WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Construction project managers manually review hundreds of photos weekly to track progress, taking 5-10 hours to identify delays and quality issues. Critical problems are discovered weeks late, causing costly rework and schedule overruns.

The Solution

Computer vision AI analyzes 360-degree construction photos and compares them to BIM models and schedules in real-time. Automatically detects installation progress, quality issues, and safety violations, alerting teams to problems within hours instead of weeks.
