Track Construction Progress vs. BIM Automatically.
For general contractors and developers, we build tailored AI algorithms that compare site photos against your Digital Twin (BIM) to detect delays, verify quality, and automate pay apps in real-time.
Why Manual Reporting Hides the Truth?
Construction projects run on "subjective reporting." A subcontractor says they are "90% done," so you pay them. But the reality is often different. Relying on clipboard walks creates three blockers:
The "Percent Complete" Guess
Project Managers guess completion percentages based on visual estimates. Our AI counts every stud, pipe, and duct to calculate the exact completion % objectively.
Late Rework Detection
Discovering a plumbing clash after the drywall is up costs 10x more to fix. Our AI flags installation deviations (e.g., "Pipe is 3 inches off-center") instantly.
Payment Disputes
Verifying subcontractor invoices takes days of site walks. Our system provides visual proof of work linked to the schedule, automating payment applications.
Solutions for the Digital Job Site
BIM vs. Reality Comparison
We align 360° site photos to your Autodesk/Revit model. The AI visualizes the "Delta," highlighting elements that are missing, damaged, or installed in the wrong location.
Automated Trade Tracking
Track specific trades automatically. The AI identifies "drywall hanging," "electrical rough-in," or "floor tiling" and updates the Master Schedule (P6/Microsoft Project) without human input.
Quality Control (QA/QC) Logs
Automate the punch list. We detect common defects like "missing firestop," "cracked concrete," or "exposed rebar," and pin them to the floor plan for the superintendent to fix.
How We Engineer the Digital Twin?
Step 1: Reality Capture Ingestion
We process data from 360° cameras (Insta360, Ricoh), Laser Scanners (LiDAR), or standard smartphone walks.
Step 2: 3D Alignment (SLAM)
We use simultaneous localization and mapping to align the photo to the exact XYZ coordinates in the BIM model. This ensures the "virtual wall" overlays perfectly with the "real wall."
Step 3: Semantic Understanding
Our custom models identify construction elements. The AI knows that a "grey rectangular surface" is a concrete column and checks if it exists in the model.
Step 4: The "Diff" Logic
The engine calculates the difference. If the Model has a duct, but the Photo shows space, it flags "missing asset."
Customer Story
Project's Summary
"We were spending 20 hours a week manually verifying subcontractor invoices. Folio3 built a BIM-integration tool that verifies installed quantities automatically, cutting our payment processing time by 80%." — Project Executive, Commercial Real Estate Developer.

Frequently asked questions
No. While LiDAR offers millimeter precision, our "Photogrammetry" models can achieve high accuracy using standard, affordable 360° cameras or even smartphone video.
Yes. We can push the "issues" or "daily logs" directly into Procore or Autodesk Build, so your team doesn't have to learn a new software interface.
Yes. We train specific models to recognize distinct MEP components like "galvanized duct," "PVC pipe," and "cable trays," even in complex ceiling plenums.
Yes. You are building a proprietary asset. The historical progress data and the trained models belong to you, creating a permanent digital record of the build.
