We could strongly agree that with the rise of new technologies, the construction industry is undergoing a significant transformation, and one of the most exciting developments is the growing use of visual intelligence. The ability to extract insights from project site visuals is becoming an essential tool for construction professionals looking to optimize their operations and improve their outcomes.
Visual Intelligence is helping construction leaders to remotely comprehend and monitor the exact progress of construction, take necessary timely actions and remotely at a micro level and be in complete control of project. Visual data captured by drones and 360-degree cameras are processed and analysed by visual intelligence platforms to distinguish between work packages while simultaneously tracking their progress at specified intervals.
In Construction: Seeing is Believing! - 2 ways to leverage new-age technologies!
Traditional project management processes often rely on static documentation, such as spreadsheets, drawings, and reports, which can be time-consuming to create, difficult to share, and challenging to update. This can lead to delays, errors, and miscommunication, which can impact project outcomes and profitability.
Therefore, it is crucial for construction professionals to adopt new technologies that enhance their ability to visualize and manage project information. From drone footage and 3D modeling to machine learning algorithms and virtual reality simulations, visual intelligence provides construction teams with a wealth of data that help them make better decisions, increase productivity, reduce costs, and enhance safety on the job site.
Plan Better
During the Land Scouting stage, visual intelligence platform allows project managers to analyze accurate maps created with the help of drones to determine the best location for construction by considering terrain, environmental factors, and zoning regulations.
In the Land Survey stage, visual intelligence enables construction professionals with various tools (DSM, DTM, Contour Mapping, Streamflow Simulation) to derive meaningful information and insights, far more than whats achieved in a regular topo survey. 3D models of the project site created using drone technology helps in taking better design decisions and make necessary adjustments before construction begins.
During the Land Excavation and Foundation phase, measuring the quantities of excavations remotely and without using any on the ground equipment becomes possible with visual intelligence.
During the Build stage, it helps monitor exterior and interior progress and detect issues in real-time with for virtual walkthroughs across multiple floors. BIM vs Actual comparison, Snag management, Work Inspection Request, Work Breakdown Structure all become seamless with the use of this technology. This allows project managers and site engineers to detect and resolve issues in real-time, ensuring that the project runs smoothly and is completed on time. Virtual tour and drone map-based snags can be created against work packages and project structures.
During the Handover stage, with visual records of work, a robust punch list items and snag management module helps in completion of this task faster and error free.
Visually Monitor & Collaborate
Visual Intelligence eventually helps construction professionals in computation and project management tasks that vastly improve the scope, efficiency, and timeliness of construction projects. Project managers easily gather accurate data on the progress of the project, identify issues in real-time, and make necessary adjustments. This also enables project managers to ensure that the construction is on track and in line with the design plans.
These capabilities allow for improved communication and collaboration between project teams on a single platform leading to more efficient construction processes and timely project completion. By providing a comprehensive view of the construction site through accurate data analysis, visual intelligence technologies help project managers to efficiently manage the project and achieve successful outcomes.
