How are modern technologies revolutionising the construction industry? We are entering a groundbreaking era where advanced innovations fundamentally change how construction projects are executed

Today’s projects integrate traditional methods with cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), reality capture, 3D scanning, and others. This fusion is establishing new benchmarks for efficiency and accuracy in construction practices.

With deep knowledge and practical application of these technologies, AMC Bridge has created the list of TOP 5 technology demonstrations that showcase innovative ways to leverage these advancements for enhanced benefits in the construction industry.

LiDAR Scan-to-BIM Floor Planner

Best for: Facility Management.

  • Business challenge: The costly and time-consuming process of generating accurate floor plans for facility management.
  • LiDAR Scan-to-BIM Floor Planner uses smartphone-integrated LiDAR technology for detailed 3D scanning. It simplifies floor plan generation, supports automated and rapid planning, offers flexible exports, and enables cost-efficient material estimation and offline work.
  • Value: Technology demonstration has the potential to lead to new ways of interacting with the environment and bridge the gap between physical and digital experiences.
  • Digital Construction Technology: LiDAR, Scan-to-BIM

Construction Quality and Progress Checker

Best for: Construction, Architecture, Real Estate, Facility Management.

  • Business challenge: The process of manual site inspections of construction projects is inefficient, costly, time-consuming, and error prone.
  • Construction Quality and Progress Checker demonstrates a capability to identify deviations from the design early on, ensuring the construction is moving in the right direction and avoiding expensive rework and building slow-downs.
  • Value: Can help resolve measurement inaccuracies and reduce the time and effort required for manual tasks.
  • Digital Construction Technology: Machine Learning.

Floor Plan Generator for Autodesk® Revit®

Best for: Real Estate Development, Interior Design, Facility Management.

  • Business challenge: The inefficiency of creating optimised and functional floor plans that meet specific design goals and space constraints in real estate development, interior design, and facility management.
  • Floor Plan Generator for Autodesk® Revit® showcases possible solution permutations, visualises them in 3D, and enables exploring and optimising design alternatives quickly and efficiently. It can help generate enhanced floor plans for new buildings, create efficient and functional plans for homes or other spaces by optimising factors such as natural light and space utilisation, and explore different layouts and configurations to improve spaces.
  • Value: Automating floor plan generation, reducing costs through accurate material estimation, enhancing efficiency, and supporting offline work.
  • Digital Construction Technology: AI.

Architectural Chatbot for Revit

Best for: Cost Estimation.

  • Business challenge: Architects and engineers invest considerable time in designing and refining their models, resulting in possible delays and escalated expenses during construction.
  • Architectural Chatbot for Revit® demonstrates a cost-effective approach to preparing residential building floor plans at the initial design stage by leveraging AI capabilities and eliminating time-consuming manual procedures. Powered by ChatGPT API, the technology demonstration assists in generating and modifying initial architectural design concepts for residential buildings based on specified requirements.
  • Value: Speeding up the architectural design process and reducing delays and costs.
  • Digital Construction Technology: ChatGPT (AI).

Construction Coordination Issue Tracker

Best for: Collaboration.

  • Business challenge: The traditional construction process involves multiple stakeholders, which can lead to delays, misunderstandings, and errors due to inefficient information handoffs.
  • Construction Coordination Issue Tracker showcases an approach to reducing the communication lag between design and construction. The integration can help streamline the team collaboration workflow and ensure seamless user experience, which leads to better quality deliverables and substantial time and cost savings.
  • Value: Enhancing team collaboration, streamlining workflows, reducing delays and costs, improving deliverable quality, and enabling efficient issue management within Autodesk Revit.
  • Digital Construction Technology: BIM and Digital Twin.
