During GeoWeek 2024 in Denver, Matthew Byrd sat down to speak with David Epps of Envision Construction to discuss the evolving role of technology in the construction industry and how choosing the right technology for a project’s accuracy needs can enhance construction workflows and reduce inefficiencies.
In this conversation, Matthew and David delve into the transformative impact of advanced technology on the construction industry. David shares an in-depth look at how the practical applications of innovative tools like drones, LIDAR, and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) are reshaping construction practices.
David shares his insights on the importance of choosing the right tool for each task, taking factors such as realistic accuracy needs into account. He talks about the efficiency of SLAM for daily progress reports and the synergy between drones and LIDAR in construction planning. The conversation extends to the potential of augmented reality in offering real-time feedback on-site, and David’s excitement about the convergence of various tech innovations in construction.
