Purpose Built Devices Enable Efficient Engineering

Engineering, architectural, and construction fields can benefit from rugged tablets with 3D cameras, scanners, and CAD software to enhance accuracy at every stage of a build. With purpose-built tech, engineers and general contractors are better able to communicate during a build to ensure every stage is safely and effectively finished according to spec, and any change orders can be communicated between all members of the team to check for compatibility in real-time.

Rugged Tablets Are Making BIM Accessible to Engineers

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.

Construction Contractors Can Now Leverage BIM With Rugged Tablets

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.

Rugged Tablets On Construction Sites Minimize Cost Overruns

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.
