Keep projects on track with real-time as-built vs. design comparison
Compare your site’s actual conditions to design plans in real-time, identify discrepancies, and optimize your workflow to keep everything aligned.
Your platform for real time design comparisons
Upload your CAD files, point clouds, or digital blueprints and use our intuitive tools to visualize and measure differences with the latest survey data. With accurate, up-to-date information, you’ll have the insights you need to keep the project on course with reliable as-built vs. design comparison.
Ensure design conformance and make better decisions
Stay ahead of the curve by ensuring your site is always aligned with your plans using Propeller’s construction design conformance software.
Visualize design vs. actual
Compare designs with actual site data in real time for better decision-making using 3D models and survey overlays.
Improve project accuracy
Make data-backed adjustments to keep the project aligned with goals and enable earthwork design validation.
Boost collaboration and efficiency
Share real-time updates with your team to keep everyone aligned and informed—ensuring real-time project tracking against design.
