In the first article of this three-part contributor series, we talked about how problem projects present a tremendous opportunity, and some of the startups tackling the “hard problem” of scheduling. In this article, we’ll shift focus to the second of three recently reported categories of construction tech that can help prevent problem projects: 3D modeling tools.
Note to reader: For the purposes of this article, we are broadening the category of “3D modeling tools” to include preconstruction planning tools as well.

Scheduling and 3D modeling solutions generally presume there’s a “right way” to build something, but there never is. In other words, project teams spend weeks or months developing a contractual baseline schedule or a 3D model, only to have that schedule or model deviate from the original plan (i.e., the “set of instructions” for how best to put it together).
But the underlying truth is there’s not always one right way to…
