AI construction documentation
Free
Proof of construction progress for infrastructure expansion projects - simple and valid with verspire!
This app supports construction managers directly on site in documenting the current construction progress using LiDAR scans and photos: simply select the project, check the GPS signal and record the data. The special feature: the uploaded data is further processed using statistical methods and AI-based evaluation algorithms. This allows us to determine the width, depth, length and resulting excavation volume - completely automatically!
verspire checks the validity and access authorization of the projects and documents the progress of the construction site on our associated platform.
An internet connection is required for the first login and for each upload.
