GRYCON boosts efficiency, accountability, and BIM coordination with Oculo

Overview

GRYCON, a South Florida-based construction firm specializing in high-end renovations, sought a solution to improve project coordination and efficiency. With a growing portfolio of complex projects, the company adopted Oculo to enhance real-time visualization, BIM integration, and historical tracking.

Challenges before Oculo

Before implementing Oculo, GRYCON faced common hurdles in site documentation and project oversight: 

‍

• ‍Coordination issues: Communicating design discrepancies was difficult with static 2D photos, often lacking the surrounding context needed when coordinating with designers
• Accountability gaps: Without time-stamped records, resolving cost disputes was lengthy and inefficient
• ‍Limited historical data: Retrieving accurate project timelines for forensic analysis was time-consuming and unreliable.

‍

These limitations underscored the need for a more visual and verifiable documentation method - one that Oculo was built to solve.

The Oculo solution

75% fewer site walks with virtual coordination

Oculo enables GRYCON to conduct virtual walkthroughs, reducing unnecessary site visits by 75%. Stakeholders can now track progress at their convenience, and virtual meetings help expedite design conflict resolution, eliminating the need for designers to be on-site, saving time and effort.

Cost control & faster dispute resolution

Oculo enables BIM models to be overlaid onto reality, allowing GRYCON to verify penetrations and catch design discrepancies early. In addition, daily site progress tracking provides an irrefutable visual record to resolve disputes efficiently.

This level of documentation strengthens cost controls and ensures project accountability.

Ease of adoption with multi-level scanning and intuitive UI

Oculo’s continuous multi-level scanning eliminates the need to manually start/stop for each floor, making adoption seamless for GRYCON’s site teams to produce consistent documentation.  The platform’s intuitive UI also allows users to navigate time-stamped scans and compare progress across different points in time effortlessly.
