Virtual Reality to the Rescue!





The Jade Signature team continues to push the edge of technology with Autodesk Live and immersive Virtual Reality.  The project is the first in the company to use VIVE immersive Virtual Reality as a tool to communicate complex construction stage issues to owners and stakeholders.  Suffolk Senior Project Manager Lance Dengerud reflected on the experience as “We received a tepid reaction when first exploring the idea; however, this reception quickly changed to excitement after we demonstrated how complex project issues can be quickly evaluated and resolved with the aid of Augmented and Virtual Reality.  The VR environment created by Autodesk Live sources the exact Revit files the project Architect uses to create the contract documents, hence an owner or stakeholder can be placed into a data rich environment to make relevant informed decisions with confidence.  This technology is truly an evolutionary step forward in bettering the workflow between Owners, Architects and Construction Managers.

 

The project executive leadership continues to leverage new technologies to keep the complex Jade Signature project on schedule and within budget.
