Reconstruct vs Doxel

Two ways to monitor construction progress from site imagery. Reconstruct is a reality mapping platform that turns phone, 360 camera and drone footage into measurable 2D plans and 3D models, overlays design and links the schedule, with progress updated per activity by your team. Doxel compares hard-hat 360 video with your BIM using computer vision to measure work-in-place automatically and convert it to percent complete. Desk research from vendor pages read Oct 26, 2026; not tested, no winner.

What it doesReality mapping platform for remote quality control, progress monitoring, and facilities assessment. Vendor says it turns standard or 360 photos and video from smartphones, 360 cameras, and drones into measurable 2D floor plans, orthophotos, 3D point clouds, and mesh models, automatically positions footage in space and over time, overlays 2D and 3D design against reality (it calls the overlay technology patented), and adds 4D BIM visualization once a schedule and plans are uploaded. Progress features listed: schedule import via XML or bi-directional integrations with Oracle Primavera Cloud and Aconex, per-activity percent complete and root cause of delay with transcribed voice notes and annotated pictures, pins on issues, and on-demand progress reports. An Oracle Construction and Engineering executive is quoted on the integration with Oracle's platform. The pages we read describe reality mapping and photogrammetry rather than AI, so we tag it Not AI-first. Re-checked Oct 19, 2026: still no AI described; the navigation now leads with a Visual Command Center for seeing and measuring the structure remotely, including online as-builts that rewind construction to see inside sealed walls, and the reality-mapping page lists 360 cameras, drones, phones, Matterport and laser scanning as capture sources. Re-checked Oct 21, 2026: homepage unchanged in substance (photogrammetry and reality mapping from smartphones, 360 cameras and drones; 2D and 3D design overlay; progress monitoring; pins and collaboration; schedule integration with 4D BIM visualization; online as-builts in the Visual Command Center); still no AI described, so the tag stays. ROI percentages and customer quotes are vendor content and not used. Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: homepage and product pages unchanged in substance (photogrammetry from smartphones, 360 cameras and drones, with Matterport and laser scanning also listed; design overlay; XML or Oracle Primavera Cloud and Aconex schedule integration; 4D BIM; online as-builts); still no AI described.

You send BIM, walk the site with a 360 camera mounted to a hard hat, and Doxel measures the work in place. Product features listed include a rules-of-credit engine for % complete, progress by zone/trade/system, schedule mapping with language models, drone imagery for early phases, earned-value / pay-app support, and portfolio views. Vendor claims 11% faster project delivery, 16% reduction in monthly costs, and 95% less time tracking progress, with setup in less than 2 weeks (vendor claims, not verified).

Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: the homepage headline now reads Physical Intelligence for Construction, with the same send-BIM, hard-hat 360 walk and computer-vision steps; the product page adds an Utilities Underground Tracking tab (progress from underground to finished buildout using drone imagery), and the site menu now lists solutions by stakeholder (owners, project executives, superintendents, BIM and VDC) and by industry (data centers, health care, life sciences, manufacturing, semiconductors, oil and gas) plus a Touchplan partnership page. The 11%, 16% and 95% figures remain vendor claims and are not used. Re-checked Oct 23, 2026: the homepage still headlines Physical Intelligence for Construction; the product page is unchanged in substance (360° video compared to BIM to quantify work-in-place, a rules-of-credit engine for percent complete, language-model schedule mapping, drone-based tracking from underground to finished buildout, and earned value tracking).

Pricing FAQ says cost depends on the capabilities needed and the amount of construction (or jobsite size), and that Doxel generally charges by the square foot; quotes on request. Re-checked Oct 21, 2026: the pricing page still says Doxel does not charge by the seat, integrates with P6, Procore and Autodesk, and offers a demo or an instant quick quote; the FAQ answers did not expand in our read, so the per-square-foot basis was not re-confirmed today. Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: no price change. The pricing FAQ was readable today and again says Doxel generally charges by the square foot, with cost depending on the capabilities needed and the amount of construction or jobsite size; users are unlimited, a single jobsite is fine, and setup is under 2 weeks. Re-checked Oct 23, 2026: no price change (generally charged by the square foot, depending on capabilities and the amount of construction or jobsite size; unlimited users; a single jobsite is fine; up and running in under 2 weeks).

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • What each sells (vendor wording): Reconstruct offers a Visual Command Center to see and measure the structure from anywhere, reality mapping from virtually any capture device, 2D and 3D design integration (it calls its overlay technology patented), schedule integration, 4D scheduling and on-demand progress reports. Doxel offers automatic progress tracking, a 3D progress view, reality capture, production rates, schedule, utilities underground tracking and budget tracking.
  • How progress gets measured: Reconstruct's progress page describes updating each activity's percent complete and root cause of delay with transcribed voice notes and annotated pictures, inside a measurable digital twin you can walk remotely. Doxel says its computer vision analyzes 360 video against BIM to quantify work-in-place by trade, system and stage, and a rules-of-credit engine converts that into percent complete.
  • Setup: Doxel says you send the BIM and it does the rest with no VDC work for your team, with a crew member walking the site wearing a hard-hat 360 camera and setup in under 2 weeks. Reconstruct says virtually anyone on site can capture with a smartphone, 360 camera or drone; it also lists Matterport and laser scanning as sources.
  • Schedule and cost: Reconstruct imports schedules by XML or through bi-directional integrations with Oracle Primavera Cloud and Aconex and adds 4D BIM sequencing. Doxel says it integrates with P6, Procore and Autodesk, maps schedule activities to actual progress using language models, and links installed quantities to contract values for earned-value tracking and pay applications.
  • Beyond construction: Reconstruct also pitches online as-builts that rewind construction to see inside sealed walls, facility assessment and infrastructure inspection. Doxel's pages focus on progress, production and cost during construction.
  • AI: Doxel describes computer vision and language models at the core, so we tag it AI-first. Reconstruct's pages describe photogrammetry and reality mapping rather than AI, so we tag it Not AI-first.
  • Pricing (checked Oct 26, 2026): neither publishes figures. Reconstruct offers personalized pricing. Doxel says it generally charges by the square foot, depending on the capabilities needed and the amount of construction or jobsite size, with unlimited users and single-jobsite use allowed.
  • Not used here: Doxel's delivery-speed, cost-reduction and tracking-time percentages, Reconstruct's ROI figures and both vendors' customer quotes (vendor content).

Good or bad, an honest review from an estimator, PM or super helps the next team more than another vendor demo. You post under a handle; your email is never shown.

Questions to ask in your review

  • Whether you have a BIM model detailed enough for automated work-in-place measurement, or need progress tracking without one
  • How each handles your schedule format and update cadence
  • What you actually pay, and on what basis (neither publishes full prices)
  • What did you use it for, on what kind of work and project size?
  • How long did setup and training take, and who on your team did it?
  • What does it cost you in practice, compared with what the sales call said?
