Doxel vs Hexagon Multivista Building Progress Reporting

Two ways to get progress measured from 360° site imagery compared with a 3D model. Doxel is a progress tracking product: you send the BIM, walk the site with a hard-hat 360 camera, and computer vision measures work-in-place by trade, system and stage, with production rates, schedule mapping and earned value views. Hexagon Multivista Building Progress Reporting is a service: you provide an NWD model and a P6 or Excel schedule, 360° photos are captured by Multivista or your team, Hexagon's technology detects progress and analysts check every update before reports are published. Partly like-for-like (our reading): the outcome is similar, but one is a software product you run and the other is a managed reporting service. Desk research from vendor sites read Oct 31, 2026; no winner.

What it doesAutomated progress tracking under the headline Physical Intelligence for Construction: you send the BIM (no VDC work), walk the site with a 360 camera mounted to a hard hat, and Doxel's computer vision compares the video with the model to measure work-in-place by trade, system, component and stage. Product features listed include a rules-of-credit engine for percent complete, a 3D progress view, progress by zone, trade and system, production rates and delay forecasts from historic production rates, out-of-sequence work flags, schedule mapping described as powered by language models, drone-based tracking from dirt work (including Utilities Underground Tracking from underground to finished buildout), earned-value budget and pay-app support, and portfolio views. Solutions are listed by stakeholder (owners, project executives, superintendents, BIM and VDC) and industry (data centers, health care, life sciences, manufacturing, semiconductors, oil and gas), plus a Touchplan partnership page. Delivery-speed, cost and time-saving percentages and customer quotes are vendor claims not used here.Compares 360° site photos with the 3D model and schedule to report progress by trade, floor or system. This progress reporting service from Hexagon Multivista uses automated model-to-photo comparison of 360° photos against a federated 3D model (NWD) and a project schedule (P6 or Excel), marking model elements built or unbuilt and reporting progress by trade, floor, or system, with email alerts when a report is ready. Hexagon says its technology detects progress automatically and expert analysts QA every update. Its FAQ says building progress reporting requires an NWD model, a P6 or Excel schedule, and 360° photos from approved apps such as Multivista or Hexagon GoCapture; drone and SLR photos are not supported. The FAQ gives two setup answers (up to 6-8 weeks, and up to eight weeks) and two turnaround answers (typically 48-72 hours after images are posted, and usually within 48 hours), so confirm both with Hexagon. The same page also advertises "agnostic data inputs" (360° photos, LiDAR scans or third-party tools, self-captured or Multivista-captured), which is broader than its FAQ; Hexagon's GoCapture app lets project teams self-capture 360° photos, 360° walks or 2D photos mapped to floor plans and BIM in its Analyze Hub. Lists compatibility with Autodesk ACC, Procore, Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project, up to 10 years of data hosting, and industries including healthcare, data centers and education. It sits in Hexagon Multivista's Analyze services alongside deviation analysis (which Hexagon describes as an AI-driven model-to-scan comparison) and UAV-based earthwork progress reporting. Separately, Hexagon announced on Oct 6, 2022 that it would integrate AVVIR's AI-powered technology into its construction portfolio; we did not find a Hexagon page naming AVVIR as the engine of this service.

Pricing (as publicly stated)Not publicly listed. The pricing FAQ says cost depends on the capabilities you need and the amount of construction you do or the size of the jobsite, and that Doxel generally charges by the square foot. Users are unlimited (not charged by the seat), Doxel can be used on a single jobsite, it integrates with P6, Procore and Autodesk, and the vendor says it takes under 2 weeks to get running.

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • Inputs: Doxel asks for the BIM and a hard-hat 360 camera walk, and says no VDC work is needed from your team; it also lists drone imagery for early phases and Utilities Underground Tracking. Hexagon's FAQ asks for a federated NWD model, a P6 or Excel schedule and 360° photos from approved apps such as Multivista or Hexagon GoCapture, and says drone and SLR photos are not supported; the same service page also advertises agnostic data inputs (360° photos, LiDAR scans or third-party tools), so confirm accepted inputs with Hexagon (vendor statements).
  • How progress is measured: Doxel says it compares 360° video to BIM to quantify work-in-place and converts field work to percent complete with a rules-of-credit engine, with schedule mapping it describes as powered by language models. Hexagon says its technology detects progress automatically by comparing photos to the model and expert analysts QA every update, with reports by trade, floor or system (vendor statements).
  • Setup and turnaround: Doxel says you can be up and running in less than 2 weeks. Hexagon's FAQ says setup can take up to 6-8 weeks depending on project complexity and that reports are typically available 48-72 hours after images are posted, while another FAQ answer says usually within 48 hours; confirm with Hexagon (vendor statements).
  • Integrations and records: Doxel lists P6, Procore and Autodesk. Hexagon lists Autodesk ACC, Procore, Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project compatibility, email alerts when a report is ready and up to 10 years of project data hosting (vendor statements).
  • AI (our reading): Doxel is AI-first; Hexagon Multivista adds automated detection to an established capture and reporting service, with people reviewing every update.
  • Pricing (checked Oct 31, 2026): neither publishes prices. Doxel's pricing FAQ says it generally charges by the square foot, depending on capabilities and the amount of construction or jobsite size, with unlimited users and use on a single jobsite allowed. Hexagon shows no pricing link (/pricing returns not found) and routes to Book a demo.
  • Not used here: Doxel's delivery-speed, cost and time-saving percentages and customer quotes, and Hexagon's customer testimonials (vendor material). Facts for both come from vendor websites (desk research).
