Expert Statements
Keith Hardy, Senior Superintendent, McGough Construction
“XYZ's technology provides the precision that we need better than what the human eye can identify”
Keith Hardy, Senior Superintendent, McGough Construction
“We're able to be more honest with our schedule. XYZ's dashboard allowed us to really understand at any stage of the project, down to the tenth of a percentage point, how well we are tracking. Not only that, but it allowed our building owner to understand where we were at in real time, and then we're also able to convey that to our trade partners.”
Keith Hardy, Senior Superintendent, McGough Construction
“The time the check took was unnoticeable compared to re-installing conduit that had been embedded wrong”
Keith Hardy, Senior Superintendent, McGough Construction
“Laser scanning after installation is already too late. Catching deviations before concrete and equipment go in allows us to apply lessons learned across every room with that same layout and verify installations at set-out.”
Anthony Canipa, VP of Client Operations, XYZ Reality
“The way we build today can't keep up with the pace these AI factories demand”
Anthony Canipa, VP of Client Operations, XYZ Reality
“Our job at XYZ is to bring predictability to everyone with a stake in the build: the builders, the developers, the hyperscalers and the investors behind them. We give teams the ability to be proactive and prevent the issues that cause massive, costly delays before they ever hit the schedule. What we saw at Polaris Forge 1 was excellent coordination between McGough and Applied Digital, because they were working from shared, trusted, verified and forward-looking information.”
