Buildots for contractors: AI progress tracking against BIM

What is Buildots?

Buildots is an AI platform that tracks construction progress. It compares 360° camera, drone or laser-scan captures of the site with the BIM model and schedule, tracks progress element by element and forecasts delays weeks ahead. It suits larger projects with a BIM model and a detailed schedule, and is sold through demos.

A record of what was builtKeeps a dated visual record of the site that the team can explore remotely.
Managed captureCaptures can be done by your team or through Buildots' managed capture service.

Strengths and limitations

Strengths

  • Progress measured against the BIM model and schedule, not just photos.
  • Forecasts delays early.
  • Buildots lists SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certification.

Limitations

  • Needs a BIM model and a detailed schedule to get full value.
  • Quote-based, with an implementation period of a few weeks.
  • Its public privacy policy doesn't cover customer platform data; ask for the customer agreement.

What happens to your data?

  • Buildots' privacy policy covers website visitors only; for platform data it acts as a processor and the customer as controller.
  • We found no public statement on whether customer captures train its AI; ask for the customer data terms before signing.
  • Footage and scans can include people and personal data; plan notices and access rules in line with India's DPDP Act, 2023.

CloudBrain’s view

A good fit for larger, BIM-led projects where progress against the model and early delay warnings justify the setup. Make sure the model and schedule are maintained, and agree data terms before rollout.

What is Buildots?

Buildots, from Tel Aviv, uses AI to compare captures of the site with the BIM model and schedule. It tracks progress element by element, including areas that aren't modelled, and forecasts delays before they show on the programme.

How do AEC teams use Buildots?

  • Monthly progress measurement against the model
  • Early warnings of delays for the planning team
  • A dated visual record for claims and handover

What should you check before using it on projects?

  1. Keep the BIM model and schedule current.
  2. Agree who captures the site and how often.
  3. Get the customer data terms in writing.
