The construction industry is witnessing an uptick in sophisticated structures. Constructors undertaking such projects need accurate, real-time data and seamless collaboration among diverse stakeholders. The growing emphasis on sustainability and efficiency in project execution adds another layer of complexity. The very nature of the task demands solutions that minimize errors and reduce rework while helping constructors fulfill on-time and on-budget commitments. SDMM, a forward-thinking engineering and surveying firm, bridges this gap and specializes in transforming development visions into reality. With over 65 years of history, SDMM started as a land surveying company and has evolved into a multidisciplinary firm, adding a civil engineering department in the late 1990s and embracing laser scanning and building information modeling (BIM) in 2011. This evolution reflects SDMM’s commitment to innovation and adaptation in an ever-changing industry. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services that encompass traditional surveying and engineering alongside cutting-edge Reality Capture solutions. These include static and mobile laser scanning, photogrammetry, drone mapping and detailed as-built documentation. SDMM uses advanced technologies like BIM to proactively address industry challenges, empowering clients to achieve project goals optimally. “We leverage decades of field experience with best-in-class tools to capture an accurate picture of project environments. We empower clients to make informed decisions, reducing project risks and enhancing overall outcomes,” says Chris Foran, VP of Reality Capture solutions at SDMM. By integrating Reality Capture from the get-go, companies gain a comprehensive understanding of site conditions, enabling better planning. This proactive approach translates to immediate ROI through fewer site visits and reduced meeting time spent describing complex environments.

Construction Management Services

In the construction industry, projects advance through structured processes founded on mutually-agreed-to contractual basis. In the current Project execution models, restricted budgets and timing for detailed design on technically complex projects often hinder the project team’s ability to clearly plan the Works and to prioritize the short and long-term objectives effectively. Despite the adoption of “intelligent” and “robust” construction management tools, there is limited improvement in the market KPIs and productivity, indicating poorly initiated projects leading to seemingly inevitable conflicts among stakeholders. Resolving these disputes is daunting and often entailing high costs. Over the past 40 years, Cogerec Consultants remained an industry leader in dispute resolution in the construction industry, having completed hundreds of assignments globally and saving tens of millions for their clients. Its proactive and collaborative project management and assistance services include planning, scheduling, project controls, KPI analysis, claims avoidance and independent expert reviews and reports in dispute resolution. Cogerec’s services are also often requested by both parties (clients and contractors) in order to act as the common expert to resolve differing positions concerning specific encountered issues during the performance of the project works. “With our background and history in the construction industry, we are extremely well positioned to assist contractors and clients in claims avoidance and collaborative dispute resolutions” says Michel El Saddi, the new president of Cogerec Consultants Ltd. With years of experience in project management, contracts management and dispute resolution, Saddi and his team are also proficient in providing litigation support and testifying in arbitration and legal proceedings.

When comparing the popular board games Battleship and Chess, it’s clear that one relies on chance while the other requires strategy and skill. In Battleship, you blindly fire, hoping to hit your target by luck. Chess, on the other hand, demands careful planning, foresight, and precision. Now, think about how your construction company schedules crucial tasks like hauling materials, fueling, equipment repairs, and coordinating subcontractors. If these tasks aren’t planned with deliberate intention, taking into account not just the next day’s plans but how each task impacts the rest, then you’re playing Battleship, not Chess. “You can’t manage what you can’t see!” This principle drove the creation of Vizzn’s innovative dispatch and scheduling software. In construction, variances in expected schedules happen all the time. Teams responsible for material deliveries, fueling, equipment repairs, and subcontractors operate independently with their own priorities, often resulting in chaos that jeopardizes profitability. Vizzn empowers you to play Chess, not Battleship. By digitizing dispatch and scheduling, Vizzn gives you clear visibility and confidence in how all events align — days in advance. It translates the activities of various teams into a cohesive plan, ensuring seamless coordination across job sites. With Vizzn, teams responsible for critical tasks are digitally held accountable to the plan while gaining enhanced visibility as the day unfolds. Even with the best schedule, unexpected challenges can arise. Vizzn equips those on the ground with tools to react quickly. Clicking on any event offers the same level of visibility as if you were handling the task yourself.

Embracing The Latest Technologies In Construction

The construction market is witnessing explosive growth due to rapid technological advancements, changing global priorities and economic fluctuations. The integration of construction software and technology spans all stages, from project initiation to completion. Construction businesses are increasingly relying on digital tools for project management activities like scheduling, planning, estimating and design. Consistent innovations enhance collaboration, improve efficiency, and meet the demands of complex construction projects. For construction managers, modern project management software incorporated with AI-driven analytics has become essential for staying ahead in the industry. Fail-proof resource planning and access to real-time data have also reduced construction project delays. Another significant trend is the development of 3D printing technology, which helps control the structure and shape of concrete, leading to more durable and high-quality buildings. It helps optimize material use and reduce waste, contributing to sustainable construction processes. It also speeds up construction, reduces human error and allows building complex shapes that were once considered impossible. Roofing software is also gaining traction in the construction industry, simplifying and organizing the workforce. It helps keep the projects on track and avoid costly mishaps by offering a centralized database of information and improving communication. Contractors can now create accurate estimates, track project progress and streamline communication with clients and team members. Real-time data and improved decision-making are helping reduce errors and enhance customer satisfaction, ultimately driving growth and success in the market. With these technologies, businesses can minimize confusion and manage work more effectively. In this edition of Construction Tech Review, we explore the recent developments and leading trends in project management software, 3D printed technology platforms and roofing solutions and how companies leverage cutting-edge solutions to stay abreast of challenges and potential potholes for establishing a strong presence among the public. We hope this edition of Construction Tech Review helps you find the right partner for your business requirements. Let us know your thoughts!
