Buildots
360-degree cameras and AI to track real site progress against the BIM
Overview
Buildots is a site intelligence platform that equips operators with 360-degree camera headsets to automatically capture work progress status on each site visit. AI then compares this visual data against BIM plans and schedules to detect delays up to three weeks before they become critical.
The solution targets major project owners (data centers, hospitals, commercial buildings, industrial projects) and large construction groups like Turner Construction or Bouygues. It provides real-time visibility across an entire project portfolio, with objective reports on subcontractor performance.
Our verdict
Buildots is excellent for project owners and large general contractors who want to move from subjective progress reports to verifiable site reality. The added value is proven (up to 50% delay reduction according to their case studies). Avoid for SMEs and tradespeople: price-on-request targeting large accounts, deployment requiring support, and English-only interface.
