REALITY CAPTURE

Create a digital twin of your job site.

Construction site reality capture leverages advanced technologies like drones, cameras, and 360° cameras to create comprehensive visual data that enhances project management and collaboration. Drones equipped with high-resolution cameras capture aerial imagery, which is processed into orthomosaic maps and detailed 3D models of the site. These maps and models offer accurate, up-to-date views of the entire project, allowing teams to monitor progress, inspect work quality, and identify potential issues from any location. Meanwhile, ground-based cameras and 360° cameras capture site photos, videos, and panoramic walkthroughs, providing a thorough visual record of both interior and exterior spaces.

This combination of data types supports improved communication among stakeholders by offering virtual site visits and collaborative reviews. Progress tracking becomes more efficient, enabling managers to compare as-built conditions against design plans and timelines. Additionally, regular captures help mitigate risk by documenting site conditions, ensuring compliance, and providing evidence in case of disputes. By integrating these reality capture methods, construction teams can maintain tighter control over project execution, enhance transparency, and make informed decisions more quickly.

Models

3D models from drone imagery offer a detailed, interactive view of the site, supporting accurate analysis, virtual walkthroughs, and progress tracking.

Site
Photos/Videos/Panos

These provide a comprehensive visual record, allowing for detailed inspections, progress tracking, and enhanced communication with stakeholders.

Interior/Exterior
Walkthroughs

Generated from a 360° camera, these offer immersive, interactive views of the site, facilitating detailed inspections and virtual tours for more effective project management and collaboration.

PROGRESS DOCUMENTATION

Progress documentation through reality capture plays a crucial role in maintaining a detailed project history and ensuring transparency throughout the construction process. By regularly capturing site data, teams can verify schedules, validate installations, and track earthwork quantities over time. These consistent records allow for accurate comparisons between planned and actual progress, helping to identify delays, confirm that installations are done correctly, and monitor grading or excavation activities. Comprehensive visual records not only support better decision-making but also provide reliable evidence for dispute resolution, ensuring all stakeholders stay aligned with project goals.

QA/QC

QA/QC in construction are significantly enhanced through reality capture technology. Scope inspections become more precise by overlaying captured imagery onto design drawings, allowing for immediate comparison and identification of discrepancies. Virtual measurements enable teams to verify dimensions and alignments directly from the captured data without requiring physical access to the site. These insights also contribute to safety by highlighting potential hazards or non-compliant conditions early. Additionally, punch list inspections benefit from comprehensive visual documentation, enabling faster issue resolution and ensuring all work meets the required standards before project completion.

RISK MITIGATION

Risk mitigation in construction is strengthened through the use of reality capture, which provides clear and consistent documentation for dispute resolution, pay application verification, and liability protection. High-quality visual records offer a reliable source of truth in case of disagreements, helping to resolve disputes quickly and fairly. Captured data also supports pay app verification by providing concrete evidence of completed work, ensuring accurate billing and reducing the risk of overpayments. Additionally, detailed documentation of site conditions at various stages safeguards against potential liability claims by proving that work was performed to standard and that safety protocols were followed throughout the project.

COMMUNICATION & COLLABORATION

Enhanced communication and collaboration in construction are driven by the digitization of the site through reality capture technology. Virtual site walks allow stakeholders to remotely explore and assess the project, enabling more frequent updates and informed decision-making without the need for physical visits. This technology also supports marketing efforts by providing compelling visuals that showcase progress and project scope. Subcontractor coordination is improved as teams can review real-time site conditions and plan work more efficiently. The digitization of the site ensures that everyone has access to consistent, up-to-date information, fostering smoother workflows and more effective collaboration across all project phases.
