Plan captures, review orthomosaics, compare as-built to BIM and export LAZ, LAS, E57, GeoTIFF and PDF deliverables — all from a single app.

Integration with Your Project Stack

ViewKeeper drops into the stack you already run — no rip-and-replace. Any capture source feeds one AI engine, and the results flow straight back into your BIM, project-controls and dashboards. In most projects nothing changes for the teams already in place.

One platform between your cameras and your tools

Fixed CCTV, time-lapse, wearables, ground robots, 360° and drones all feed a single AI engine — results land back in the systems your team already uses.

What it connects to

A monitoring wall of many live CCTV and site camera feeds in a construction office

Connects any camera & feed

Pull existing CCTV and time-lapse over RTSP / ONVIF, plus wearables, ground robots, 360° and drones. A compact on-site edge unit ingests them all in parallel — no downtime, no new wiring.

The whole site, one screen

The construction landing page. A live progress percentage per tower, schedule slip indicators, open BIM deviations and critical findings run across the top, next to devices online and mean survey turnaround. Below sits a 24-hour deviation breakdown, the hottest zones ranked, and a 3D digital-twin map of the site.

Every deviation, triaged

The working queue of progress events. Each one tagged by type, with the capture and zone that caught it, a severity, a confidence score and a status. A reviewer verifies, assigns or closes, and the response clock keeps the team honest.

The site twin, at a glance

Every orthomosaic, 3D mesh and BIM overlay by site and zone, with live thumbnails, last-capture date and the deviations it raised. A reviewer sees what changed since the last survey before the morning stand-up.

04 · Stockpiles

Materials and equipment, watched

Stockpile volumes measured across the site, equipment positions tracked across captures, and material flow logged against the schedule, so the quantities the QS team audits are kept automatically to within ±1–3 cm of survey accuracy.

Site zones, drawn and enforced

Site zones drawn on the plan and the 3D model: tower footprints, lay-down areas, crane radii, restricted access. Each zone carries its own progress rules, and any deviation shows up in Events with the zone attached.
