The document discusses several technologies used in construction. It describes how laser levels can be used for both indoor and outdoor construction tasks to ensure accurate alignment and leveling. It also discusses BIM augmented reality apps that allow viewing of construction site models on mobile devices, and Aconex mobile apps that help with organization, communication, and inspections at construction sites. Additionally, it summarizes the GlobalTracs equipment management solution, which collects machine usage and location data to help optimize equipment use.
2. LASER LEVEL
• Lasers can be used in a variety of
jobs where layout is performed
and an accurate, level reference
is needed. Jobs such as,
installing ceiling tiles, installing
chair railings in a dining room,
installing receptacles for power
within a home under construction.
Some tasks are small, such as
hanging pictures in a level
fashion across a living room wall.
Some tasks are large, such as
installing sewer pipe or handling
a site grading plan for a new
building.
3. INDOOR USES
OUTDOOR USES
• Align and plumb your walls
• Leveling floors
• Attach your laser to a wall or ceiling mount
for easy drop ceiling installation
• Easily check door or window heights
• Installing drop ceilings
• Install chair rails and wainscoting in your
home
• Align shelves, cabinets and trim
• Use a tripod for easy installation and
alignment of cabinets, chair rails, etc
• Any type of basic surveys
• Lasers easily check and level posts and
beams on decks, fences and porches
• Masonry alignment
• Site layout
• Easily check land elevations
• Lasers with a slope capability can set grade
for proper drainage and irrigation
• Align fences, posts and decks
• Establishing grades
• Contour farming or drainage

6. BIM AUGMENTED
REALITY APP
• SET TO LAUNCH MAY
28-29
•EASY ACCESSIBLE TO
BIM (TABLETS/SMART
PHONE)
• HELPS VISUALIZE
CONSTRUCTION SITES
• GIVES CLIENTS AN
IDEA OF HOW HOMES
ARE BUILT
7. BIM AUGMENTED REALITY APP
• Provides construction sites to
foresee and fix problems
• Saves home blueprints and can
carry to jobsites
• Maintain data and
measurements
• Saves time and money with the
use of BIM
8. ACONEX MOBILE APPS
• Aconex is widely used in Modern Construction
as a tool to improve financial returns, reduce
project risk, and improve communication
between all branches of the company.
• Because of the many purposes that Aconex
serves on the job site there are two different
mobile apps that we have implemented into our
company.
9. ACONEX MOBILE
• Aconex Mobile is the primary Aconex App and it
covers many of the organizational requirements
required on a day-to-day basis on a job site.
• This app lets you access project documents and
mail both online and offline as well as assist in
managing team members and project tasks.
10. ACONEX FIELD
• Aconex field is more specialized toward building inspections.
• Aconex Field has allowed us to speed up the time it takes to
complete building inspections considerably with its live video
and image sharing system that allows inspectors to explore
project locations and capture issues fast.
• Once captured Aconex field allows us to keep Subcontractors
up-to-date on issues they’re responsible for and the relative
urgency of each issue.
