LITHIC
Handheld scanner
The LITHIC scanner captures high-accuracy LiDAR, RGB, thermal, and IMU data in a single pass, creating precise digital records of existing site conditions with minimal disruption to ongoing construction activities.
Observance gives total sight to your site.
Built for developers, contractors, and PMCs who need to eliminate schedule delays and costly rework. Observance delivers complete visibility into what was actually built versus what was planned—powered by automated 3D spatial scanning and site AI.

The scanning platform
Observance starts on site.
Every digital construction workflow begins on-site. Observance captures precise site data through purpose-built scanning systems designed for construction environments, enabling measurable progress tracking, BIM validation and intelligent project monitoring.
LITHIC Drone
Autonomous scanning
The LITHIC scanner is deployed as a payload on a drone to capture high-accuracy aerial LiDAR, RGB, thermal, and IMU data across large sites, rooftops, façades, and inaccessible areas for repeatable site monitoring and analysis.

See the site without being on site.
Observance Eye creates a live visual record of the site through immersive walkthroughs and remote site captures. Teams can review progress, revisit past conditions, and coordinate across build stages without being on-site.
Oversight
Remote Site Monitoring
Access the latest visual state of the project from anywhere through time-aligned walkthroughs and continuously updated site captures.
Context
Spatial Progress Review
Understand how spaces, systems, and construction zones evolve across different stages of the build with synchronized visual comparisons.
Coordination
Visual Task Assignment
Convert observations directly into contextual tasks with linked imagery, annotations, comments, and tracked resolution workflows.
Record
Centralized Site Documentation
Maintain a structured visual archive of site conditions, inspections, milestones, and completed work across the project lifecycle.
The AI layer
Six AI models.
Every output Observance produces runs on purpose-built AI models trained on construction-specific data. From defect detection and IFC classification to asset identification and milestone tracking, AI helps teams understand site conditions, monitor progress, and coordinate delivery through continuously updated project records and BIM-linked workflows.
Surface and structural defect detection
Defects AI
Detects 15 construction defect types in real time across scanned surfaces, minimizing rework and downtime. Trained on over 400,000 annotated construction images.
Automated IFC classification
Mesh Segmentation AI
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
Objects AI
Identifies over 35 site objects from scan and image data to support inventory management, equipment tracking, and site operations.
Site safety monitoring
Health and Safety AI
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.
Automated progress verification
Milestone Tracking & Adaptive Scheduling
Tracks construction progress against defined milestones while schedules adapt automatically to verified site conditions. Integrates natively with BIM workflows or operates independently.
Centralized project insights
Project Analytics
Review project analytics, milestone completion, and site insights through centralized dashboards.
Automated milestones and scheduling
Scheduling built on site data
Observance tracks construction progress against defined milestones through continuously updated site data, BIM-linked workflows, and project analytics. Teams can monitor progress, review milestone completion, and coordinate schedules through a centralized tracking system.
Real-time Tracking
Monitor construction progress with automated milestone tracking and continuously updated project records.
Smart Scheduling
Project schedules adapt to changing site conditions and milestone completion status.
BIM Integration
Integrate milestone tracking with BIM workflows or manage progress independently through Observance.
Analytics Dashboard
Review project analytics and site insights through centralized monitoring and reporting tools.
Who uses Observance
Observance has the answers.
Was it built right?
Developer or Asset Owner
When accepting a building from a contractor, you need independent evidence that what was built matches the design. Observance provides a measurable site record that supports verification beyond contractor sign-off.
Can I prove it to my client?
Project Management Consultant
Your client needs documented quality assurance that goes beyond a snagging list. Observance provides structured site records, deviation reports, and defect analytics that support confident verification.
Where are we and what needs fixing?
Contractor or Site Team
Track milestone progress automatically, identify deviations early, and manage snag items through to closure. Spend less time reporting and more time delivering the project.
Is the design being executed correctly?
Architect or Design Consultant
Review site conditions against intended design intent through measurable as-built records, coordinated BIM outputs, and spatial deviation analysis across architectural and MEP systems.
Can progress and quality be independently verified?
Banks and Due Diligence Teams
Access timestamped, measurable site records for progress validation, construction monitoring, technical audits, and investment-stage reporting without relying solely on manual site updates.
