3D laser scanning is the answer - wouldn’t you agree? “At its core, building documentation is all about creating accurate, detailed, and reliable representations of a building's physical characteristics. This data serves as the foundation for renovation projects, maintenance plans, and even historical preservation efforts. They ensure that every stakeholder, from architects and engineers to contractors and owners, is on the same page, minimizing errors and maximizing efficiency.” 👇 #3DRealityCapture #3DLaserScan #architecture #engineering #construction

We are thrilled to present our latest research paper on Situational Awareness (SA) in Complex Projects in #iglc32. Our study focuses on enhancing SA by sharing real-time information among project participants, enabling informed decision-making based on the project's current status. One of the key innovations we explored is the implementation of Digital Visual Management (DVM) tools. These tools have the potential to streamline communication and simplify information dissemination in construction infrastructure (CI) projects. However, our research identifies several challenges and barriers to DVM implementation: - Lack of digital tools for effective data collection and analysis. - DVM tools primarily targeting top management, overlooking other stakeholders. - A significant lack of trust among project participants. Our study involved interviews with nine project management professionals involved in the complex infrastructure project of the western Metro in Helsinki and Espoo, Finland. The findings emphasize that: -Digitalizing data collection processes, -Building trust among all project participants, -And ensuring widespread information dissemination are crucial for the successful implementation of DVM tools. We extend our gratitude to everyone involved and look forward to discussing these insights further at the conference. Join us in exploring how we can enhance SA and drive innovation in CI projects! #ProjectManagement #DigitalTransformation #ConstructionInnovation #DVM #SituationalAwareness #Research #IGLC32 #Helsinki #Espoo #MetroProject #Aaltouniversity Ana Reinbold, Eelon Lappalainen, Dr. Petri Uusitalo, Olli Seppänen and Antti Peltokorpi https://lnkd.in/dgquJ-63
