While Building Information Modeling (BIM) has improved traditional building design, keeping the BIM up-to-date typically requires professional survey crews, specialty service providers or in-house teams, like the Greenwich Interior Designer, with specialized equipment to measure the as-built state of a project and do a model update.

Building Information Modeling is one way that design firms are able to deliver projects on time and within budget but in contrast, construction firms have been slow to adopt leveraging BIM in the field. This is mostly because keeping the BIM updated and accurate can be a slow, lengthy process requiring extra man hours from already overworked staff or the input of hired-in specialists with equipment capable of the task of assessing as-built project states and updating the BIM for the project to move forward.

Construction costs are constantly inflated due to cost overruns due to poor time management, injuries on the construction site, and delays caused by lack of real-time communication and data. Rugged tablets can help minimize workplace hazards and accidents, keep track of workers on the site and visiting civilians, organize tasks, share information, manage vendors, and post updates and important notices. Edmonton general contractors SEKO Construction are known for their innovative approaches to project management and could greatly benefit from implementing such technology.
