Construction intelligence platform
BuildSight AI turns site photos, drawings, schedules and inspections into a live, evidence-backed view of progress, risk and quality, so teams act on what is built, not on what is reported.
This is the working MVP on a sample project. Click around, or open it full screen.
What BuildSight does
BuildSight AI is a construction-intelligence platform. Your teams photograph the site the way they already do, and BuildSight works out what has actually been built, compares it with the drawings and the schedule, and shows where the project is slipping.
It reads every photo before it says a word. Columns, formwork, blockwork, ductwork: each observation is placed on a building, level and zone, linked to the right drawing and schedule activity, and kept as evidence.
Owners, contractors and engineers stop piecing status together from spreadsheets and photo folders. They open one view of the project's physical reality, and ask it questions.

A screen recording of the BuildSight MVP on the Atlas sample project: capture, AI analysis, inspection comparison, progress confirmation, schedule risk, Copilot and the weekly report.
The problem
Every week a project produces thousands of photos, revised drawings, schedule updates, inspection records and daily reports. Teams still piece them together by hand to answer a simple question: where are we, really?
BuildSight connects those signals into one project-intelligence layer, so the answer comes with its evidence.
Sample week on Atlas Data Center — Phase II: 2,418 photos · 186 drawings · 412 schedule activities · 3 open quality observations
How it works
Teams photograph the site with any phone or upload a walkthrough video. Each batch is tagged to a building, level and zone.
AI reads each image for columns, formwork, blockwork, ductwork, equipment and activity, with a confidence on every observation.
BuildSight compares the photo with the previous inspection from the same viewpoint, the current drawings and the planned schedule.
Progress gaps, stalled zones and potential quality issues are flagged, each with the photos that show it.
Trends and the critical path show where delay is likely to spread next, using rules your team can read.
Project managers confirm progress, ask Copilot follow-up questions and publish the weekly report in minutes.
MEC-112 (mechanical rough-in, Level 3 Zone B) has not started, 8 working days after its planned start on 29 September. None of the 23 photos of that zone since then show ductwork or supports.12
Core capabilities
Every demo below runs on the same sample project. Try them.
Visual intelligence
Drag across Monday's and Friday's inspection of Level 4 Zone C. BuildSight found four new columns, more blockwork and finished formwork, and noticed that mechanical work has not started.
Drag the handle, or use the arrow keys. Overlays show what changed.
Progress intelligence
Drawing intelligence
BuildSight Copilot
Copilot answers from this project's photos, drawings, schedule and observations, and attaches the evidence. When the data cannot answer a question, it says so.
Quality intelligence
BuildSight flags potential issues for professional review. It does not certify structural condition.
Project map
Technology
BuildSight is more than a chatbot over PDFs. It sees the site, places what it sees in the project, and measures it against the plan, with rules a project manager can read.
A vision pass records what is visible: elements, activity and condition, each with a confidence. Only what it can see.
Each observation is linked to a building, level, zone, element, drawing and schedule activity in the project graph.
Captures from the same viewpoint are compared, so change between inspections becomes a measured difference.
Weighted activity checklists turn changes into progress, and variance plus the critical path turns progress into risk.
Copilot answers and weekly reports cite the photos, drawings and activities behind every statement.
Private by default. Each organisation's data is isolated and encrypted, and never shared with other customers.

Who it's for
Is the progress I'm paying for actually built?
Verify progress independently, with photo evidence behind every number.
Where are we losing time across trades?
See variance by zone, package and subcontractor, and the areas with no visible progress.
What needs my attention this week?
A ranked list of problem areas and a weekly report drafted from confirmed data.
Which drawing applies to what I'm looking at?
The current revision for any photographed element, and quality observations to review.
Which projects need intervention?
The same measures across every project, from portfolio down to a single photo.
The shift
Security
Enterprise buyers trust BuildSight with drawings and site imagery that matter. The platform is built for that from the first line of code.
Security detailsEarly access
We are working with a small group of owners, contractors and engineering firms on early pilots.
A 30-minute call about your projects and how you report progress today.
A live demo on the sample project, then on a batch of your own photos.
One project, agreed success measures and a weekly check-in.
Each zone has a checklist built from its schedule activities, weighted by planned duration. BuildSight reads each photo, compares it with the previous capture from the same viewpoint, and suggests a percentage for each item. A project manager confirms the suggestion before it changes any reported figure.
No. The MVP works with photos and walkthrough videos from the phones your teams already carry. Fixed cameras, drones and an API are on the roadmap.
No. BuildSight reads your schedule (Microsoft Project XML, Primavera P6 XER or CSV) and your drawing sets, and adds what the site actually shows. Your existing tools stay the system of record for planning.
Every AI observation carries a confidence and its evidence. Low-confidence results go to a person, progress suggestions need confirmation, and quality findings are potential observations for professional review, never certifications.
Your data belongs to your organisation. It is isolated from other customers, encrypted at rest and in transit, governed by roles you set, and deleted on request under your retention settings.
Photos (JPG, HEIC, PNG), walkthrough video (MP4, MOV), drawing and specification PDFs, and schedules from Microsoft Project, Primavera P6 or CSV.
On enterprise cloud infrastructure with encryption and isolation throughout. The application layer is cloud-independent by design, so infrastructure can follow your organisation's requirements as deployments grow.
