Three Construction Modelling Workflows That Help Reduce Rework Before It Reaches Site<\/h2>

The most expensive project issues often\u00a0aren’t\u00a0caused by a lack of\u00a0information;\u00a0they’re\u00a0caused by decisions being made without the right context.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

In\u00a0<\/span>construction, rework,\u00a0delays\u00a0and coordination issues\u00a0frequently\u00a0occur when teams only discover problems once work has started on site. By that stage, even minor design changes can have significant implications for programme,\u00a0budget\u00a0and resources.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Modern construction modelling workflows allow project teams to\u00a0identify\u00a0risks earlier, improve collaboration and make more informed decisions before construction begins.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Here are three practical ways contractors can use\u00a0<\/span>SketchUp<\/a>\u00a0to bring greater clarity and control to project planning.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

Start with Real-World Site Context<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>

Many projects begin with a design model and add site information later.\u00a0A more effective approach is to start with the site itself.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

By incorporating terrain data, aerial imagery and surrounding site conditions at the outset, project teams can make decisions based on the realities of the environment rather than assumptions.<\/span> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>
