Many construction companies are looking for new techniques, resources, and innovations that can improve their daily work and still generate better results at the end of the construction processes. After all, innovation is the word of the moment, and those who do not invest in it are being left behind.

Some management challenges, such as lack of transparency and decentralization of information, are the main reasons for the constant search for improvements and technologies to assist in this. Remote construction management is one of the solutions that organizations have sought to solve these and other problems.

Construct IN, a management and documentation platform for construction projects through 360° images, has been addressing these pain points, making the construction site more digital. There are already over 3,000 remotely managed projects and 400 clients impacted by the results that the tool offers.

Next, meet 4 major partners who use the tool for remote management of their projects, optimizing time and productivity of their initiatives. Among them are companies in project planning and compatibility, consulting, and retail.

Companies that use the Visi by Construct IN platform

Timenow

One of the 10 largest consulting engineering and project management companies in Brazil focuses on innovation and the development of different management methods.

The partnership between Timenow and Construct IN has generated positive results. The management via 360° cameras platform was essential for digital and remote monitoring of the projects, especially during the pandemic caused by the coronavirus.

According to Octávio Amaranto Magalhães, Head of Innovation and Communication, in addition to enabling remote project management, the tool brought more transparency, savings, and productivity to the company.

“We have a productivity gain of the field inspector by 50%, reducing visits from two per day to one visit per day to the construction site, because everything is automated and we have done an integration process.”

Petz

One of the fastest-growing Pet Shop chains in Brazil, with the goal of bringing the best of the market to pets and their owners. Currently, it is considered the largest Pet retailer in the country and the first in the sector to go public on B3, Brazil's official stock exchange.

With the expansion projects of Petz, the platform for remote project monitoring was essential for conducting project visits from a distance, bringing more agility and productivity to tasks related to the inspection process.

According to Lucas Carassato, project analyst at Petz, the daily capture of 360° photos performed by Construct IN offers more visibility and transparency of the construction site.

“We have an overview daily of all points and environments. We can mitigate risks and reduce the chances of a problem occurring that could become more chronic and even jeopardize our opening,” he adds.

In addition to improvements in team communication, the company also highlights savings on travels and the project history as differentiators of the platform.

LD Consulting

Present in the market for over 10 years, LD Consulting operates in consulting services in various areas such as Project, Planning, Pre-construction, and Project Management. Operating throughout the national territory and in other countries like Chile and Uruguay, the company has always been in search of the best technologies and intelligent solutions to meet demands and deliver efficient and quality results.

The lack of transparency and agility in the flow of a project is among the main challenges for the company. Therefore, the Construct IN platform has assisted in the traceability of information and made remote visualization of the construction site more efficient, as all data is centralized in one place and 360° images are used to document the stages of construction.

Marcus Sterzi, Civil Engineer and Lean Consultant at the company, emphasizes the importance of this solution for the team's productivity:

“The technology allows for decision-making based on information in a more rapid and dynamically way, without having to wait to make an in-person visit or travel.”

Fabrício Berger de Vargas, Civil Engineer, Lean Consultant at LD, and researcher at UFRGS, also believes that the use of the remote construction management platform can reduce rework issues due to systematic documentation of processes:

“Sometimes, it is necessary to seek information about previous processes. Thus, with the search for records, it is possible to avoid reworks by having to check, for example, where reinforcements were left inside a drywall wall.”

The professionals also highlight the great potential of the tool regarding reduction of operational costs, having clients in different countries and states.

ProjetaBIM

With over 40 years in the construction market, ProjetaBIM is a company that seeks to optimize the planning and monitoring processes of a construction project through BIM technology. Its services include BIM compatibility, 4D planning, Executive BIM modeling, quantitative extraction, project coordination, and 5D measurement.

The company was contracted to carry out the project and coordination of the Marista School construction in Sinop/MT - over 3000km from its headquarters in Porto Alegre - with the main challenge being the integration of communication between project teams, architects, and construction executors.

Some technologies, such as that of Construct IN, were used during the project to align the information flow and bring more transparency and objectivity to the process.

Thus, the integration of Construct IN with the BIM model played an important role in facilitating the exchange of information and clear visualization, as well as the various other functionalities of the platform that enabled effective remote project management.

The main gains for ProjetaBIM with the tool were:

• Better monitoring of the project by its teams;

• More agility in changing strategies in the schedule and prioritizing work areas;

• More accurate reports;

• Reduction of travel and displacement costs;

• Better communication among teams.
