From prefabrication to predictive visual-data analytics. From RFID tagging to the use of drones and rovers on job site. Turner Construction has been at the forefront of smart job site movement. And the construction giant is just getting started.
Through these measures and others, like Lean management and advanced BIM/VDC coordination, Turner has set an ambitious goal to transform the complex and messy process of commercial construction into a predictable—and therefore improvable—industrial process.
In this 15-minute talk at BD+C’s Accelerate Live! conference (May 11, 2017, Chicago), Tyler Goss, Turner’s Global Innovation Development Manager, presents the company’s “job site as a factory” initiative.
