What Buildots does
Buildots is designed for objective progress control on large, data-rich projects. A site team records recurring walks with a 360° camera; Buildots maps the imagery, recognizes installed elements and work states, and presents progress at trade, activity, location, and portfolio levels.
It is not a plug-and-play camera app. The BIM, schedule, location breakdown, and measurable work states must be prepared and agreed, and the site has to maintain coverage. That setup can be worthwhile where early production and delay signals matter more than simple visual documentation.
Pricing visibilityContact sales
Buildots uses project- or enterprise-specific pricing. Hardware, data preparation, implementation, measurable scope, and reporting services should be confirmed in the proposal.

Before the demo
What stands out, and what to pin down
What stands out on paper
- Creates a repeatable progress record from ordinary site walks
- Connects visual evidence to model locations and schedule activities
- Surfaces production trends before the next formal schedule update
Questions for the vendor
- Requires a usable BIM, schedule, location structure, and agreed measurable scope
- Computer-vision percentages should be governed and reconciled before they drive payment or contractual conclusions
- Initial model mapping and recurring capture routines add project overhead
Integrations
Named connections
Project BIM and schedule dataBuildots Data Connector
An integration name alone does not tell you which records move, in which direction, or how often. Ask to see the exact workflow you need using representative data.
Support

Availability and response commitments can vary by plan, region, and contract. Put required onboarding, training, support hours, and escalation times in the proposal.
