MENTION
“To know more about the impact and the applications of automation and robotics in construction, we at RoboticsBiz connected with Raffi Holzer – co-founder, and CEO of Avvir, a software platform company based in NYC, reshaping the way project owners and contractors manage construction progress. Avvir employs computer vision and deep learning to provide automated construction verification and progress monitoring.”

MENTION
“Construction projects include complex processes that depend on strict organization and seamless collaboration. And yet, there are very few ways for managers to track all the data necessary for a successful project in one comprehensive system. Costs, material inventory, schedules, specs, crew manifest—there are a lot of moving parts involved, and without a centralized hub to navigate it all, mistakes can be made. But Raffi Holzer provides a solution with his company, Avvir, which offers a sophisticated process for assembling and analyzing construction data for better efficiency, safety, and accuracy.”

FEATURE
MENTION
“Construction sites have mostly looked the same for the last century or so, that's started to shift in a really rapid way. Part of that is about making sure that technology is an integral part of the process. Raffi Holzer and his company Avvir build digital twins that start at the construction level to make the most accurate digital model possible. In this video he shares what this means for construction and how they do it.”

FEATURE
MENTION
“Founded in 2017 by Raffi Holzer and Tira Odhner, Avvir asserts that its platform can locate problem areas within one-eighth inch of accuracy. The software compares Building Information Modeling (BIM), essentially a high-tech version of traditional blueprints, with laser scans to flag any discrepancies.”
