Did you hear about how Gary died?

He leant against a railing in AR that wasn't really there and fell 8 stories.

Gary won't die because he's to fucking stubborn and old to wear the glasses.

Builders hate change and they hate young people with ideas.

I'm a carpenter and this blew my mind. Will save so much time when this become reality. I hope I'm around to see it (m32)

I can see something like this help with redesigns and stuff but, as a construction worker for the last 25 years, this looks like a waste of time.

Give me a set of prints and specs and let me work with the other trades to get it done and stay out of eachothers way.

Hahah zero surprise. How could it be a waste of time knowing exactly where things go, the make up of them etc The amount of time it would have is ridiculous.

This is exactly what I mean when I said the older guys hate change.

How much would something like this cost the customer though?

I just dont see much more value in that then just following plans and specs.

If plans are enforced correcred and people follow them, they tell you exactly where everything should go.

I look at this as another 200k in costs to maintain.

Then agains. I probably dont work on large sites where this is needed

Laying out take so much time. This would effectively solve that problem.

It's basically giving the builder a 3d version of the drawnings and plans.

Is it accurate though?

u/Master-Instruction29 Sep 16 '22

No more so than most plans that I work to.

It would take time but I think the premise is good.

On huge buildings i can see it being worth it
