Harnessing the power of the Atom, construction teams can now view and position 3D BIM models on-site to 5mm accuracy, validate in real-time and make immediate decisions in the field during all phases of construction. This cutting-edge tool makes the entire construction journey safer and more efficient, reducing waste, de-risking processes, and allowing construction teams to build it right, first time.
