CAI-05 Field capture & progress AI tools
Tools for capturing jobsite conditions and interpreting visual records for construction progress tracking. CAI numbers are internal workflow directory groups, not CSI MasterFormat divisions.
Field capture tools turn jobsite imagery (360° walks, drone flights or fixed cameras) into visual records and progress comparisons. Listed products include OpenSpace Capture, Buildots, Doxel, DroneDeploy Progress AI and Track3D ProgressTrack. They differ mainly in capture method and in what they compare progress against, such as BIM models or schedules.
7 category appearances. Products listed in multiple groups are counted once per group.
How to compare tools in this category
Decide how your crews will realistically capture (helmet 360° camera, drone, phone). Then check whether a BIM model or schedule is required, how long reports take, and whether a person reviews progress results before you see them.

Frequently asked questions
What does Field capture & progress cover?
Tools for capturing jobsite conditions and interpreting visual records for construction progress tracking. CAI numbers are internal workflow directory groups, not CSI MasterFormat divisions.
Do I need a BIM model for AI progress tracking?
It depends on the product. Some listings describe comparing against BIM and schedules; confirm requirements with each provider.
How should I pilot a progress tracking tool?
Pick an area your team has already assessed by hand and compare the tool's report against it.
Is percent complete from AI good enough for pay applications?
Treat it as supporting evidence and confirm with your team and contract requirements.
Why can the same tool appear in more than one category?
Tools can serve more than one construction workflow. Category counts represent appearances, not additional unique products.
Do partner links affect which tools appear?
No. Partner status does not affect inclusion, categories, or ordering. Some provider visits may use affiliate links; we may earn a commission if you buy.
