Buildots adds laser scanning through NavVis partnership

Construction intelligence platform Buildots has partnered with NavVis to integrate laser scanning technology into its workflow. This allows for survey-grade precision in verifying construction progress against BIM models for large-scale industrial projects.
Why it matters
Integrating high-precision reality capture helps construction firms reduce errors and costs in complex, mission-critical infrastructure projects.
Construction intelligence platform gains survey-grade reality capture, viewable alongside progress data and BIM Buildots has added laser scanning to its construction intelligence platform through a partnership with reality-capture specialist NavVis , bringing survey-grade precision to the system for the first time.
The company is positioning the capability at mission-critical and mega-projects — data centres, semiconductor fabs and hospitals among them — where dimensional tolerances are tight and as-built accuracy has to be verified rather than assumed.
Buildots’ platform already builds a verified visual record of construction progress, largely from 360-degree imagery captured on site. Laser scanning adds a more precise layer on top of that record, giving teams survey-grade data to confirm dimensions, clearances and installation accuracy where it matters most, and to check for clashes between installed work and the model.
