AI for Construction Site Photos

Construction projects generate thousands of site photos daily — from superintendents' phones, safety managers' cameras, time-lapse installations, and drone flights. Without AI, these photos are dumped into folders organized by date, and finding a specific photo from three months ago means scrolling through hundreds of images hoping to recognize the relevant one.

AI organizes site photos by recognizing what they contain — identifying the building area, the trade work visible, the construction phase, and even specific building elements like structural steel, formwork, MEP rough-in, or finished surfaces. This automatic tagging makes every photo searchable by content rather than just by date and folder location.

Progress documentation is the highest-value application. AI compares photos taken at different dates to track construction progress, creating visual timelines that show how each area of the building evolved from foundation to completion. When a dispute arises about when a particular condition was visible or when a particular trade completed their work, AI-organized photo records provide timestamped visual evidence that supports factual resolution.
