Where this job sits on the map

In the same group: 14 of 100 professions.

What changes

  1. Software places walk-through images on the floor plan automatically

  2. Comparing what was captured with the BIM (3D building) model shows deviations sooner

  3. Work in place is confirmed with images, not just paperwork

AI drafts, the person decides

How the work splits here: AI prepares a draft, the person checks it and makes the call.

AI makes the draft

What AI does

  • Stitching images together and placing them on the floor plan
  • Comparing progress against the schedule and the model
  • A draft progress report for the owner
  • Walk-through notes from voice annotations
You check itRead it, check the facts, fix it. Without this check the draft goes nowhere.
You decide and stay responsible

What stays with the person

  • Planning the capture and keeping the site safe
  • Checking that a deviation is real and not a software error
  • Talking with the superintendent and the owner about the problems you find
  • Choosing equipment and software for the job
