GCC and Buildots: when AI improves construction site management

Together, they have already collaborated on four projects: one industrial, two residential and a hospital, covering more than 70.000 unique elements that have been analyzed using artificial intelligence.

By choosing Buildots to support them, GCC is demonstrating the importance of developing practices towards construction management that is more focused on performance and on concrete and useful information.

Risk reduction and proactive management

The adoption of Buildots’ advanced AI-based analytics technology has enabled the accurate identification of delay risks and deviations from the BIM model. Through early detection of issues and delays before they occur, Buildots’ predictive analytics enables GCC teams to proactively address potential issues on-site, minimizing the impact on the schedule while supporting on-time project completion.

In a dynamic environment with many moving and complex parts, the use of this modern technology not only offers a significant improvement over traditional working methods, but it also improves the quality and accuracy of the projects delivered.

For Philippe Ghattas, France Director at Buildots: “We are delighted to partner with GCC, one of the largest construction companies in France, who recognise the transformative impact that technology can have on optimising operations. Their confidence in our solution underlines the essential shift towards performance-driven construction management, setting new standards for the industry.”

Improved productivity and operational savings

With automated progress tracking and an objective view of the status of ongoing activities, GCC teams leverage comprehensive data sets to effectively manage ongoing activities onsite and meet schedule to improve efficiency and reduce the number of inspection visits. This allows GCC teams to focus on critical tasks, significantly increasing productivity and reducing operational costs.

Optimization of time and constructive collaboration with craftsmen

Buildots optimizes workflow by providing teams with instant access to accurate data on the progress of work. This allows GCC teams to save time, reduce potential errors due to guesswork and therefore better control costs.

By adopting this new technology and performance-driven approach to construction management, GCC teams see the status of subcontracted activities, enabling improved collaboration with trades and constructively aligning schedules based on pace analysis.

For Pascal Bigard, DSI and CIO at GCC Construction: "It's a real time saver for monitoring. The Buildots solution makes it possible to base site monitoring on concrete facts and to optimize relationships with customers and subcontractors. Very fast, the frequency of checks can be increased, which makes it possible to involve a subcontractor to correct a non-conformity before it leaves the site."

For William Mignault, Business Solutions Manager at GCC: « Buildots allows you to prepare situation meetings 5 ​​times faster than with current methods »

Buildots technology enables GCC teams to proactively manage customer expectations by ensuring a higher level of transparency and trust. Its use creates an environment conducive to ensuring good communication between all stakeholders on a construction site, and thus enabling collaborative planning of mitigation strategies.
