This document discusses how technology and visual management can help prevent rework in construction projects. It notes that design quality and schedules are being compressed, creating challenges. Technology can help combat these by enabling effective communication, collaboration, early decision making, and a proactive approach. Specific tools mentioned include BIM models, shop drawings, tablet computers, and paperless collaboration software. Metrics showed outcomes like reduced rework, waste, and time/cost when using these methods, as seen on projects like the US Bank Stadium. The presenter concludes by sharing his contact information for any additional questions.

Contractor’s Day Session : Avoiding Problems Through Sound Prevention Methods
Using Technology and Visual
Management to Prevent Rework The Big Why ? Why ?
What Problem Are We Trying to Solve
Design Quality has been Early Problem Detection /
Declining Resolution Schedules / Budgets are Fast Cycle / Collaborative Decision Compressed Process Why ? How does Technology combat these challenges? CHARATERISTICS OUTCOMES EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION OF REDUCED REWORK PROJECT TEAM REDUCED WASTE COLLABORATIVE / ENVIRONMENT HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY OF TRUST HIGHER QUALITY EARLY DECISION MAKING ZERO INJURIES PROACTIVE vs REACTIVE REDUCTION IN TIME APPROACH REDUCTION IN COST HIGH PREFABRICATION / SUPPLY CHAIN OPTIMIZATION MODULARIZATION PROJECT TEAM HAD A GREAT EFFECTIVE SUPPLY CHAIN EXPERIENCE VIRTUAL PROTOTYPING / MOST IMPORTANTLY DELIGHTED SIMULATIONS CUSTOMER The Process Process – Assembly Instructions
