Construction Technology
The digital jobsite: BIM, drones and reality capture, project software, and emerging tech like robotics, 3D printing, and AI.
1. Technology on the Modern Jobsite
beginnerHow technology is transforming construction: the major categories of construction technology, Building Information Modeling (BIM) and clash detection, drones and reality capture, cloud project software and the connected jobsite, and emerging tools like prefabrication, robotics, AI, and wearables — plus how to evaluate, adopt, and get a return on each.
2. Construction Technology in Practice: BIM, Layout, Reality Capture & Field Data
intermediateThe second construction technology course: actually running the tools on a project — writing the BIM execution plan and driving clash detection to sign-off, model-based layout with robotic total stations, planning drone and laser-scan captures and putting the data to work, field data and daily reporting on mobile devices, document control and the single source of truth, and choosing and rolling out technology in a small contractor without disrupting the field.
