Problem
Construction projects often suffer from delays and budget overruns due to inadequate progress tracking and communication. Traditional methods of site documentation are time-consuming, require physical site visits, and lack a centralized platform for stakeholders to access and collaborate on project status. This can lead to miscommunication, rework, and disputes.
Solution
FARO Sphere XG Digital Reality Platform (formerly HoloBuilder) provides a construction progress management solution that uses 360° photography and 3D point clouds to document and visualize jobsite progress in real-time. The platform enables remote access to detailed site documentation, facilitating efficient communication and collaboration among stakeholders, including operations, finance, safety, owners, VDC, architects, trade partners, inspectors, and investors. By capturing, viewing, and controlling project progress through a single platform, construction teams can maintain project schedules and budgets, reduce travel costs, and mitigate risks. The JobWalk App guides the capture process, automatically organizing 360° and 2D photos by project, floor plan, and date/time.
Target Audience
The primary users are general contractors, specialty contractors, owners, and engineering firms involved in construction projects who need to track progress, facilitate communication, and ensure projects stay on time and within budget.
