Last updated: 2026-11-12

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.

## 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.
