In this way, we’ll unlock more technology, more often.Lamont believes that what we really need is something to change the entire world at once, and suggests the use of mobile phones and QR codes to achieve this.

He doesn’t believe more BIM is the answer to the industry’s problems, explaining that a drawing numbering system isn’t going to help the worker installing rebar.Instead, he says, onsite construction technology solutions should revolve around getting workers who are already using technology like mobile phones, to use that same tech in different ways, aiding and improving onsite construction processes via photographing, scanning, etc.Moreover, he also advocates incentivising the use of technology in order to boost worker engagement.

Having everything pre-logged back at the site-shed could mean that workers no longer need to fill out end-of-day paperwork, enabling them to go home earlier instead.. asBuilt believe it’s these types of changes which will ultimately create the necessary unlock with platforms and technology in construction.Suddenly, we’ll be using construction digitalisation all the time, and we’ll start to see platforms emerge which aren’t thinking at the level of the consultant, but are addressing some of the more specific and prevalent construction site issues instead.

One such issue is illiteracy.

We need to begin targeting the many construction workers who can’t read particularly well, and figuring out practical ways we can get them to use construction technology., p7043.. For further reading, see also:.
