The reality gap: Why the distance between plan and build is still construction’s biggest problem

Construction is a game of millimetres played on a field of miles. Despite decades of progress, the gap between office and field remains one of the industry’s most persistent and costly problems – eroding trust, inflating budgets, and leaving project managers making critical decisions on data that’s already out of date.

Join us to discover how to bridge this gap. This session introduces the Sandwich Theory of construction management: a new framework for understanding how location acts as the connective tissue that binds every data set – from 2D drawings to 3D point clouds – into a single, irrefutable picture of your project as it truly is.

We’ll explore how putting simple capture tools in the hands of field teams doesn’t just improve documentation; it lays the foundation for agentic AI that reads site reality, closes the loop on schedule and budget, and frees your teams to build with certainty. The gap between plan and build is closable. This session shows you how.
