From Data Dreams to Reality
Many performance specifications require digital systems for evaluation, monitoring, and documentation. We show you how to recognize what’s really meant—and which solution is the right fit.
The eye thinks too
When we started developing our first visualisations, the goal was clear: to make construction sites more vivid, data more tangible, and decisions easier. What began as a simple point overlay on a digital map has since become a powerful tool. A tool that not only shows what was – but helps to understand what is happening, why it is happening, and what this might mean for the rest of the construction process.
A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND EXCEL SPREADSHEETS
In the beginning was the word. And that word was: “visualisation”. It was supposedly uttered by Philipp, Bernhard and Florian when they set up eguana in 2015. Just how much has changed over the past 10 years – and what the future still has in store for us – is demonstrated today by our “visualisation expert” Philipp Eder.
Urban Oasis
HOW A SHOPPING ARCADE BECOMES AN ECOSYSTEM How can architecture be designed to actively support the climate – without replacing existing structures, but instead making sensible use of them? This question has been on the mind of our colleague Philipp Eder throughout his bachelor’s thesis in architecture. When he’s not working with us on project […]
AND EVERY DAY, THE DATA JUNGLE GREETS US
If you’re thinking of speed dating here, you’re not entirely wrong. Except that in our case, it’s not about heart-fluttering moments and life plans, but about measurement data, excavation pits and digital tools.
Intuition isn’t everything
Between Gut Feeling and Piles of Data Why going forward we’ll not only know more, but make better decisions Intuition is a strange but powerful thing. It’s brought us this far long before there was Google, ChatGPT, GPS, or Gantt charts. And honestly? It works—often better than people give it credit for. Sure, “intuition” can […]
Building Wells in africa
On our construction sites, water is usually the problem—we hold it back, divert it, pump it away. This time, though, we’re flipping the script: what if water itself is the solution?
Technology for the people
Curse or Blessing: When Technology Truly Helps You’ve got a tech issue. Nothing major, just a quick question. So you click “Contact Us,” and… here we go: A chatbot greets you cheerfully, asks what you need – and promptly understands nothing. You try “Login error.” The bot replies, “I’m sorry, I don’t have information on that. […]
DIGITAL TOOLS, ANALOG CHALLENGES
WHEN DIGITALISATION HITS A ROADBLOCK Digitalisation on-site isn’t some distant trend. It’s happening now. Yet while robots map the terrain, AI crunches the numbers, and dashboards could overflow with live data, many construction sites still operate the old way. Why is that? The obvious culprit? People. “They just don’t want to!” you hear whenever a digital […]
