Key features
Progress Management: Automatically analyzes earthwork (cut-and-fill) areas based on aerial imagery, enabling design-surface comparison, quantity takeoff, and weekly quantitative progress tracking.
Safety Protection: Uses AI to automatically detect on-site safety hazards—such as missing kick plates or trip hazards—and generates real-time reports without requiring manual configuration or training.
Use cases and audience
Designed for field construction teams, operations personnel, and virtual design and construction (VDC) teams in the construction, energy, and agriculture sectors, it can be operated by users with no specialized technical background.
- Progress Management: Utilizes drone-based aerial imaging and AI analysis to automatically track earthwork (cut-and-fill) progress, compare it against design models, and quantify construction completion levels.
- Quality Inspections: Employs computer vision AI to automatically identify on-site defects such as rust, leaks, and debris, ranking them by severity.
- Safety Risk Identification: Real-time detection of OSHA-compliant risks such as missing baseboards and trip hazards, with automated safety reports generated.
Drone aerial photos, 360-degree panoramic images, smartphone-captured images, fixed-camera video streams, design BIM models, or terrain surface data.
Orthomosaic maps, 3D reality models, 360° indoor walkthroughs, earthwork quantity (cut/fill) analysis reports, AI-driven visualizations of progress and safety risks, and data synchronization with systems like Esri, Autodesk, and Procore.
Frequently asked questions
Is a free trial available?
Yes, each new user can enjoy a 14-day free trial without providing credit card information.
Can I purchase only the aerial (Aerial) or ground-level (Ground) functionality separately?
Absolutely. Users can subscribe individually to either the Aerial (drone) or Ground (360°/smartphone) feature, or opt for the Unified plan that includes both.
How to use
- 01
Register an account and apply for a 14-day free trial (no credit card required).
- 02
Choose the appropriate plan: Aerial Pro (aerial photography), Ground Pro (360° ground-level capture), or Unified (both combined).
- 03
Capture on-site imagery using a drone, a 360° camera, or a smartphone.
- 04
Generate orthomaps, 3D models, or 360° walkthroughs within the platform, and leverage Progress AI or Safety AI to produce analytical reports.
Pricing and availability
Each plan is billed annually (with monthly payment options available), and prices are quoted in U.S. dollars. Individual Pilot and Ag Lite offer single-seat licenses, while Aerial Pro and Ground Pro impose limits on the number of images that can be uploaded (e.g., Ag Lite is capped at 1,000 images per month). The Unified Plan is offered as a custom quote. All plans include email and live chat support, though ground‑based image processing requires an additional subscription. A fair‑use policy applies to upload volumes.
