Construction technology, a first step for digitalization

In recent years it has been usual to listen and read news about new startups that are born to change the world and the lives of people. Normally these companies usually have a technological basis and innovation is the maximum of their work. Although there are startups aimed at all types of sectors, the usual thing is that the most sounded are from the commerce, logistics and sales sector. However, a Spanish startup is revolutionizing the construction sector with its technological innovation in obtaining data for the precision of structures. One more case that digitalization does not understand sectors.

Technological innovation for obtaining data in the works

The case of success that we tell you today is that of the Spanish startup Checktobuild, an idea that emerged in 2019. His CEO was clear that he wanted to undertake and had a project in the head where he wanted to use the technology offered by drones. Finally, it occurred to him that with the help of small unmanned aerial vehicles, he could make images of the works, buildings and structures to obtain a 3D design and analyze it to obtain data on the accuracy of its construction.

The design of a software to compare the images made with the drones was the culmination of Checktobuild. Customers of this technology have the opportunity to obtain in just two hours all the information about the work and the possible deviations that could have arisen during construction. The advantage of this technological innovation is that the client can make decisions with a precision of one centimeter and that unlike traditional methods, all this information is obtained by 75% faster than with traditional methods.

What if this technological innovation did not exist?

The advantages offered by this technological innovation for the construction sector are many. But what would happen in the event that this startup had not created the software to digitize the process of obtaining data? In this case, the idea would continue to be an innovation for the sector, since the use of drones to obtain images and make a 3D design to study is something new . But the traditional method for the verification that everything is going well would continue to be used.

Therefore, again, technology demonstrates that it is a breakthrough and a great help to automate processes, reduce times and costs. In addition, in the case of the construction sector it goes further and provides security in the precision of the data obtained, allowing rectifying the structures of buildings, houses, stadiums and all kinds of constructions.
