What Buildots does
Buildots is construction progress software for general contractors and owners on large projects. It compares site captures with the BIM model and schedule, measures progress per element and forecasts which activities threaten the delivery date.
Compares site captures with the BIM model and schedule to measure progress per element
Delay forecasting flags activities likely to affect the delivery date weeks in advance
Tracks progress at element level, including areas that are not modeled
Buildots names US contractors such as JE Dunn, Mortenson and DLR Group and UK contractors such as Kier and Mace among its customers.
Before you switch: Buildots needs a usable BIM model and a detailed schedule, so check model quality before a pilot. Clarify where images are stored, since the privacy policy mentions transfers outside the EEA. Site images can show workers; agree on how people in captures are handled and who may view them.

Check before buying: Plan amounts were not visible on the pages we checked, so confirm the price per Active Space before you commit. Matterport runs on AWS and offers a data processing addendum that refers to GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA and PIPEDA; the pages we checked do not name hosting regions, so ask where scans are stored. Scans of occupied homes or offices can capture people and documents, so agree on blurring and retention. Advanced AI features depend on the plan.
