You carry the schedule.
Twenty-two subcontractors, one critical path, and every one of them billing against a percentage somebody has to defend. GroundReality puts the job on one record — captured daily, dated, and cited — so the huddle argues about the plan instead of about what happened yesterday.
Where it hurts
Three arguments you shouldn’t be having.
Every one of these costs a GC the same two things: a week of float and a working relationship. All three are settled by having the site on the record before the meeting starts.
Pain
The pay application says 62% installed. Your superintendent walked it this morning and says 47%. The meeting decides.
Proof
Progress AI reads percent complete by trade and by area from the week’s 360 walk and the morning orthomosaic — 82 trades, no model required. The number arrives with the frame it was measured from, so the claim is settled from the record instead of the room.
PROGRESS · 82 TRADES · CITED 100%GroundPain
Mechanical, sprinkler and electrical all want the same riser shaft in the same week.
Proof
Every walk is compared against the model, so the conflict surfaces while it is still a Tuesday problem and not a demolition ticket. It opens as an RFI on the same record the three-week lookahead lives on, and closes with the frame that proves the fix — 3.2 days from open to closed on average.
RFI-0047 · CLOSED 3.2D · CLASH L14Project ManagementPain
Your project managers spend Friday writing down what Monday already recorded.
Proof
Daily logs draft themselves from the day’s capture — crews on site, equipment on the yard, work in place, weather — and the PM edits instead of authors. That is 56 hours a month returned per PM, spent on the job rather than on the paperwork about the job.

A day on the job
One Tuesday, end to end.
Nothing in this sequence waits on someone remembering to start it. The site captures itself, the record updates, and the brief reaches the roles that need it before the gate opens.

The dock launches
The rooftop dock flies the tower and the laydown yard before first shift. Orthomosaic, terrain model and stockpile volumes are processed by 06:30.

The brief lands
Sequencing risk, RFIs past due, and yesterday’s hazards ranked by severity — on the superintendent’s phone before the huddle.

The response cites drawing revision C and the frame from this morning’s walk. Both parties are reading the same image.

Enterprise AI Brain
The brief before the huddle.
The same brain that reads your captures and your record projects a superintendent’s view of it: what is late, what is stacked, what is unsafe, and what needs a decision today. Every line cites the frame, drawing revision or clause it came from, and consequential actions wait for a human to sign.
- SEQUENCING01 / 03
Level 16 slab pour is one day behind the lookahead and sprinkler rough-in at Level 15 is stacked behind it. Moving the drop to Thursday clears both trades.
