CMiC Construction Platform

CMiC

FARO HoloBuilder is a construction progress tracking platform powered by 360° reality capture. According to FARO Technologies, the vendor of HoloBuilder, this software solution is designed for small to large-sized construction companies, including general contractors, owners, specialty contractors, engineering firms, and measurement service providers. HoloBuilder aims to streamline construction documentation, facilitate virtual site visits, integrate with BIM models, enhance presentations and bidding, and improve safety measures.

## Key Features

**Construction Progress Tracking**: According to the vendor, HoloBuilder allows users to capture the progress of construction sites with 360° photos, which are automatically organized by project, sheet, and time. This feature provides efficient and effective tracking of construction progress.

**Efficient Documentation**: The vendor claims that HoloBuilder enables up to 80% faster construction photo documentation compared to traditional methods. Users can capture construction site reality with 360° and 2D photos using the mobile app connected to a 360° camera. The photos are automatically organized, making it easy to track progress.

**Virtual Site Visits**: Users can view their construction site in full 360° from anywhere and at any time, according to the vendor. The 360° reality capture data is available instantly, allowing users to confidently track progress. Virtual construction site reviews help reduce inspection delays by avoiding schedule conflicts for physical visits.

**Integration with BIM Models**: HoloBuilder allows users to compare their 360° reality capture construction data with BIM model renderings, according to the vendor. Historical progress and schedules can be overlaid on the 360° data to ensure projects progress as planned. This integration helps ensure alignment between the virtual and physical construction site.

**Improved Presentations and Bidding**: According to the vendor, HoloBuilder enables users to improve their presentations when bidding on projects. Users can walk owners through a previous project documented with 360° reality capture, showcasing the technology's potential. Increased transparency through remote progress visibility builds trust with stakeholders.

**Enhanced Safety Measures**: The vendor states that HoloBuilder reduces the need for in-person construction site trips by enabling virtual visits. Users can create immersive 360° reality capture safety briefings to communicate safety measures. Virtual visits help limit the number of people on-site who do not need to perform physical work, enhancing overall safety.

HoloBuilder™ is a Construction Progress Management platform for General and Specialty Contractors, Owners, Architects, Engineering Firms, and Construction Management Firms to document and communicate construction site progress in 360°. Presented as a “Street View for the jobsite” it enables field teams to capture site progress with 360° cameras and allows other stakeholders to gain remote site access in 360° from anywhere. The workflow generates a digital progress record of their job sites that’s securely accessible at all times.

Procore is a project management software designed specifically for the construction industry. Procore is cloud-based and allows unlimited users per instance, so that construction team members and stakeholders can all access project information and documents.
