Doxel delivers real ROI for construction teams tired of manual progress tracking. Its computer vision approach is objective and data-rich, but requires a BIM model and physical site walk. Best for large projects where schedule and budget visibility matter most.

Pick Doxel if you manage complex construction projects and need objective, automated progress tracking that catches delays early. It shines for GCs and owners who want real-time insights into work-in-place across trades without manual data collection. The 95% time saving on tracking is a game-changer for field teams. Pass if your projects are small, don't use BIM, or you lack a crew member to walk the site with the camera. Also not ideal if you need a fully drone-based solution. Compared to manual progress tracking (daily reports, Gantt charts), Doxel eliminates subjectivity and provides production rates that help forecast. However, the need for a BIM model and initial setup (under 2 weeks) might be friction for some. A real-world caveat: The 360 camera requires a person to walk the site – for very large or hazardous sites, drone integration would be a plus. Also, pricing is not public, so you'll need to get a demo. Overall, Doxel is a practical AI tool built by builders for builders, with clear evidence from early adopters like DPR Construction and Sundt.

How likely is Doxel to still be operational in 12 months? Based on 6 signals including funding, development activity, and platform risk.
Doxel is a physical intelligence platform that automates construction progress tracking using computer vision. It compares BIM models against actual site conditions captured via a 360-degree camera worn by a crew member. The AI measures work-in-place for every trade, system, and stage, delivering objective, real-time data. General contractors, project managers, and owners use Doxel to catch delays early, recover faster, and avoid rework by quickly comparing plans with actual progress broken down by component, system, and schedule. Specific features include automated progress tracking, 3D progress view, reality capture, production rates, and schedule vs. budget analysis. With Doxel, teams save 95% of time spent tracking progress while reducing monthly costs by 16% and accelerating project delivery by 11%. Unlike manual methods or other construction tech, Doxel provides a unified portfolio view and historical production rates to help builders improve performance across projects.

Concrete scenarios for the personas Doxel actually fits — and what changes day-one when you adopt it.
Weekly progress meeting prep
Outcome: Upload latest 360 walk footage, get automated report of installed vs. planned quantities per trade, and present objective data to owner — no manual counting.
Portfolio-wide schedule risk assessment
Outcome: Log into Doxel dashboard to see all projects, identify which ones are behind schedule, and drill into component-level production rates to prioritize resources.
Model validation and rework prevention
Outcome: Compare as-built camera data to BIM model weekly, catch out-of-sequence MEP installations early, and update the model to reflect actual conditions.
Doxel requires a 360-degree camera walk of the site, which adds equipment and process overhead. The system depends on having a current BIM model for comparison. Pricing is custom per square foot, so cost for small projects may be disproportionately high. Only available for construction sites where camera walks are feasible and safe.

Custom
Ideal for
Owners and general contractors on large-scale projects (data centers, healthcare, manufacturing) with existing BIM models who need automated progress tracking.
What this tier adds
Starting tier — all features included, pricing custom per square foot, unlimited users, no VDC work required.
The company stage and team size where Doxel's pricing actually pencils out — and where peers do it cheaper.
Doxel’s custom per-square-foot pricing suits large projects over 50k sq ft where savings justify cost. For smaller jobs, free or low-cost options like Swapp or manual BIM-based tools exist. Doxel offers unlimited users and no per-seat fees, which benefits large teams.
How long it actually takes to get something useful out of Doxel — broken out by persona, not the marketing-page minute.
From contract to first usable data: less than 2 weeks. You only need to provide the BIM model. Doxel handles VDC setup, camera provisioning, and user onboarding. Superintendents start walking the site immediately after a brief training session.
