Integrating cutting-edge technology is a key part of Concord’s strategy, enhancing efficiency, fostering collaboration and proactively mitigating risks. Through platforms like Ingenious.Build, a project management software that enhances collaboration and transparency, Concord ensures all project stakeholders are aligned. The software facilitates real-time sharing of project information, driving efficiency and reducing the risk of delays or miscommunication.

Concord also incorporates DroneDeploy, an AI-powered platform that allows project teams to capture and organize site photos, compare site conditions to BIM models and generate comprehensive reports. The innovative use of drone technology ensures projects are monitored in real time, making it easier to identify potential risks and address them before they escalate.

In the same vein, Concord employs Schedule Validator, a robust analytics tool that assesses schedule quality and identifies hidden risks, further optimizing project timelines. These tools, combined with a collaborative approach, enable Concord to deliver successful outcomes for clients, consistently driving efficiency and mitigating risk across the entire project lifecycle.

Sustainability is another critical pillar of Concord’s philosophy. With an in-house team of LEED-accredited professionals, it provides expert guidance on sustainable alternatives, focusing on the balance between construction costs and life-cycle costs. Its sustainability services include assisting clients in developing decarbonization strategies, exploring financial incentives and navigating carbon offsetting opportunities, ensuring every project meets today’s standards and is prepared for future challenges.

Its commitment to sustainability extends beyond simply meeting green building standards, as it evaluates the resilience and overall performance of buildings to ensure they contribute to a greener future.
