Remote management of construction projects is becoming increasingly advanced with reality capture through 360° images, which provide a complete view of the site. Still, the small details of the project make all the difference and are crucial for efficient management. 

With this in mind, Construct IN launched the Detail Photo feature, allowing you to enhance 360° documentation with 2D photos for even more precise monitoring of the project. This way, it is possible to add images captured by smartphone, drone, or regular camera, highlighting finishes, installations, and other information that complements the images captured by 360° cameras.

If you are not yet familiar with the benefits of 360° capture for remote management of projects, or want to understand how this new feature can transform your visual documentation, keep reading.

Why is 360° capture essential for project documentation?

Documenting projects through 360° images allows for an immersive view of the site, ensuring that engineers, managers, and teams can monitor each stage of execution without needing to be physically present on-site. This resource facilitates decision-making, reduces travel, and improves communication among all parties involved in the project.

With the Construct IN platform, the 360° images are organized and compared over time, providing a clear view of the project's progress and a complete historical record of the execution stages. 

Now, with the Detail Photo feature, this process becomes even more complete and accurate, allowing specific photographic records to be added to complement the 360° captures.

What is the Detail Photo feature?

The Detail Photo feature was developed to integrate 2D images directly into the 360° management platform. With it, you can:

• Centralize visual records of the project, integrating 360° and detailed images in one place.

• Add 2D photos taken with a smartphone, drone, or conventional camera to document specific details of the project's execution. 

• Compare 2D images side by side with 360° captures, ensuring an expanded view of the project's progress.

• Associate the Detail Photo with a specific location, naming and describing records to facilitate organization and identification.

• View detailed photos in gallery or table format, according to user needs.

• Filter and search records quickly, optimizing access to relevant information.

How does the Detail Photo enhance 360° documentation?

Although 360° capture offers a broad view of the construction site, some elements require a more detailed record. Finishes, electrical installations, cracks, wiring, and other specific information can be photographed separately and linked to the platform, ensuring an even more complete visual history.

This way, remote management of construction projects becomes more efficient, reducing communication failures and facilitating problem resolution before they become major obstacles.

In addition to providing more flexibility and accuracy for documentation, everything is centralized, integrating 360° and 2D photos, which can also be compared side by side to speed up decision-making and project monitoring. 

How does the Detail Photo work in practice?

1. Capture the photo – Take a photo using a smartphone, drone, or conventional camera and transfer it to your computer.

2. Upload the images – Add one or more 2D photos to your project via the web platform quickly and easily.

3. Indicate the location they refer to - Enter the name, description, and location of the 2D photos to facilitate identification. 

4. Access your photo gallery - Select gallery or table mode to view the photos in the best way. 

5. Compare with 360° images – Access the details within the project's 360° viewer and make side-by-side comparisons between 2D and 360° images. 

6. Centralize and share photographic records – Keep everything organized and accessible for monitoring.

Ensure complete documentation and transform the management of your projects!
