Course overview
Introduction
Construction sites are being transformed by digital technologies. Drones capture progress and survey data in minutes, laser scanners create accurate point clouds of existing structures, mobile apps replace paper forms and sensors monitor equipment, materials and conditions in real time. Used well, these tools improve productivity, quality, safety and decision making.
This Digital Construction training course provides a practical overview of the main site technologies and how to deploy them successfully. Participants learn about drone surveys and inspections, laser scanning and reality capture, integration with building information models, site management and inspection apps, sensors and connected equipment, and data management and security.
The course focuses on selecting the right technology for real needs, building a business case and managing implementation and change.
Course Objectives
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Explain how digital technologies are changing construction sites
- Describe drone applications for survey, progress and inspection
- Understand laser scanning and reality capture workflows
- Integrate reality capture with building information models
- Use mobile site management, quality and safety applications
- Apply sensors and connected equipment for site monitoring
- Manage construction data, security and interoperability
- Build a business case and implementation plan for site technology
Target Audience
This training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals, including:
- Construction and project managers
