Construction Surveying: How Reality Capture Helps
A survey crew sets up a total station at 6 AM to re-shoot control points on a five-story building. A column on the third floor landed four inches off the grid line the drawings called for. Now the general contractor needs an answer before the concrete crew arrives. As per NIST’s interoperability cost study, poor […]
What Good Electrical Rough-In Progress Monitoring Looks Like
An inspector arrives for a scheduled electrical rough-in inspection. Nobody has actually run the wiring behind one wall yet. The general contractor called for the inspection based on the schedule, not a confirmed check of the work. The inspection fails, and drywall waits another week. NIST studied poor data handoff and coordination across the U.S. […]
Types of Construction Delays & How to Manage Delays in Construction Projects
A superintendent pulls up the three-week lookahead on a Monday morning. The drywall crew is scheduled for Zone C. But Zone C’s electrical rough-in hasn’t passed inspection yet. The crew shows up anyway, because the schedule said so. By Thursday, the wall comes down. That single week costs more than the original delay ever would […]
The Camera Got 99%. Your Team Gets the Rest.
Self-driven progress categories close the final gap – the milestones only your team can verify, marked on your timeline, owned entirely by you. Track3D already does something most construction platforms can’t. It tracks 200+ progress categories automatically – framing, drywall, MEP rough-in, flooring, and more. The system calculates them from site captures, compares against drawings, and tells you exactly where […]
91.5% of Construction Projects Miss Their Cost or Schedule Target. Here’s the Visibility Problem Behind That Number.
McKinsey tracked 16,000 projects. Only 8.5% hit both. The root cause isn’t bad execution – it’s decisions made without objective field data. A McKinsey analysis of more than 16,000 construction projects found that only 8.5% met both their cost and schedule targets. Of the same portfolio, just 0.5% achieved all their originally promised benefits. These […]
