GIRI Research Report: The use of technology to reduce errors in design and construction, a best practice casebook

The 2024 GIRI Technology Report shows how the construction and technology sectors are innovating together to improve productivity, quality, safety and sustainability.

The report features multi-million pound construction projects including HS2’s Colne Valley viaduct, San Francisco international airport and London’s Western Yard’s development. Technology innovations include:

  • Virtual and augmented reality to improve project design and planning and team training 
  • Internet of Things sensors to optimise concrete pouring
  • Digital Twin technology to monitor and assure the replacement of combustible cladding panels.

This report builds on GIRI’s previous research, which identified 17 root causes of error in construction and the technology solutions to address them. The 2024 GIRI Technology Report brings together best practice case studies that show how technology solutions are being used on construction projects to reduce error and improve productivity.

GIRI’s Technology Working Group brings together technology providers and industry leaders who understand the practical challenges faced in construction to share, test and learn from technology solutions.
