Google glasses: Transforming Construction Industry

An engineer, a contractor or an owner seeks to precisely control over every element in construction process. Each year huge amount of money(billions of dollars) is wasted in construction projects due to inefficiency and inaccuracy. Time period of any construction project is directly linked to it's total cost of construction, which is determined by the level of technologies we use in civil engineering construction. So, there is only way to reduce such redundant expenditure is use of advance technology, that helps communication to keep transparent between involved ones, eliminating unnecessary delays caused by failure of co-ordination between contractors.
One may wonder how GOOGLE GLASSES will help construction, similar to apps we use in our smartphones, we will be able to use apps built for it and with aid of apps integrated with GPS, GIS, ERDAS, CAD and other, imagine what and how fast a professional can extract information and conclusions out. Procore is ready to build such apps and mainly civil engineers are itching to get hands on first. Below is the answer that what each category of people can have benefits using Google glasses in construction industry:-

Owner:-
