Buildots uses AI and site captures to track construction progress, identify delays, and compare what is actually being built against project plans and schedules.
Understanding exactly how much work has been completed on a large construction project can be difficult. Progress reports often depend on manual site walks, updates from subcontractors, and information collected by project managers before it can be compared with the project schedule.
Buildots takes a different approach by capturing the physical jobsite with 360-degree cameras, drones, and laser scans. Its AI analyzes those captures against the project's BIM model and schedule, creating objective progress data that shows what has actually been installed and completed.
Buildots goes beyond documenting completed work by analyzing the pace of construction and identifying activities that may be falling behind. Project teams can compare actual progress with planned progress and see where individual trades, floors, areas, or activities are beginning to deviate from the schedule.
The platform also uses this progress data to forecast potential delays, giving teams an opportunity to adjust resources or address problems before they affect major project milestones. This shifts progress tracking from simply reporting what already happened toward helping teams understand what may happen next.
Buildots automatically measures construction progress by comparing site captures with the project’s BIM model and schedule. Teams can see progress by trade, floor, area, activity, or individual element, giving them a detailed view of completed and outstanding work.
This replaces much of the guesswork involved in traditional progress reporting with objective data collected directly from the jobsite.
Buildots uses project progress data to identify activities that are moving too slowly and forecast potential delays before they reach major milestones.
Instead of discovering a schedule problem after work has already fallen significantly behind, project teams can see emerging risks earlier and decide whether additional labor, resources, or changes in sequencing are needed to keep the project moving.
Buildots can also use verified installation data to support payment applications. The platform tracks quantities of completed work so owners, contractors, and consultants can compare what is being billed with what has actually been installed on site.
This creates a more objective basis for reviewing payments, improving financial visibility and helping reduce disagreements over how much work has been completed.
Buildots gives construction teams a more objective way to understand what is actually happening on a project. By comparing site captures with project plans and schedules, teams can track completed work, identify delays, and spot potential problems earlier.
This gives developers and contractors better visibility into project performance without relying entirely on manual progress reports and site updates.
