Symetri is partnering with Oculo, provider of a digital construction solution which uses AI to provide a single source of truth for construction projects and on-site progress.
The partnership allows Symetri to offer customers greater project visibility, with benefits ranging from better issue management, easy BIM model comparison and faster decision-making. It also provides a visual as-built record that can be referred back to post-construction or passed on to building owners.
Oculo does this by transforming the footage it gets from simple-to-use hard-hat cameras into an up-to-date 360° "streetview" of the construction site that can be viewed and navigated through online. This allows the user to pick any point on the floor plan and then see, within a few clicks, what the site currently looks like. Doing this repeatedly over the course of the project then gives the ability to look back in time to see what work had been completed at a specific date, or to see what lies beneath walls and areas subsequently closed up.
Oculo also integrates with Autodesk's BIM 360, which allows the Oculo footage to be seamlessly embedded into the existing issue management and snagging workflows that teams are already familiar with.
