Eyal Ofer’s new Columbus Circle Building at 1841 Broadway has become first project in New York City, US, to use the AI construction platform Buildots.

After site data is captured via helmet-mounted 360-degree cameras and is automatically analysed using proprietary AI algorithms, Buildots provides the project management team with true-to-life progress reports supported by visuals. This is said to lead to improved efficiency in terms of costs, labour and time.

The 26-story, 298-ft.-tall building will include nearly 197,000 sq. ft. of residential space encompassing 123 housing units, as well as over 20,000 sq. ft. of commercial retail space. Its developer is Global Holdings Management Group.

New York project utilises ‘revolutionary’ AI technology

Construction needed to continuously see through walls and up buildings. It needed data that was intelligent, predictive, conclusive, and connected. Advanced AI and integrations that eliminate errors, delays and extremely expensive mistakes. It needed technology that could bring peace of mind to everyone involved.

And so Buildots was born.

In only three years, we went from three passionate co-founders to over 200 employees spanning two continents, connecting everyone through the same vision: Connection makes everything better, everyone stronger and pushes the industry forward.

Introduction
Target Value Design (TVD), the process of designing towards a budget without sacrificing quality or extending schedules, is increasingly popular with owners. TVD works when everyone involved in a project is part of the process. It requires true collaboration, transparency, rapid estimating, and rapid decision-making.

Atrium Health, a non-profit health organization based in Charlotte, North Carolina, employed TVD to build a new rehabilitation hospital and acute care bed tower at the Atrium Carolinas Medical Center (CMC) campus. Atrium awarded the $650M project to DPR Rodgers (a joint venture between DPR Construction and Rodgers Builders), NBBJ, and WSP. To manage the projects, Stantec was selected to augment Atrium’s in-house staff.

Preconstruction planning for the two projects was handled separately. The team tackled the $100M rehab hospital first. From March to December 2020, approximately 30 people from multiple cluster groups collaborated towards the goal. They used their existing tools to track their project costs, budget, and timelines as they had done with other projects in the past.

“Tracking decisions for the rehabilitation hospital quickly became chaotic,” said Melanie Moreschi, Preconstruction Manager for DPR Rodgers. “Due to having so many users in the same tracking log, it was too easy for files to be overwritten, causing new items to be lost or even to have two copies of the same file running simultaneously. Furthermore, it was challenging to track items affecting multiple building systems such as structure, skin, mechanical and electrical into separate project clusters.”

DPR Rodgers had to ensure that the TVD process was smoother for the CMC bed tower project. They had to find an alternative — and fast.

The Paradise Street Project, more commonly known as Liverpool ONE, was a 250,000 sqm regeneration project in Liverpool City Centre. Managed by Grosvenor Europe, the development is comprised of: over 200 shops, more than 500 apartments, three hotels, 25 restaurants, a 14-screen Odeon cinema, three office buildings, a Green Flag awarded five-acre public park, 2,000 car parking spaces and a public transport interchange.

Regarded by many as the most successful regeneration project of the modern era in the UK, Liverpool ONE was initially sold as providing “world-class shopping, leisure and living at the heart of a world-class city”. The site of the £920 million project covered six districts in the city center, including Hanover Street, Peter’s Lane, New Manesty’s Lane, Paradise Street and South John Street.

The development of Liverpool ONE was considerate of the city’s history, integrating historical architecture with modern buildings. As such, it is an internationally recognized model for other cities that want to deliver sympathetic regeneration projects. It is widely credited with reviving the wider city-region and fueling growth in business tourism.

These awards were designed in collaboration with local Bay Area students and Corral for the 20th Anniversary IIDA Honor Awards using wood reclaimed by Urban Machine's robot.

Awards Made from Reclaimed Wood

We are on a mission to reclaim the millions of tons of wood waste from construction and demolition by reclaiming it into high volume, locally sourced, premium lumber products.

By using AI, The Machine removes staples and nails from reclaimed wood to turn it into premium lumber products. This lowers the carbon footprint and solves the problem of wood waste.

We reclaim & co-create locally sourced premium lumber products, creating a circular economy. In doing this, we preserve secular forests, reduce logistical costs, and allow for the health benefits of wood in our environments to be reaped.

SoFi Stadium is a state-of-the-art sports and entertainment destination in Inglewood, CA. It opened in September 2020 and is, with 3.1 million square feet, the largest and the first "indoor-outdoor" stadium in the NFL. It is also the home of the Los Angeles Chargers and the Los Angeles Rams who will host Super Bowl LVI against the Cincinnati Bengals on February 13, 2022.

Inspired by Los Angeles Rams Chairman E. Stanley Kroenke’s vision for an iconic piece of architecture and entertainment destination, the international architecture firm HKS designed the centerpiece of a 298-acre mixed-use development with retail, commercial office space, a hotel, residential units, and outdoor park spaces. The complex features a 70,000-seat stadium, a 2.5-acre plaza and a 6,000-seat performance venue situated together beneath a canopy of more than 3,000 translucent ETFE panels and 34,000+ perforated anodized aluminum panels. What’s remarkable is that each of these panels is unique, creating a pattern with curving geometry in a way that no two panels are the same.

Concert is built to support the digital integration of design and construction; we believe it is the future of building processes worldwide. But core to our platform is the understanding that intellectual property is valuable for its creators and creating permanent records of that work along with a record of how it is shared, what it is authorized to be used for, and who has the authority to use it are core to creating long-term value.



At SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA Concert technology was used to professionally certify and authenticate over 34,000 digital files used for fabricating the anodized aluminum panels for the roof canopy.

Digitally sign and stamp one or hundreds of data files with a few button clicks. Concert accommodates one or multiple signatories securely and permanently with simple tools to verify authenticity of the data anytime, anywhere.

For this themed corporate conference room Concert played an instrumental role in authenticating and versioning the digital files exchanged between the architect and the metal framing fabricator.

Trammell Crow Company (TCC), founded in 1948, is a global commercial real estate developer having developed or acquired nearly 2,900 buildings valued at $75 billion and over 655 million square feet

Giraffe was rolled out to all of TCC’s offices in the U.S. Having Giraffe accessible to TCC’s development team will save weeks of work across hundreds of projects a year.

Trammell Crow Company (TCC), a global real estate developer, engaged Giraffe to save their development teams valuable time when assessing dozens of sites for potential development.
‍
“We were in need of a tool set that gave our team an edge when exploring new development opportunities, especially since we would often review dozens of sites at a time to find the best option. By implementing Giraffe, our team was able to move at a faster speed when analyzing opportunities – our ability to assess a site went from weeks to hours with virtually no consultant involvement. Having this time back is incredibly valuable to our team and our business.” – Andrew Wallace, Senior Development Manager, TCC

After a six-month pilot program, Giraffe was rolled out to all of TCC’s offices in the U.S. The system is used to save TCC’s team valuable time and as a powerful communication device, bringing visual clarity to the firm’s pursuit process and stopping ideas from getting lost in
translation.

While Giraffe has unlocked significant success at TCC, this could only have been made possible by TCC’s appetite for continuous innovation. Having Giraffe accessible to TCC’s development team will save weeks of work across hundreds of projects a year, which translates into several years worth of development time in a single year.
