Construction Management Software & How AO Uses it

With the use of AI and cloud-based commercial property management software, processes are being automated and streamlined, resulting in saving time and cutting costs. In fact, construction technology’s utilization is increasing across the board, from digitizing workflows and automation, mapping to data analytics, digital visualization, and 3-D printing, to facilitating on jobsites, and improved communications with your team. 

At Alpha Omega Contractors, our team uses the ProCore construction management software platform. The innovative technology allows us to streamline all our processes from pre-construction to closeout. Our team members also stay connected throughout our projects via the intelligent software featuring a user-friendly smartphone app. Through the app, we’re able to send the team project reminders, increasing accountability and productivity. 

Drones are a valuable construction tech tool

The use of drones has increased dramatically, and they have become an integral tech tool for the commercial construction industry and construction teams. Drones are revolutionizing:

• Surveying Land & Mapping 

Drones can replace traditional land surveying methods in the construction industry at a rapid pace, reducing time, labor costs, and human error. They can also provide 360-degree panoramic imagery in minutes, saving up to 20 times the amount of topographical mapping.

• Project Management

Throughout construction, drones can monitor site construction 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Drones can provide data in real time, capturing high-resolution images, which helps with every step of project management.

• Worker Safety

Worker safety is a critical issue on job sites that drones can help monitor by surveilling teams. According to Bizrentz, drones have increased safety by 55% by making hard-to-reach measurements for your workers while monitoring for falls and accidents.

• Data Collection:

Drones combined with AI-driven software allow powerful system processing and data collection that can be sent to a computer via drone software, allowing users to analyze, interpret, and organize collected data.
