Throughout the COVID-19 crisis, construction projects have suffered enormous disruptions, including worldwide site shutdowns and restricted job site access. The crisis has necessitated huge changes across the U.S. construction industry, with a renewed emphasis, in particular, on worker and site safety. Experts say many of these shifts will remain in place even after the pandemic subsides. To help the construction industry contend with these challenges, our portfolio company StructionSite is offering their automated construction site capture software free for 60 days to any company that needs to quickly document job sites. The Structionsite platform uses cameras and artificial intelligence to capture data from construction sites, enabling contractors to track progress and avoid risk to keep projects moving even during social distancing.
How it works
StructionSite's platform gives distributed project teams complete, 360-degree access their job sites at any time, from any device. Contractors can walk the site while recording video to collect a wealth of in-the-moment project knowledge. This data is then easily shared across disparate teams during the course of construction. With SmartTrack®, StructionSite's upcoming product, image data is quantified using computer vision and machine learning, allowing project teams to easily see and visualize the daily status of work completed for specific trades.
How to access the platform
You can sign up for free 60-day access to StructionSite on their website. Once your account is activated, you’ll be able to access the platform by downloading the iOS or Google Play app for your mobile device, and through the web app at App.StructionSite.com. If you choose to stop using the system after 60 days, you can fully export all your project data, including drawings and hyperlinked 360 photos, in an offline format for archiving.
Spread the word
Now more than ever, the data collected with this service will be critical to contractors as the industry shifts to post-pandemic business operations. If you know any project stakeholders who might benefit, please feel free to share the news about StructionSite’s offer.
