IHP chooses Buildots AI platform to oversee construction at National Rehabilitation Centre build

Published: 25-Jul-2025

The Buildots platform has been chosen to compare 360° site imagery against the project's planned BIM model and schedule to generate an accurate view of planned vs actual progress at the new hospital programme build

AI construction technology leader Buildots will support the delivery of the £105 million National Rehabilitation Centre.

The company has been engaged by Integrated Health Projects (IHP), the joint venture between VINCI Building and Sir Robert McAlpine, to provide its digital platform.

The new NHS facility will integrate research, training, and education with clinical care provided by Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH).

Buildots states that the platform is already driving measurable impact.

Buildots' platform compares 360° site imagery against the project's planned BIM model and schedule to generate an accurate view of planned vs actual progress. Its predictive analytics flag at-risk activities early, enabling site teams to proactively address inefficiencies.

The platform can also use progress data to pinpoint the root causes of delays, shape mitigation plans, and continually measure impact to refine execution.

IHP enhances Buildots' insights by integrating biometric turnstile data to track the number of workers onsite. By comparing workforce levels with weekly progress on specific activities, it sees areas where additional labour is needed.

Buildots’ AI was also used to deliver the new BEACH unit at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital.

This is what the future of healthcare construction looks like

"When we approach a project like NRC, we look at how we can save taxpayers' money without compromising the quality of the work," said Ryan McCormack, Head of Programme Construction and Commercial at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.

Will Coupland, Project Director at IHP, added: "With Buildots, our team is better equipped to identify areas for improvement during construction, execute immediate corrective actions and streamline processes." 

Aviv Leibovici, co-founder and CPO of Buildots. "This is what the future of healthcare construction looks like: proactive, accountable, and insight-led. We're excited to help shape it."

IHP and Buildots' work together on this project was recently shortlisted for the Digital Innovation in Productivity Award at the Digital Construction Awards 2025. It demonstrates Buildots' deep expertise in healthcare construction, building on successful collaborations, such as the Royal Bournemouth Hospital's BEACH building.
