LITHIC
Handheld scanner
Engineers walk the site with LITHIC, capturing LiDAR, RGB, thermal, and IMU data simultaneously, stored on an integrated SSD. No site preparation required. A 50,000 sq ft floor takes approximately 45 minutes to complete.

Observance captures every surface, every scan, every build stage as a precise, measurable, comparable record. From the ground up.
Our legacy
Before a model exists, a scan does. Observance captures the physical site with two instruments designed for construction, not adapted to it.

Autonomous scanning
Drones follow pre-programmed routes for complete exterior and interior coverage. Outputs are georeferenced to one-meter accuracy on Google Maps. GPS-denied navigation, obstacle avoidance, 20-minute flight time, and mission automation.
Measurement accuracy
50,000 sq ft. No prep.
Scanned to date
Completed this week
LITHIC or LITHIC Drone captures LiDAR, RGB, thermal, and IMU data across every surface. No pre-cleaning. No disruption to site operations.

Every Observance scan produces a fully interactive 3D model of the site. The model updates every time a new scan is completed, so what you see always reflects the current state of the build.

What Observance produces
As-built BIM
3D mesh model, segmented BIM, and as-built output at LOD300, LOD350, and LOD400. Exportable to Revit and compatible with Autodesk web viewers.
Deviation analysis
As-built model compared against design BIM using colour-coded deviation textures. Floor plan and geometric deviation reports generated per scan.

The AI layer
Every output Observance produces runs on purpose-built AI models trained on construction-specific data. Not adapted from general-purpose systems. Trained on site.
Surface and structural defect detection
Detects 15 construction defect types in real time across scanned surfaces, minimising rework and downtime. Trained on over 400,000 annotated construction images.
Automated IFC classification
Segments 3D mesh data into 10 IFC classes automatically, simplifying Mesh-to-BIM conversion and removing the need for manual classification at every scan.
Site inventory and asset identification
Identifies over 35 site objects from scan and image data to support inventory management, equipment tracking, and site operations.
Site safety monitoring
Uses facial recognition for real-time attendance tracking and access control. Detects PPE compliance and flags unknown persons on site. Generates automated attendance and safety reports.

Was it built right?
You are accepting a building from a contractor. You need independent, measured evidence that what was built matches what was designed. Observance gives you a spatial, quantified record that does not rely on the contractor's own sign-off.

Can I prove it to my client?
Your client needs documented quality assurance, not a walked snagging list. Observance produces a structured, comparable record of every scanned surface, with deviation reports and defect analytics your client can rely on and verify.

Where are we and what needs fixing?
Progress against milestones is tracked automatically. Deviations are flagged with coordinates and magnitude before they compound. Snag items are mapped in 3D, assigned as tasks, and tracked to closure. Your team spends less time reporting.
“Observance's thermal analytics provide deep, non-intrusive insights into construction quality, allowing us to proactively safeguard the long-term integrity of our developments.”
