Reality Capture & Site Documentation

AI measurement platform that generates 3D property models and material quantities from smartphone photos.

Secondary use as a fast exterior as-built tool -- Hover generates a dimensionally-accurate 3D model of a building's exterior from smartphone photos, providing a lightweight site documentation record for roofing, siding, and envelope work.

AI-powered 360-degree site capture platform that auto-maps photos to floor plans for progress documentation.

Skip for a firm of one -- enterprise 360 site documentation requires camera hardware and a full-time capture program that makes no sense for a solo practice's project sizes.

360-degree job site photo documentation platform with AI-assisted progress comparison over time; rebranded as FARO Sphere XG after acquisition by FARO Technologies in 2021.

Overkill for a firm of one -- 360 documentation at this price tier is designed for GCs running multi-month construction programs, not a solo architect doing periodic site visits.

Computer vision platform that compares 360 helmet-camera footage against the BIM to detect deviations.

Skip for a firm of one -- helmet-mounted camera capture and BIM-compare CV requires large site crews, IT infrastructure, and enterprise budget a solo practice cannot support.

AI visual construction monitoring that fuses 360, drone, laser scan, and BIM data into a digital twin for remote quality control and progress tracking.

Skip for a firm of one -- multi-source data fusion requires drone operations, laser scan equipment, and enterprise project budgets a solo practice cannot support.

AI computer-vision platform that measures work-in-place against BIM and schedule to flag variances; crews use 360-degree cameras for site capture.

Skip for a firm of one -- work-in-place-to-schedule reconciliation requires large GC crews, enterprise BIM, and capital project budgets far beyond a solo practice.

Crane-mounted multi-sensor system (CraneView) that passively captures pick sequences, idle time, and safety data to provide real-time site operations analytics.

Skip for a firm of one -- crane-mounted sensors require active tower cranes and a large steel-erection site outside a solo architect's or engineer's project scope.
