Boston-based Windover Construction is pioneering a method combining 3D modeling with prefabrication and augmented reality to speed up truss production and installation. On a $32 million project in Massachusetts, the company used data from 3D modeling of an existing building to design and manufacture 935 trusses made from cold-formed steel and delivered them to the jobsite within three days, according to Amr Raafat, Windover’s vice president of VDC and technology. Workers used augmented reality goggles to assemble the trusses onsite and installed them in the building in three days, saving an estimated $90,000, Raafat said.
