The recordThe site is
The site is
the report.
Every observation, issue, photo and design reference, tied to its place in a 3D scan of your project. Instead of reading about the site, your team opens it.
- Scanned conditions
- Planned floors, from design
- Scan pass
01 · CaptureCapture at the level
Capture at the level
the site needs.
Drone orbits for structure and façade. Lidar scanners such as XGRIDS for floors and fit-out. Phones and 360 cameras for quick check-ins. Every capture is reconstructed into one view, organised by tower, floor and unit.
- Drone camera positions
- Lidar walk, L12
- Phone check-ins
02 · UnderstandAI that knows what it sees,
AI that knows what it sees,
and where.
SpatialSense segments each scan, labels what it finds and fixes every label to a position in 3D. Your team confirms what matters. Nothing becomes a finding until someone signs it off.
- Confirmed
- Needs review
03 · CompareThe design,
The design,
over the scan.
FORM already turns design files into 3D. Lay it over the scan: everything within tolerance goes quiet, and whatever differs is marked up for your team to review.
- Distance from design, mm
- In design, not in scan
- Temporary works, not compared
04 · IndoorsGPS stops
GPS stops
at the door.
Inside a concrete frame, GPS drifts by metres and cannot tell one floor from the next. That cylinder is everywhere your phone might be. Visual positioning narrows it to one spot: the floor, the room and the way you are facing.
- GPS: where you might be
- Visual positioning: where you are
05 · LocateHow the phone
How the phone
finds itself.
No beacons to install. The scan you already captured is the map.
- SeeThe camera frames whatever is in front of it.
- MatchDistinctive points, a door jamb, a wall corner, a pipe elbow, are found again in the scan.
- SolveWhere those points sit fixes where the phone stands and which way it faces, floor included.

Choose the hardware for the stage of work. Every capture is reconstructed into the same view, organised by tower, floor and unit.
Lidar scanners
Professional scanners such as XGRIDS, walked floor by floor for services and fit-out.

02Issues
Issues live in the building,
not on a drawing.
A simple tracker organised by tower, floor and unit shows what is open and who owns it. Every item opens its location in 3D.

03From design to handover
Designed, built,
and then sold.
The same scans can be shared with off-plan buyers and investors as explorable 3D progress updates, so the site record supports sales as well as site management.
- Stage 1 · DesignFORM
Explore the building before it exists, from approved design files.
- Stage 2 · ConstructionBUILT
Record what is actually on site, floor by floor, against the design it was meant to be.
- Stage 3 · Sales and handoverSpatial Studio
Share progress and finished spaces with buyers and investors, on the platform that delivers both.

05Practical details
A few straight answers.
What hardware do you use?
Drones for the structure and façade, professional lidar scanners such as XGRIDS for floors and fit-out, and phones or 360 cameras for quick check-ins. We recommend the mix for each stage of your project.
How accurate is it?
BUILT is a visual, spatial record for coordination and review. Lidar capture holds true scale, but it is not a certified survey: measured deliverables stay with your surveyor.
What does the AI actually do?
SpatialSense segments each scan, proposes labels and positions them in 3D. Your team reviews them, and nothing is recorded as a finding until someone confirms it.
Does visual positioning work everywhere on site?
It works where the scan is recent and the area is recognisable. Sites change quickly and floors can look alike, so when it is unsure it says so rather than guessing the floor.
How does BUILT relate to FORM and Spatial Studio?
FORM is our design visualisation service. BUILT records construction. Spatial Studio is the platform both are delivered on, and where the record is shared.
