Across the street from the new California Pacific Medical Center Hospital in San Francisco, engineers sit in a control room looking at a 3D version of the unfinished hospital to head off potential trouble in the project, according to an article in the ABC7 News projects.
The 3D software allows the team to search for potential conflicts in the construction that arise almost constantly, the article said.
"The team we just saw inside is reviewing and identifying over a thousand issues a week," according to a project engineer.
Contractors brief each other daily with projections of when they'll finish a detail of the project. The software tracks the changes and plans can change on the fly.
