What it doesCompares 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. 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; setup can take up to 6-8 weeks; and reports are typically available 48-72 hours after images are posted. Lists compatibility with Autodesk ACC, Procore, Primavera P6, and Microsoft Project, and up to 10 years of data hosting. 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. Re-read Oct 17, 2026: the same service 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. Re-checked Oct 19, 2026: the service page is unchanged in substance (NWD model, P6 or Excel schedule, approved 360° apps, drone and SLR photos not supported, setup up to 6-8 weeks, reports typically 48-72 hours after images are posted, email alerts when a report is ready); one FAQ answer on the same page says reports are usually ready within 48 hours, so confirm turnaround with Hexagon. The 2022 AVVIR press release was not re-read today (hexagon.com returned an access-denied response). Re-checked Oct 20, 2026: the service page is unchanged in substance (NWD model, P6 or Excel schedule, 360° photos captured by Multivista or the project team, approved apps only, drone and SLR photos not supported, reports by trade, floor or system, email alerts, up to 10 years of hosting, ACC, Procore, Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project compatibility). The FAQ still gives two turnaround answers (typically 48-72 hours, and usually within 48 hours) and two setup answers (up to 6-8 weeks, and up to eight weeks); confirm with Hexagon. Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: the service page is unchanged in substance (NWD model, P6 or Excel schedule, 360° photos from approved apps, drone and SLR photos not supported, agnostic data inputs also advertised, analysts QA every update, email alerts, up to 10 years of hosting, ACC, Procore, Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project compatibility); the FAQ still gives both turnaround answers (typically 48-72 hours, and usually within 48 hours) and both setup answers (up to 6-8 weeks, and up to eight weeks). The site menu now lists a Getting Ahead with AI section on how AI supports owners (not read). Re-checked Oct 23, 2026: the service page is unchanged in substance (NWD model, P6 or Excel schedule, 360° photos from approved apps, drone and SLR photos not supported, agnostic data inputs also advertised, analysts QA every update, email alerts, up to 10 years of hosting, ACC, Procore, Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project compatibility); both turnaround answers (typically 48-72 hours, and usually within 48 hours) and both setup answers (up to 6-8 weeks, and up to eight weeks) remain. The page now also names healthcare, data centers and education as industries. Re-checked Oct 25, 2026: the service page is unchanged in substance (NWD model, P6 or Excel schedule, 360° photos from approved apps such as Multivista or Hexagon GoCapture, drone and SLR photos not supported, analysts QA every update, up to 10 years of hosting, ACC, Procore, Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project compatibility; healthcare and data centers among listed industries); the FAQ still gives both turnaround answers (typically 48-72 hours, and usually within 48 hours) and both setup answers (up to 6-8 weeks, and up to eight weeks).Visual intelligence platform that turns site photos, video, 360 walks and drone flights into one visual record, with add-on progress tracking. Captures include photos, video, voice notes, 360 walks, and drone flights, with plan and model comparison, issue and RFI resolution, BIM coordination, and AI workflows. Progress tracking is sold as OpenSpace Track, an add-on: vendor describes AI-powered tracking with humans in the loop, 700+ visual components across 200+ schedule tasks, schedule support for P6, MS Project, Asta, and Excel, no BIM required (a model can be added), and progress reports 24-48 hours after capture; it says imagery is ready in 15 minutes on average and a 25,000 sq. ft. capture typically takes 10 minutes (vendor claims). Integrations named: Procore, Autodesk, Revizto. Vendor cites 77 billion square feet captured and 132 countries served (vendor claims). Re-checked Oct 20, 2026: the homepage now calls it the Visual Intelligence Platform, organised as Capture, Coordinate and Act (spot schedule risk earlier, automate routine work with AI and connect field data to business systems); it still names Procore, Autodesk and Revizto integrations and the 77 billion square feet and 132 countries figures (vendor claims), and lists OpenSpace at Procore Groundbreak 2026 in Orlando (Oct 20). The Track page still describes AI tracking with humans in the loop, 700+ visual components across 200+ schedule tasks, no BIM required and imagery ready in 15 minutes on average (vendor claim). Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: homepage unchanged in substance (Visual Intelligence Platform organised as Capture, Coordinate and Act; Procore, Autodesk and Revizto integrations; the same 77 billion square feet and 132 countries figures, vendor claims), with a Waypoint 2026 on-demand banner and AI Agents & APIs and Data Centers pages in the navigation (not read); the Track page still describes AI tracking with humans in the loop, no BIM required, imagery ready in 15 minutes on average (vendor claim) and P6, MS Project, Asta and Excel schedule support. Customer-story percentages not used. Re-checked Oct 23, 2026: homepage unchanged in substance (Visual Intelligence Platform organised as Capture, Coordinate and Act; Procore, Autodesk and Revizto integrations; square-footage and country figures are vendor claims); the Track page still describes AI tracking with expert human review, no BIM required, 700+ visual components across 200+ schedule tasks, Spotlights alerts on unfinished work, P6, MS Project, Asta and Excel schedule support, and progress reports 24 to 48 hours after capture (vendor claim).

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • What you buy: Hexagon Multivista Building Progress Reporting is a service. Hexagon says its technology compares 360° photos against your federated 3D model and schedule automatically and expert analysts QA every update. OpenSpace is a capture platform (Core or Enterprise) with OpenSpace Track sold as an add-on that, per the vendor, pairs AI tracking with expert human review.
  • Inputs: Hexagon's FAQ 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. OpenSpace says BIM is not required for Track (a model can inform it), works from 360° captures, and supports P6, MS Project, Asta, Excel and Gantt schedules.
  • Turnaround and setup: Hexagon's FAQ gives two turnaround answers (typically 48-72 hours after images are posted, and usually within 48 hours) and says setup can take up to 6-8 weeks. OpenSpace says Track reports arrive 24-48 hours after capture and imagery is ready in about 15 minutes on average. All vendor claims, not tested.
  • Scope: Hexagon reports progress by trade, floor or system, lists compatibility with Autodesk ACC, Procore, Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project, and offers up to 10 years of data hosting. OpenSpace says Track covers 700+ visual components across 200+ schedule tasks, adds Spotlights alerts on unfinished work, and names Procore, Autodesk and Revizto integrations.
  • Pricing shape: neither publishes prices. Hexagon routes to Book a demo. OpenSpace prices by annual construction volume and tier, not per user or per project, with Track as an add-on and a Core pilot available on request.
  • Not used here: customer testimonials (including a dollar figure on Hexagon's page), square-footage and country counts, and ROI figures.
