performed on construction projects and 12-15% of total costs. Read the article to discover how XR can help you reduce rework—and so much more.
