10 of the Worst Construction Blunders
…and How You Can Avoid Them
Hundreds of AEC professionals are already helping reduce the $450-billion lost annually in construction re-work, schedule delays, and downstream problems. Are you one of them?
We all know that mistakes inevitably happen in construction projects, but the real measure of success is catching the errors early so they can be solved quickly — and cost-effectively.
This report examines 10 of the worst construction blunders that our five laser scanning and BIM experts have encountered in the last 18 months — from a misshapen rocket launchpad that could have cost hundreds of millions to fix, to a building constructed outside its property lines.
Our panel of AEC experts shares highly insightful tips and best practices that allowed them to solve multi-million-dollar mistakes and get projects back on schedule. You’ll find real “war stories” with great lessons learned – you don’t want to miss this presentation.
Highlights include:
- A project with 70% of steel out of tolerance and a missing column! A mistake that terribly hurt the reputation of the subcontractor.
- How laser scanning saved close to $500,000 of unnecessary rework in a $700 million project.
Why you should trust your tools, test your assumptions, and take the time to fully understand existing structures and conditions. - A 6-month delay that was caused by failing to 3D laser scan before designing.
- And much more!
