The remote management of construction sites is already a reality in civil construction, but many questions still arise regarding the effectiveness and functioning of this innovative method.

Next, discover the main myths and truths about remote management and how the Construct IN platform can be the solution to the most common problems in construction: lack of transparency, communication, and low productivity on the worksites.

"I will be able to go to the construction site less often"

TRUE

The remote management platform allows you to virtually walk through the construction site, enabling verification of the entire space. Thus, it offers a much more complete and transparent solution than traditional reports with conventional images.

This way, it is possible to identify problems even before in-person visits or revisit images from different stages of the work for inspections. This allows the engineer or other responsible parties to reduce in-person visits and optimize their time when they are necessary.

"I can monitor the construction sites anytime and anywhere"

TRUE

With Construct IN, it is possible to view the construction sites in 360° using a mobile phone, tablet, or computer. In other words, you can virtually visit the construction sites whenever and wherever you want, as well as make comments and track the entire progress of the construction.

The ability to visit the works remotely improves workflow and becomes even more important in cases where the construction is located in regions different from the engineering offices and the professionals involved in the project.

As happened in the work at Colégio Marista in Sinop (MG), where more than 3000km of distance between the engineering office and the construction site was overcome.

"I end up spending more on the technology used than going to the construction site"

MYTH

The main objective of the remote management platform is precisely to reduce operational costs and make processes more productive. Therefore, using capture technologies and other innovative resources is essential to have smarter and more economical constructions.

Construct IN ensures better results and a reduction in costs due to unnecessary travel and rework during execution, as many of the construction interferences can be identified in advance.

"I can store images of all construction stages"

TRUE

As a cloud platform, all progress of the construction is digitally documented through 360° images, which are stored in the system in an organized manner and can be accessed by all professionals involved in the project, when authorized. The platform also allows for comparisons between images from different dates, thus verifying the changes that occurred within a certain time frame.

Thus, a history of all the specifications of a project and the stages of the construction is created based on 360° photographic records, which provide a more complete view of the construction site. With this, the technology allows the user to visit any stage of the work for inquiries and have more traceability and reliability of the information.

"It is difficult to implement a routine to capture images"

MYTH

In addition to being very practical, the process of capturing 360° images with Construct IN allows for the functionality of capture scheduling, which enables scheduling and controlling when and where image captures should occur in the construction project.

This feature aims to further enhance user experience and make capturing 360° images more frequent and organized in the system. Thus, it is possible to create a simple and effective routine for performing captures and have good remote management of construction sites.

The tool offers several other benefits that can enhance the results of a construction project.

In it, you will discover the reasons that led major companies to adopt this technology.
