Brasfield & Gorrie used virtual hospital mockups to help clients assess patient rooms and operating rooms before construction was complete. Its September 2020 account described this as established practice and said clients could see design changes immediately.

A DroneDeploy-authored case study published in June 2017 described a hospital walkthrough shortly after construction began. Staff feedback prompted changes to medical gas outlet and equipment positions. The account connected the contractor's VR workflow with drone-generated point clouds and building information models; it did not name the hospital or establish the original deployment start date.
