This will improve construction quality and create a clean site, leading to further improvements in customer satisfaction.
Background of introduction
In the construction industry, problems such as a labor shortage of engineers and craftsmen and delays in work style reform are becoming increasingly serious. Under these circumstances, in order to improve the working environment and improve construction quality through appropriate site management, we are promoting digital transformation (DX) and using digital technology to “create the site with everyone’s eyes”. We aim to achieve this goal.
“High-quality construction” and “clean site” created with everyone’s eyes “Log System” is a 360 degree camera “RICOH” provided by Ricoh Co., Ltd. Using THETA, you can record and store construction sites in VR space. This allows not only the on-site supervisor but also the entire company, including on-site inspection supervisors, inspectors, designers, and interior coordinators, to check on-site quality and safety management. A system in which everyone can watch the site with everyone’s eyes achieves “high-quality construction” and a “clean site.”
Internal confirmation while viewing VR space recording
Improving customer satisfaction with “Log System”
We report on-site status to the client every week through a 360-degree VR space. Clients can check the progress of the site through images from the comfort of their homes, eliminating the traditional opacity of site management. In fact, we started trial implementation in January 2024, and since February of the same year, customer
satisfaction with the site has significantly improved.
Owner’s voice
We have received very positive feedback from our customers regarding site management using the Log System.
・Tochigi Prefecture I
“We weren’t able to check the site every week, so we were grateful to be able to check our surroundings with the 360-degree camera. Also, unlike regular photos, I was able to see the whole thing in three dimensions, so I thought it was great that I could see it from a wide range of perspectives. ”
・Mr. O, Tochigi Prefecture
“Progress reports using a 360° camera could be checked at any time or place, which was very helpful when I was busy and found it difficult to visit the site.Also, since I was able to receive a report once a week, I was able to check the structure of the house and the walls. I could see how the interior was being completed little by little, which made me more excited about the new building and gave me a sense of security.
I also liked that you could spin it around, which gave it a more realistic feel than regular photos, and it was easier to imagine. ” Hokushu Housing Official Homepage
