Brick&Bolt, India’s number one tech enabled construction company has introduced “contactless construction” for its customers amid COVID-19 pandemic. It will provide customers with a safer, convenient and virtual alternative to build their dream homes.
With the launch, Brick&Bolt has created a technology solution that maintains a high level of construction productivity even during these challenging times. The most pressing issue for home builders right now is the fear and uncertainty regarding both COVID and the current state of construction activity. The pandemic has complicated both short-term and long-term plans for many, as people are now worried about the challenges that will accompany house construction.
By introducing “contactless construction”, Brick&Bolt has not only ensured customers’ safety through social distancing but has also allowed them to track the progress of their homes through its tech platform.
Jayesh Rajpurohit, Co-Founder and CEO, Brick&Bolt, said lockdowns and social distancing made the pandemic particularly difficult for home builders. “We wanted to build an alternative construction model that integrates safety, construction technology and customer comfort with on-ground construction activity. Through “contactless construction”, we have created a virtual system that facilitates quality assurance, better communicationit and collaboration between contractors, customers and vendors, all within the comfort of the customer’s home. It is one step forward in delivering on our promise to make construction transparent, predictable and truly digitized.”
With contactless construction, customers can work with contractors and project managers over the phone or video conferencing. Documents can also be signed electronically. Customers can also approve plans, track real time progress and monitor every aspect of the project virtually. With a designated project manager and the use of multiple technology platforms, the company ensures no quality check is missed during the construction process.
