Study
Such a striking increase in efficiency and productivity is rarely seen in construction, and it has a huge positive knock-on effect. Freeing up workers allows for increased flexibility and acceleration in other areas onsite, and the speed and accuracy at which the layout process took place meant that the installation phase could begin sooner, increasing project momentum significantly.
A new standard for laying out
The collaboration between Interstates and XYZ has laid down a new benchmark for laying out, boosting productivity, efficiency and accuracy. The time spent laying out was radically reduced through the instant onsite access to the design models, allowing the project team to complete 956 Unistrut markups in 15 days, an entire 20 days faster than the traditional method. The Interstates team was able to work more efficiently and complete Unistrut installation in almost half the estimated time. As a direct result, they freed up workers and resources to complete other tasks ahead of schedule. The power of this game-changing approach is clear. Efficiency and speed are increased by 500 percent compared to traditional methods, while also eliminating costly rework. This is invaluable in fostering a positive culture on the construction site. Laying out is one of the first tasks on any project, so getting it right the first time sets the tone for the entire project. By eliminating the need for rework, teams build trust and momentum from the outset, ensuring smoother collaboration and helping deliver projects on time. Interstates is leading the way by harnessing the power of accurate and efficient laying out. ■
