About
Doxel is an AI-powered construction progress tracking platform that brings physical intelligence to job sites. By combining 360° video captured during normal site walks with advanced computer vision, Doxel automatically measures work-in-place for every trade, system, and stage—eliminating the need for time-consuming manual tracking. The platform compares actual progress against BIM plans in near real-time, surfacing schedule risks and out-of-sequence work before they spiral into costly delays or rework. Doxel's delay forecasting engine leverages historical production rates to help project teams adjust plans proactively and recover faster when issues arise. For owners and executives, Doxel offers a unified portfolio management view, providing a single source of objective truth across all active projects. The setup process is designed to be lightweight: teams simply submit their BIM files, mount a 360° camera to a hard hat, and Doxel handles the rest—getting projects onboarded in under two weeks. Trusted by leading general contractors such as Layton Construction, Sundt Construction, and DPR Construction, Doxel is built for project managers, superintendents, and portfolio owners who need fast, accurate, and unbiased construction progress data to make better decisions and build smarter.
Key Features
- Automated Progress Tracking: Computer vision analyzes 360° site-walk video to measure work-in-place for every trade, system, and stage without manual effort.
- Plan vs. Actual Comparison: Instantly compare BIM plans against real-world construction progress broken down by component, system, and schedule milestone.
- Delay Forecasting: Predicts future schedule risks using historical production rate data, enabling proactive plan adjustments before delays compound.
- Rework Prevention: Detects incomplete or out-of-sequence work early so teams can correct issues before they lead to expensive rework or schedule overruns.
- Unified Portfolio Management: Provides a single dashboard to monitor and compare progress across all active construction projects in a portfolio simultaneously.
Use Cases
- Tracking construction progress against BIM plans at the component and trade level to identify schedule deviations in real time.
- Forecasting project delays based on historical production rates and adjusting resource allocation to recover lost time.
- Generating objective progress reports for CFOs, owners, and executives without relying on manual status updates.
- Managing a portfolio of construction projects from a unified dashboard to spot risks and compare performance across sites.
- Optimizing manpower scheduling by analyzing trade-level production data gathered from automated site-walk video analysis.
Pros
- Rapid, Low-Effort Setup: Teams are onboarded in under two weeks with no VDC work required—just submit your BIM files and start a site walk.
- Objective, Data-Driven Insights: Removes subjectivity from progress reporting, giving owners, executives, and project teams a shared source of truth.
- Trade-Level Granularity: Tracks production rates and progress at the individual trade and component level, enabling detailed manpower scheduling and forecasting.
- Non-Disruptive Data Capture: Uses a 360° camera mounted on a hard hat during normal site walks, requiring no change to existing workflows.
Cons
- Hardware Dependency: Requires a 360° camera for site data capture, adding a hardware component to the deployment.
- Enterprise-Only Pricing: No self-serve or transparent pricing; access requires scheduling a demo, making it less accessible for smaller contractors.
- BIM Prerequisite: The platform relies on existing BIM files as a baseline, which may be a barrier for projects without detailed digital building models.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Doxel track construction progress?
A crew member walks the site wearing a hard hat with a 360° camera. Doxel's computer vision software then analyzes the captured video to measure work-in-place for every trade, system, and schedule stage, comparing it against the project's BIM model.
How long does it take to get started with Doxel?
Doxel can onboard a new project in less than two weeks. You simply submit your BIM files, and Doxel handles all the setup work—no VDC effort is required from your team.
What hardware is needed to use Doxel?
A 360° camera that mounts to a standard hard hat is required for capturing site data. This is used during normal site walks, so it doesn't disrupt existing workflows.
Who is Doxel designed for?
Doxel is built for general contractors, project managers, superintendents, and portfolio owners who need accurate, automated construction progress data to reduce delays, avoid rework, and report confidently to owners and executives.
Can Doxel help prevent rework on construction sites?
Yes. Doxel detects incomplete or out-of-sequence work before it leads to larger problems, alerting teams early enough to correct issues and avoid costly rework.
