Our position
Why we build for construction
Construction runs on information that is always slightly out of date. By the time a variation reaches the cost report, the decision that caused it is weeks old. We build systems that shorten that loop: capture at the point of work, progress measured from what is actually built, and a single view of cost, programme and risk.
Regulations we design against
- Construction Regulations 2014 (OHS Act)
- Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993
- CIDB standards for uniformity in construction procurement
- National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act 103 of 1977
- JBCC and FIDIC contractual record-keeping requirements
- Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA)
Challenges
What people in this sector actually raise
These are the problems that come up in a first meeting, with the cost of leaving each one unaddressed.
- 01Weak contractual position when claims are disputed
Paper-based site records
Site diaries, inspections and variations captured on paper and entered days later, if at all.
- 02Overruns discovered a month after they became unavoidable
Cost and programme divergence
The schedule and the cost report maintained separately and reconciled monthly.
- 03Disputes, delays and payment friction
Subcontractor coordination
Progress, compliance and payment tracked over email and WhatsApp with no system of record.
- 04Compliance exposure and unverifiable records
Health and safety compliance
Inductions, permits and toolbox talks recorded on paper across multiple site entrances.
- 05Payment applications and forecasts built on unreliable input
Progress measurement
Percentage complete estimated subjectively and optimistically.
What we build
Systems for construction operations
Mobile site capture
Diaries, inspections, snags and variations captured offline at the point of work with photographs and GPS.
Integrated project controls
Cost, programme and earned value in one model with a single source of progress.
Subcontractor portal
Progress claims, compliance documents and payment status in a shared system of record.
Digital induction and permits
Site access controlled by verified induction and valid permit, checked at the gate.
Drone and photogrammetry progress
Objective progress measurement from regular aerial capture compared against the model.
Document and drawing control
Version-controlled drawings with issue tracking and confirmed receipt.
AI opportunities
Where AI genuinely pays in this sector
Ranked by how proven the approach is. We are explicit about what is experimental, because deploying an experiment as though it were proven is how AI programmes lose credibility.
Progress estimation from imagery
emergingAutomated percentage-complete measurement from site photography and drone capture.
Typical returnObjective valuations and fewer payment disputesPPE and safety compliance detection
provenVision monitoring of PPE compliance and exclusion zones at active work fronts.
Typical return40–60% reduction in observed violationsVariation and claim classification
emergingAutomatic extraction and categorisation of variation instructions from correspondence.
Typical returnStronger contemporaneous records for claimsSchedule risk simulation

Questions
Construction — common questions
The questions we are asked most often by operators in this sector.
Will it work on a site with no network coverage?
Yes. Site capture is fully offline and syncs when a device reaches coverage, which on most projects is the site office or the gate.Can subcontractors use it without licences?
Yes. Subcontractor access is included in the project, so there is no per-seat barrier to the people whose data you actually need.Do you integrate with CCS Candy or BuildSmart?
Yes, where an integration path exists. Otherwise we provide structured exports aligned to your cost-code structure.How is drone data handled?
Captured on a regular cycle, processed into a point cloud and compared against the model or previous capture to produce objective progress by area.
