How it works on your site

Buildots is a cloud-based construction progress tracking platform that uses 360-degree cameras mounted on hard hats and computer vision to compare as-built conditions against BIM models and project schedules. It covers daily walkthrough documentation, BIM-to-field comparison, and defect identification across interior fit-out projects. The platform is shipping.

BIM-to-Field Comparison (Scan-vs-BIM)

Buildots checks each set of hard-hat camera captures against the BIM model and flags installations that do not match it. On NCC's Nummen Koulu school renovation in Finland, the site team sends each flagged item to the responsible trade for correction, or updates the model where the model is out of date.

Daily Walkthrough and Progress Documentation

A site worker wearing a hard-hat-mounted 360-degree camera walks the project once or twice per week; the walkthrough takes 30 to 60 minutes and doubles as the regular QC tour. The platform processes uploaded imagery against the BIM model in the cloud and generates progress dashboards, delay forecasts, and automated reports without manual data entry. A natural-language AI assistant (Dot) lets PMs query progress data from any device.

Defect Identification and Punch List / Closeout Tracking

Buildots flags unfinished installations, which it calls loose ends, and each build error with its exact location in the model. The project team triages the list in one view, sets deadlines, shares items with the responsible trades and tracks them to completion, or exports them to Procore, Forma or Revizto.

Will it work on your site

Environment: Interior fit-out via hardhat-mounted 360 cameras; outdoor and underground utility tracking via drone imagery (launched 2025)
Capture workflow: 30-60 min walkthrough, 1-2x/week; hard-hat-mounted 360 camera (platform is hardware-agnostic across commercial 360 camera models)
Connectivity: Internet required for data upload and web dashboard access; mobile app supports offline site walks and syncs when reconnected
Control interface: Web dashboard (app.bldts.io); iOS and Android mobile apps (offline-capable for site walks)
Tracking scope: Tracks construction elements visible to 360-degree cameras and mapped in the BIM model; tasks without clear visual cues (e.g. MEP testing, inspections) require manual input
Integrations: Autodesk BIM 360/ACC/Build (listed on Autodesk Marketplace); Revizto via BCF export
