Visualise

Only 11% of respondents had not experienced claims or disputes on their projects during the construction phase in the last two years, whereas one in five reported experiencing such issues on all their projects — highlighting the importance of adopting effective mitigating strategies at the outset.

Digital technologies are rapidly becoming essential tools in the industry’s arsenal for safeguarding projects and mitigating risks.

Gleeds’ Visualise has been successfully used on numerous projects in Peru, providing vital visual data that enables more accurate project monitoring and control.

“Visualise allows us to bring the construction sites to a wider audience, meaning greater engagement and ownership over project execution.”

Visualise, powered by best-in-class OpenSpace AI technology, generates interactive virtual environments of construction sites, allowing stakeholders to collaborate in real time — enhancing communication, reducing delays and minimising risks.

From managing post-contract changes to precise progress management, Visualise ensures efficient project execution, making it a vital tool to tackle modern construction project that can be fraught with challenges.

Respondents also noted a poor understanding or lack of knowledge of the detail within contracts was the main driver (45%) behind costly claims and disputes occurring on their projects.

This emphasises the importance of recent efforts such as the Memorandum of Understanding between the MEF and NEC making NEC contracts Peru’s preferred contact framework for infrastructure projects.

Further embedding NEC into Peru’s construction industry from training to practice should yield better collaboration and transparency.

Implementing Visualise in tandem offers unimpeded 24-hour access to built site conditions, which vastly improves the ability of project teams to manage progress, identify deviations, and take corrective actions promptly.

Other key benefits of Visualise that reduce the risk of claims and disputes include:

• Increased collaboration reducing miscommunication and in turn avoidable project delays.

• Comprehensive record information allowing for accurate objective assessments, fostering positive working relationships between all stakeholders.

• BIM overlay feature facilitating early issue detection and subsequent resolution of issues before they escalate.
