According to a 2024 McKinsey report, large construction projects across asset classes typically take 20% longer to finish than scheduled and are up to 80% over budget.

These numbers represent more than just data—they reflect billions in lost revenue, missed deadlines, reputational risk, and an industry struggling to embrace transformative change.

Why Has the Industry Not Solved This?

Despite the urgency, the construction industry continues to lag in adopting digital tools. McKinsey notes: "The industry has not yet embraced new digital technologies that need up-front investment, even if the long-term benefits are significant."

In an industry where every delay costs money and every defect risks reputation, relying solely on manual processes and traditional oversight is no longer viable.

Enter Observance: Your AI-Powered Site Engineer

Observance isn’t just another software—it’s your intelligent digital site engineer, working tirelessly 24/7. By combining cutting-edge AI, sensor fusion, and real-time analytics, it delivers unparalleled insights and proactive control over construction projects.

It's a digital PMC (Project Management Consultant) platform that transforms how construction projects are planned, tracked, and completed.

Built for Precision: Technology Behind Observance

Observance is powered by LITHIC scanners, which combine LiDAR, RGB, Thermal, and IMU sensors to capture and process site data with ultra-high accuracy. This allows for:

Precise Digital Twins: Create highly accurate 3D and 2D As-built models from real-time scans.

Thermal Insights: Detect issues like moisture accumulation, leakages, or insulation gaps long before they become visible.

Deviation Alerts: Instantly detect mismatches between site conditions and architectural plans.

360° Remote Walkthroughs: View and assess your construction site from any location.

Faster Builds with Fewer Errors: Reduce rework, delays, and cost overruns with data-backed decisions.

Integrated Tech Ecosystem to Prevent Cost Overruns

Observance is not just a product—it’s an ecosystem built to improve every layer of construction oversight:

Automated Scanning Schedule

Scans are auto-scheduled based on project timelines and milestones, ensuring seamless site monitoring without manual coordination.

Custom Site Scanning Hardware

Inkers' proprietary, scalable, and cost-effective hardware ensures reliable data capture even under harsh on-site conditions.

Sensor Fusion Technology

Combines data from multiple sensors—LiDAR for structure, RGB for visuals, Thermal for anomalies, IMU for orientation—to build a holistic site view.

AI-Powered 3D Processing

Analyses fused data to flag layout inconsistencies, detect structural deviations, and track spatial accuracy.

AI Image Analysis

Advanced computer vision detects micro-defects such as cracks, concrete flaws, delamination, honeycombing, and rebar exposure—highlighted directly on the 3D model.

Seamless BIM Integration

Outputs directly into BIM, IFC, and SketchUp formats for compatibility with industry-standard tools.

Insight-Driven Site Reports

Generates actionable reports with project progress, site health, and recommended interventions—automatically.

Core Features That Set Observance Apart

Competitive Financial Advantage You Can't Ignore

Traditionally, inspecting 50,000 sq.ft of construction area requires 10–12 days, multiple personnel, and tedious preparation. Observance reduces this to a few hours—with no prep and far superior accuracy.

Its ROI is immediate and multifaceted:

Shorter build cycles

Fewer defects and reduced rework

Lower inspection and oversight costs

More confident stakeholder reporting

Observance is more than just technology—it’s a business advantage that pays for itself.

Build Smarter, Not Harder

The construction industry doesn’t need more eyes on the job—it needs smarter ones.

Observance allows project managers, contractors, and developers to make proactive decisions, reduce unnecessary expenses, and uphold the highest standards of quality.

It is the ultimate AI-powered construction control tower for today’s demands and tomorrow’s scale.
