Case Study: MBN achieves leaner construction and €7,000 rework savings with Buildots and koppla

MBN identifies 38 site errors and saves €7,000 with Buildots

MBN, a German construction leader, faced the challenge of maintaining a truly Lean construction process on a major residential project. Their existing scheduling system, koppla, relied on subjective manual feedback from on-site teams, which led to potential resource inefficiencies and made detailed inspections difficult. To bring objective data to their process, MBN turned to vendor Buildots and its AI-powered site analysis.

By integrating Buildots with their koppla platform, MBN created a powerful double-checking system. Buildots used AI to compare 360-degree site captures against the BIM model, providing objective data that identified errors human inspectors might miss. This solution had a significant measurable impact, identifying 38 relevant errors throughout the project. In one specific instance, Buildots detected a misplaced drywall immediately after installation, saving approximately €7,000 in rework costs by preventing a much more complex and costly repair later.
