Reality Capture

What is Construction Progress Tracking?

AI progress tracking compares regular site captures — 360 photos, LiDAR, drone imagery — against the BIM model and schedule to measure what has actually been built. Instead of self-reported percent-complete, it produces observed progress, element by element.

In practice

Teams get objective installed-quantity data, early warning when trades fall behind, and a visual record for payment applications and disputes. It is one of the most proven applications of computer vision in construction.
