AI construction management platform Buildots is being used on an 800,000 sq ft student housing project for the University of Tennessee
Juneau Construction Company is using Buildots’ AI technology to build the Hub Knoxville project, three buildings that will provide off-campus housing for nearly 2,000 students.
Designed by Dwell Design Studio and developed by Core Spaces, the complex will include nearly 600 units, and residents will enjoy 20,000 sq ft of rooftop amenity space and almost 23,000 sq ft of interior amenity space including a fitness center, pool, and study lounges.
Data captured by 360-degree cameras
Using the Buildots platform, data captured by 360-degree cameras at the site is analyzed using proprietary AI algorithms. The Juneau team then receives accurate, detailed, progress reports and forecasts that enable them to anticipate and mitigate potential delays, improve schedule adherence and overall project efficiency.
Hub Knoxville is the latest student housing project for Juneau, which was recently ranked second on Building Design + Construction’s Top 40 Student Housing Construction Firms. Juneau is also a Top 50 Southeast regional contractor, among the premier builders of student housing, multifamily, and commercial buildings throughout the region and beyond.
“Juneau is constantly looking to improve quality and efficiency to increase the value we bring to our clients. With Buildots, we are able to have exceptional control and visibility when it comes to large and complex projects like Hub Knoxville,” said Greg Cornwell, Juneau’s VP of operations.
Improve quality control and avoid delays
“We have already seen how it’s helping have better insights into the execution of the work in the field, ultimately allowing us to improve quality control and avoid delays, ensuring that UTK students will enjoy a truly exceptional new housing option.”
Buildots technology is already slated to be used on another major Juneau project, the 299-unit, 33-story tall One Park Tower luxury condominium tower in North Miami.
Aviv Leibovici, Buildots co-founder and CPO, said: “We’re proud to partner with Juneau Construction and pleased to see how their use of Buildots and our Performance Driven Construction Management (PDCM) method has been able to minimise project delays and increase efficiency at Hub Knoxville.
“We look forward to continuing to work with them to ensure that highly accurate, data-driven insights guide major construction projects across the Southeast.”
