Communicate and
coordinate more
effectively
With the same understanding of the project and in the
right context, teams can plan and work more effectively
together than if they're following traditional construction
workflows and processes. During the planning and
construction phases, teams can surface potential design
and site discrepancies and communicate changes
quickly to everyone involved, helping to reduce the risk
of mistakes and rework. Teams in the field and office are
connected through the solution and can work off the
same data in real time.
"We're filling the gap between
the architects, the people in the
office, and the people in the field."
— Fredrik Bergstrom, CEO/Owner, FMT AMB
Avoid safety hazards
and traffic congestion
Work crews can precisely identify potential hazards
and hidden underground services. With a better
understanding of the design in the context of the real-
world site, they can create traffic and heavy equipment
plans to ensure smoother workflows and avoid utility
strikes and other potential dangers that can cause harm
to workers or expensive setbacks in the project.
"Visual literacy helps employees
to better see hazards that they
otherwise wouldn't be noticing on
a day-to-day basis; things they are
so familiar with they might just
walk by."
— Kelli Smith, Occupational Health
Director, Cummins
