Reuse Construction Information with Video of Prototypes

Your Job
You are installing 46 new internet enabled energy meters. Three trades are involved: Electrical, plumbing and low voltage. To stick to the schedule, you have all three working at once on different sets of meters, but the installations are out of sequence and mistakes are being made.

Your Job on Video
You create a reference video of one complete construction sequence so that any of the three contractors can approach a meter during any point in the sequence and complete their scope of work correctly.

Enable Information Re-use with Video of Construction Prototypes and Trainings

Don’t reinvent the wheel with each job. Video of construction processes is a training resource that makes it easy to re-use information within and across projects.

As-built progression sequences become part of the knowledge base for future projects or repeat aspects of the same project. Construction video on demand remains on the server and is not dispersed along with team members at project handover.

For training, video of construction prototypes can transcend language barriers and replace written instructions. It can take the place of long, technical explanations for complex construction processes, giving your workers clearer instructions faster.

For information re-use, you should videotape:

Construction of prototypes
Installations by experts
On-site construction safety trainings
Operational trainings by manufacturer’s reps

Footage of trainings and prototype construction can be edited and re-purposed for more formal training videos and also for Safety & Health and O&M documentation.
