Reconstruct vs Hexagon Multivista Building Progress Reporting

Two ways to track building progress from site imagery against the model and schedule. Reconstruct is a reality mapping platform that turns photos and video from phones, 360 cameras and drones into measurable 2D plans and 3D models, overlays design on reality and tracks per-activity progress against an imported schedule. Hexagon Multivista Building Progress Reporting is a service that compares 360 photos from approved apps with a federated NWD model and a P6 or Excel schedule, marks elements built or unbuilt and has analysts QA every update. Neither publishes prices. Desk research from vendor pages read Oct 29, 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.

The unfinished template text is still on the homepage, noted only.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. 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 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).

Re-checked Oct 27, 2026: page unchanged in substance (requires NWD 3D models, a P6 or Excel schedule and 360 photos from Multivista or Hexagon GoCapture; drone and SLR photos not supported; ACC, Procore, Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project compatibility; up to 10 years of project data retention).

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • Not quite like-for-like: Reconstruct is software your team works in (capture, measure, overlay, report). Hexagon's offering is a managed reporting service: you supply the model, schedule and 360 photos, and Hexagon delivers progress reports by trade, floor or system after its analysts check them.
  • Capture: Reconstruct lists smartphones, 360 cameras and drones, with Matterport and laser scanning also named as capture sources. Hexagon's FAQ says the service needs 360 photos from approved apps such as Multivista or Hexagon GoCapture and that drone and SLR photos are not supported; the same page also advertises agnostic data inputs, so confirm what it will accept.
  • Model and schedule: Hexagon requires a federated NWD model and a P6 or Excel schedule, and lists compatibility with Autodesk ACC, Procore, Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project. Reconstruct imports schedules via XML or bi-directional integrations with Oracle Primavera Cloud and Aconex, and adds 4D BIM visualization once a schedule and plans are uploaded.
  • Progress output: Reconstruct describes per-activity percent complete and root cause of delay with transcribed voice notes and annotated pictures, pins on issues and on-demand reports. Hexagon describes automatic detection of built and unbuilt model elements, analyst QA on every update and email alerts when a report is ready.
  • Timing: Hexagon's FAQ says setup can take up to eight weeks and gives two turnaround answers (typically 48-72 hours after images are posted, and usually within 48 hours of upload), so confirm with Hexagon. Reconstruct's pages we read do not state a turnaround.
  • AI tag: Hexagon Multivista Building Progress Reporting is tagged AI features added to an established product; Reconstruct is tagged Not AI-first because the pages we read describe reality mapping and photogrammetry rather than AI.
  • Pricing (checked Oct 29, 2026): neither publishes prices. Reconstruct's pricing page offers personalized pricing for one project or hundreds. Hexagon's service page has no pricing link (/pricing returns not found) and routes to Book a demo. See each tool page for detail.
  • Not used here: Reconstruct's ROI percentages and quotes, and the customer testimonial dollar figure on Hexagon's page (vendor material). Neither tool has been tested by Means & Methods Lab.

Questions to ask in your review

  • How each handles a horizontal or civil job where a federated building model is not the main reference
  • Who does the capture walk each week, and what that costs in field time
  • What each costs for one project versus a program
  • 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?
