Why We Created The Hub

Volanti makes large displays for construction teams.

That is the visible product: the screen, the table, the shared workspace people gather around.

But the value of that product does not come from the hardware alone. It comes from how well it fits the way construction teams actually work.

That means we think beyond the display itself. You may have seen our https://www.planworkflow.com/ website and https://aec.volantidisplays.com/ as we explore the AEC workflow.

We work to understand how drawings are reviewed, how models are used, how RFIs are raised, how site photos are captured, how changes are discussed, how decisions are made, how actions are recorded, and how information moves between the office, the field, the trailer, the consultant team, the owner, and the subcontractors.

The Hub by Volanti is where we look at the wider workflow around construction information. Looking for “signals” is how we prepare for what is coming.

Construction teams already have plenty of software. They have tools for drawings, models, schedules, RFIs, submittals, field reports, punch lists, estimates, photos, and project records.

The challenge is that those tools do not always come together easily when people need to review something, agree what it means, and decide what to do next.

That is the area we are interested in.

Where does the drawing meet the discussion?
Where does the model help the field team?
Where does a site photo become an action?
Where does an RFI become a clear decision?
Where does a meeting become a useful record?
Where does AI help, and where does it simply add another thing to check?

These are practical questions. They matter because construction work depends on coordination, and coordination depends on people seeing the same information clearly enough to act on it.

From Volanti’s point of view, the display is one part of that.

A large shared screen can make information easier to review together. A touch-first interface can make digital plans feel more natural to use. A table format can change the way people gather around a drawing. A clearer display can make details easier to see.

But none of that matters unless it supports a real workflow.

So The Hub is our way of paying attention to that wider context.

We will look at construction software, AI, BIM, digital twins, field tools, plan review, reality capture, coordination workflows, shared workspaces, and the practical problems that sit between them.

We make hardware, but the workflow is the point.

The display sits at the moment where people need to see, discuss, mark up, compare, question, and decide. To build better products for that moment, we need to understand everything around it.

That is what this newsletter is for.
