REduced rework and Improved productivity
In construction, the budgets of Research and Development teams are drastically smaller compared to other industries (typically is below 1% of revenues). That is why construction lags behind other sectors in terms of implementation of new technologies.
Typically, contractors lose 5% of a projects value to rework due to design and construction mistakes. Some reports estimate the loos as much as 12%.
According to the report based on the data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, over the last 20 years, the productivity in the construction industry has gone up only 1% every year.
But, with the help of an augmented reality headset, an employee can receive direct instruction and act accordingly. As a result, the AR training costs lower, the instructions are more intuitive, and the downtime is minimized.
BIM EVOLVE’S IMPACT
Here at BIM Evolve we strive to stay on the cutting edge of BIM technology and aim to create efficiency for the field workers. Actionable items that BIM Evolve is doing with hololens:
Create accurate 3d models that Framers can use to layout in the field.
Framers can see MEP penetrations in real time through hololens to accurately plan strategies for framing.
Wall Schedules, Door tags, stud types, backing information and many more can be viewed through the hololens.
