Case Study – Using XR and Digital Twins to Train Teams, Test Decisions, and Reduce Risk Before Construction (Gilbane Building Company)

Construction is one of the few industries where we’re still learning in real time—on the job, with real risk, real cost, and real consequences.

What if we could simulate those conditions ahead of time—train teams, test decisions, and play out scenarios before stepping on site?

By applying game design thinking with XR and digital twins, we’re starting to shift from reacting in the field to making smarter decisions earlier—driving safer projects, stronger schedules, and better cost outcomes.
