Business Value of HoloBuilder Software

Reduce Cost

Save time and money with up to 80% faster construction photo documentation, compared with traditional methods. Increase productivity and reduce travel time by visiting multiple construction sites virtually with a 360° experience. Reduce rework by accessing historical photo documentation to review project progress and ensure which installations have been made – without the need to open walls.

Improve Schedule

Boost time management control by knowing as early as possible when you are going off-schedule with the benefit of multiple team members reviewing progress remotely and noticing any delays. Virtual construction site reviews also allow you to reduce inspection delays by avoiding schedule conflicts for physical construction site visits by inspectors.

Win More Work

Improve your presentations when bidding on projects and walk the owner through a previous project that you’ve documented with 360° reality capture. Differentiate your offerings with cutting-edge construction progress tracking technology, showing your innovative approach to progress management and maintain trust through increased transparency for stakeholders who can see remote progress.

Increase Safety

Limit the need for in-person construction site trips by enabling virtual visits, leading to fewer people on-site who do not need to do physical work. Create easily understandable and immersive 360° reality capture safety briefings so your teams can learn what the construction site will look like when they arrive, including emergency exits and no-go areas. Train team members about safety risks by showing examples virtually in your construction photo documentation.

The Leading Software for Construction Progress Tracking

The HoloBuilder construction progress tracking software enables field teams to capture construction site progress with 360° jobsite cameras and allows other key stakeholders, including owners, VDC teams, architects, subcontractors, and many more to access the site remotely and see its current state and historical progress from anywhere as if they were there.

The construction SaaS platform improves your workflows, fosters collaboration, and increases transparency. It allows you to share the same information and perspective with everyone. The easy and straightforward construction progress tracking process generates a complete record of your projects’ progress that’s securely accessible whenever you need it. Save time and money by eliminating debate, reducing confusion and increasing trust and collaboration.

HoloBuilder Software Features

Fast & Easy Progress Tracking

Document construction progress with unparalleled speed and accuracy. All you need is a 360° jobsite camera connected to a state-of-the-art mobile device. The power of built-in Augmented Reality technology tracks where you walk on the construction site and takes photos at meaningful locations to create a well-structured construction photo documentation of your progress.

Mobile Punchlist Item Creation

Mark up noteworthy observations on your photos in the mobile app, attach them to categories, add 2D photos for detail shots, and do much more while walking the construction site. Upload the results to the secure construction SaaS cloud and make them instantly accessible for your entire team.

2D Photo Capture & Management

Simply take a 2D photo with your mobile device and attach it to your sheet when you don’t have a 360° camera for construction at hand. Add multiple 2D photos to a single location like you do with 360° photos and don’t worry about their organization anymore.

Field-To-Office Connection

Pre-plan all your progress documentation during the preconstruction phase by placing capture points at important locations that your teams can capture later. Request construction photo documentation updates from the field by sending your team notifications on their mobile devices and save lots of travel time!

Side-By-Side Progress Comparison

Create a consistent construction photo documentation of the same locations on-site over time to generate a version history that allows you to compare different points in time side-by-side with a split screen view.

BIM Model with Progress Comparison

Upload your BIM renderings and compare them side-by-side with construction progress photos to improve your design coordination and benefit from better quality control. Take the model into the field to view it whenever you need it, online or offline.

Powerful Stakeholders Report Creation

Create powerful handover packages as PDF files, a format that your stakeholders know and trust. Download an offline version of your construction photo documentation, accessible without internet access in the proprietary offline client.

Centralized Project Management

Manage all your projects on the construction tracking platform from one single dashboard, enterprise-wide. Oversee any project or team with a few clicks and see how your projects progress on the highest level.

Permission Based Information Access

Follow a need-to-know approach when sharing information and data with stakeholders by setting the right permissions for secure access. Administrators on an enterprise level can activate specific features for projects, enable organization-wide branding projects, bulk invite new users and much more.

Progress Insights & Analytics

Make informed decisions by monitoring the analytics of your active projects and understand the progress being made on the construction sites. See project status and all ongoing activities with real-time updates on what work has been performed.
