As a leader in digital plan review, we understand that construction projects thrive on precision, efficiency, and collaboration. Yet, the industry continues to grapple with the persistent challenge of project delays. While technology offers a path forward, it's crucial to identify solutions that deliver tangible results.
Large touchscreen displays are proving to be a game-changer, transforming traditional plan rooms into high-performance collaborative hubs that actively mitigate delays. Here's how:
1. From "Zoom Fatigue" to "Full Clarity":
- The Old Way: Architects, engineers, and contractors huddled around laptops, straining to decipher details on small screens, inevitably missing critical clashes and discrepancies. This "zoom fatigue" leads to errors, rework, and project delays.
- The New Way: Large touchscreen displays showcase plans at full scale, providing a panoramic view that reveals the intricate interplay of building systems. This clarity empowers teams to identify potential conflicts early on, preventing costly on-site surprises.
- Real-World Impact: Imagine a MEP coordination meeting where the entire team can visualize complex ductwork, plumbing, and electrical systems simultaneously, identifying and resolving potential clashes before they cause delays on site.
2. Unifying Project Information for Seamless Collaboration:
- The Old Way: Information scattered across emails, paper and spreadsheets creates communication barriers. This divide leads to miscommunication, conflicting information, and ultimately, project delays.
- The New Way: Large touchscreen displays become the focal point of the project, integrating with BIM software, project management tools, and real-time communication platforms. This creates a single source of truth, accessible to all stakeholders, fostering a unified understanding of the project.
- Real-World Impact: A project manager can instantly update the schedule on the display, ensuring that all team members, from architects to subcontractors, are working with the most current information, preventing delays caused by outdated schedules.
3. From Passive Viewing to Dynamic Problem-Solving:
- The Old Way: Static blueprints and printed plans limit interaction and hinder collaborative problem-solving. Lengthy meetings and slow decision-making become inevitable, contributing to project delays.
- The New Way: Touchscreen displays transform plan review into an interactive experience. Teams can annotate plans, explore 3D models from any angle (dependent on software), simulate construction sequences, and even conduct virtual walkthroughs, fostering dynamic problem-solving and accelerating decision-making.
- Real-World Impact: During a design review, the architect can use the touchscreen to demonstrate different design options, gather instant feedback from the client and engineers, and make real-time adjustments, preventing costly delays caused by design revisions later in the process.
4. Quantifiable Results: Measuring the Impact:
- Data-Driven Decisions: As industry leaders in digital plan review, we understand the importance of data-driven decision-making. Studies have shown that integrated digital tools, like large touchscreens, can increase productivity by up to 25% (Construction Industry Institute), significantly reducing project delays and improving overall efficiency.
- Client Testimonials: Our clients consistently report faster approvals, reduced rework, and improved communication thanks to the implementation of large, durable touchscreen displays in their workflows. These tangible results speak for themselves. Take Christopher for example who stated "As a general contractor, we decided to purchase (2) 43" Tabletop Displays to utilize for plan review with our subcontractors, owners, architects/engineers, and internally. They have been extremely helpful on our project so far and will most likely provide us some cost savings for plan reproduction. In the past, we have always had a hard copy set of drawings that we keep updated as the project progresses which requires a fair amount of legwork in maintaining but also purchasing new updated sheets every once in a while. I would highly recommend utilizing Volanti Displays on large projects for cost savings" -Christopher.
Large touchscreen displays are more than just a technological upgrade; they represent a crucial step towards optimizing construction workflows. By fostering a culture of collaboration, transparency, and real-time problem-solving, these displays are empowering construction professionals to overcome the persistent challenge of project delays and deliver exceptional results. It's time to embrace the high-performance plan review displays by Volanti and unlock the true potential of your construction projects.
