Explore the concept of the connected jobsite, emphasizing how digital twin technology is being utilized to combat variance and waste in construction projects. Attendees will discover how creating virtual replicas of jobsites allows for real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and enhanced decision-making, thereby reducing inefficiencies and improving project outcomes. The discussion will include practical examples of how digital twins can streamline workflows, facilitate better communication among stakeholders, and drive sustainability by minimizing waste. Participants will gain valuable insights into implementing these innovative solutions to create more connected, efficient, and waste-conscious construction environments.
As a regional leader and national collaborator at McCarthy, Alex is responsible for the overall strategy, implementation, and execution of the virtual design and construction (VDC) lifecycle process between all project stakeholders. From corporate office to construction site, the VDC Team promotes, trains and guides project teams through BIM-enabled uses and workflows over the course of a building’s project lifecycle.
Alex’s passion and drive for construction technology is to push the industry to leverage best-in-class solutions focused on effective project delivery and lean principles for value-added outcomes.
