CONTAKT Digital Planning, Monitoring & Documentation

When it comes to planning and the collaboration of all the many participants involved in a construction project, digital tools can significantly improve productivity and cost savings. It's not primarily about working faster – these tools facilitate coordination and successful planning to decrease cycle times. Constant access to all the relevant planning information and the ongoing analysis of construction site data in real-time simplifies existing processes.

The sensor-based software solution integrated with CONTAKT provides direct support during on-site execution. Therefore, foremen and site supervisors can plan, allocate, and compare materials, resources, and personnel at the cycle level and gain valuable insights. All processes on the construction site are monitored in real-time and automatically documented.

Concretemote technology can be used on ceiling forms to measure the early strength of concrete.DokaAs soon as the planning data based on a BIM model has been uploaded to CONTAKT, it is possible to work with the comprehensive digital management tool. The cycle planning is carried out completely digitally and directly in the building model with CONTAKT instead of a 2D plan. The work packages generated from this can be quickly assigned to the construction site team regardless of location and ensure a structured workflow. In addition, the sensor technology—attached to the formwork—delivers live and automatic information such as crane lifts per composite, position, or concrete maturity to the dashboard. In this way, all progress can be recorded on the cycle and directly in the building model, which opens up a completely new and transparent approach to construction progress measurement. Deviations can be reacted to quickly, and the completion of the project can be kept on schedule.

Since CONTAKT is also easy to use with tablets and smartphones, photos of the construction site can be uploaded in the app and automatically assigned in the building model at the cycle. The individual process steps can thus be documented pictorially and tracked in detail.

Concremote technology for measuring and optimizing concrete performance is fully integrated. Simply measuring the early strength of the concrete in the ten ceiling components of this project resulted in a 25% saving in ceiling formwork, with a compressive strength of 29.6 MPa achieved just 25 hours after pouring.
