The costs of error and rework are estimated to be as much as 30% of project costs by some experts. This could mean the industry is wasting hundreds of billions of dollars each year.

The technology landscape is changing at an ever-increasing speed. Construction technology continues to rapidly evolve and drive forward the industry to become safer, cheaper and quicker.

Rework and disputes in construction cost time, money and effort. Joe Hughes at XYZ Reality explores how a proactive approach can manage and mitigate rework, and avoid costly disputes. 

How XYZ Reality’s Engineering-Grade Augmented Reality headset, the Atom, enables superior on-site accuracy, eliminating rework and driving quality assurance for subcontractors.

Stephen Webb, Field Application Manager at XYZ Reality, writes about the challenges the construction sector faces and the value that can be delivered through a sensible approach to digital adoption.  

After three turbulent years, we explore how the industry is adapting to change.

Helping contractors work more efficiently and effectively within regulatory guidelines, advanced technology holds the key to safety in construction.

Laser scanning has the potential to streamline many aspects of quality management in construction. But does it approach validation and remediation from the wrong perspective? (YES!) 

To close the productivity gap, construction must turn to ‘construction-first’ digital solutions, developed by those who have a complete understanding of the sector’s challenges and inefficiencies. 

The Get It Right Initiative estimates that 21% of UK construction project value is wasted on rework. A new way of looking at mistakes holds the key to fixing the problem.

John McLoughlin, Chartered Engineer and Associate Director at Cundall, writes about how XYZ Reality’s Engineering-Grade Augmented Reality headset, The Atom, is helping site teams unlock the full potential of hyperscale 3D models.

The new Transforming Infrastructure Performance (TIP) Roadmap to 2030 gives a new boost to the transformation of construction that is underway in the UK.

Last year, COP 26 drew all eyes on the UK as world leaders and sustainability experts came together to plot out a renewed strategy for a greener future.

The TIP Roadmap to 2030 lays out a vision for a more effective and more efficient built environment and highlights how digital technology can have a transformative impact on the construction industry.

Over the last decade, we’ve seen a rapid rise in the number of ‘mission critical’ projects receiving planning consent, with shovels regularly going into the ground across the UK to deliver these essential pieces of infrastructure.

Whilst many in the construction industry will no doubt be disappointed with the way 2021 culminated, with supply chain issues, labour shortages and the Omicron variant exacting their toll on sector performance, there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic going into 2022 and beyond.
