| I cannot wait for the day when tech companies become players in the construction industry because it looks like it is the only way forward to make a change. To think that everything has been digitalized a long time ago, yet contract law cannot properly deal with delineating responsibilities between GC and Architects, who are still sending 2D drawings to each other. Imagine, all this information about quantities and door types (and everything else) is already available and produced by the architect's team, BUT they cannot share it! Because if they do, they are responsible for the numbers in case something is wrong. So now there is this circus of:
Arch technologist making the base drawing with doors.
GC receives documents, counts doors for verification, and sends them to the sub.
Subcontractor looks at these drawings, counts them again, and sends data to the supplier.
Guess what, the supplier also looks, counts, confirms, and back we go. Though I think robotics will change all of that. And when we have some sort of bot assistance, big tech players will have a bigger leverage in this, which will lead to the proper change management architecture. Anyway, cool product. Anything to help with estimation. Really hope it gets traction. |
They even gave me a big desk at Trondheim/Tyholt so I could help them with the software during my studies.
