Audit-proof 3D construction documentation
Minimize construction risks and liability cases. We track your construction progress seamlessly through digital 360° twins – for maximum transparency towards investors, builders, and project management.
Our professional service: Audit-proof 3D construction documentation for convincing marketing and maximum reach.
Strategic Value of Digital Construction Documentation
Defense against unjustified supplementary claims and comprehensive evidence preservation in warranty claims.
Virtual construction site inspections drastically reduce travel times for project developers and investors.
Centimeter-accurate documentation of concealed technical building equipment (TGA) before closure.
How we work together
Tracking Setup
Definition of the recording intervals (e.g., shell construction, rough installation) synchronized with the construction schedule.
Field Capture
High-speed 360° scan of the construction sections by our technicians before the closure of the trades.
Data Processing
Algorithmic linking of the scans into a navigable, temporally versioned digital twin.
Collaboration & Release
Provision of the data for the project manager for digital acceptance and defect localization.
Digital construction site tracking for professional developers
The coordination of complex construction projects entails enormous financial risks. Inadequate documentation inevitably leads to costly change orders and liability disputes. With our digital construction documentation, we capture the construction phases of your asset in high-resolution 360° scans. Project management receives a continuously updated digital twin of the construction site to verify construction progress, track defects, and perform target-actual comparisons with the BIM model in real time.
Simple Process
You send us photos, plans or scans - we deliver the finished assets in handover formats for web, exposé and portals.
Pricing
Revision-proof 3D construction documentation and progress monitoring for builders and developers.
What's included:
- Regular 360° capture of construction progress
- Georeferenced localization on 2D floor plans
- Issue Tracking & Deficiency Management via Tags
- Target-Actual Comparison Tools (BIM Overlay)
- Long-term archiving & GDPR-compliant anonymization
Short & clear
Essential risk management for general contractors, project developers, and technical asset management.

Häufige Fragen (FAQ)
Digital Risk Management: Strategically Eliminate Construction Delays and Change Orders
The execution of large-scale construction projects resembles a complex clockwork. When general contractors (GCs), architects, specialist planners, and dozens of subcontractors come together, communication breakdowns and construction delays are almost inevitable. The bitter reality: a large portion of financial losses (CapEx overruns) in the development process results from unclear evidence, unjustified change requests, and inadequate documentation of hidden construction defects. Traditional 2D photo series by site managers fall short here – they are subjective, incomplete, and often not legally verifiable. FotoEstate redefines construction documentation. With high-frequency, geo-referenced 360° scans, we create a continuously growing Digital Twin of your construction site. This serves as a revision-proof single source of truth for all project stakeholders and proactively protects your investment from liability risks.
1. Seamless evidence preservation (As-Built Tracking)
In the case of construction delays or warranty disputes, only one thing matters: indisputable evidence. Through our regular 360° scans – for example, weekly or linked to milestones in the construction schedule – a seamless, visual history of the building is created. Project developers and builders can precisely prove the condition in which a specific trade (e.g., shell construction, drywall, painting) was left on a particular date. This visual time-travel function ('Time Machine') immediately removes the legal basis from illegitimate claim management attempts by subcontractors and secures your budgets.
2. Centimeter-precise documentation of the MEP
One of the most critical moments on any construction site is the closing of walls, suspended ceilings, and floor shafts. The technical building equipment (TGA) – that is, pipes, ventilation ducts, sprinkler systems, and electrical installations – disappears invisibly into the building structure. We carry out a high-resolution 360° scan immediately before this closing process. This creates an invaluable asset for future facility management (FM) and technical asset management: During future renovations, major refurbishments, or leaks, technicians know down to the centimeter exactly where drilling is allowed and where lines run, without having to carry out expensive test drillings.
3. Remote Project Management and Collaboration
The physical monitoring of nationwide or international construction projects consumes enormous travel costs and ties up valuable management resources. Our digital construction site tours move the construction meeting to the cloud. Site managers, architects, and investors can virtually walk through the asset on-screen at any time, measure distances directly in the 3D space, and visually mark defects with tags (annotations). Through open interfaces (APIs), these issues can be seamlessly exported into common construction software such as Procore, PlanRadar, or Dalux. This drastically accelerates approval processes and secures the critical path of the construction schedule.
4. Target-Actual Comparison through BIM Overlays (Clash Detection)
The digital twin unfolds its full potential when integrated with planning. We offer advanced BIM overlays, where the original CAD or Revit model (target state) is precisely overlaid on the 360° scan (current state). Specialists can immediately identify geometric deviations (clashes) – for example, if a beam was poured lower than planned or a ventilation shaft collides. Such deviations can be corrected early, long before subsequent trades arrive on the construction site and expensive work stoppages (standby costs) threaten.
5. Audit-proof handover to investors
The sales process (exit) or the handover to the end investor marks the pinnacle of project development. Instead of dusty file folders, you hand over a fully navigable digital twin of the building – including all historical construction phases. This is not only a huge vote of confidence for the buyer, but also significantly enhances the asset as a 'smart building.' GDPR-compliant anonymization (pixelation of the construction workers' faces) as well as secure cloud hosting on European servers ensure the highest compliance for institutional data rooms.
