ConTech Series: Virtual Reality – How is VR Increasing Efficiency and Profit Margins in the Construction Industry?

Virtual Reality (VR) is one new technology that is changing the construction industry by solving old problems. In this webinar we will be exploring the benefits of VR in construction including how it can be used to increase efficiency and increase the speed of scaling up, streamlining collaboration, and improving the client experience as clients can walk into a VR model and see for themselves what their project will look like when it’s complete – empowering clients to make smart decisions, and improving the contractor’s ability to set and meet expectations
