Large construction projects generate vast amounts of information, yet it is usually scattered across folders, WhatsApp groups, drives and individual team members. Skylens Indoor Reality turns documentation into a positioned reality layer that evolves throughout the project.

Not another photo archive. A digital twin that evolves with the site.

The construction site becomes a spatial timeline

The process begins with a spatial baseline combining BIM or IFC, interior scanning, XGRIDS K1, drone capture, orthophotos, point clouds and a shared coordinate system. New Insta360 or indoor-drone captures are then positioned in the same space and stored as additional points in time.

Spatial Baseline → Capture 01 → Capture 02 → Capture 03 → Construction History

What do teams actually see?

Instead of opening a folder with hundreds of images, teams enter the project in Skylens Viewer. BIM and captured reality share one space. A user can choose a building, floor, room, corridor or work zone and see how that exact location looked on different dates.

This enables true before-and-after comparison inside the BIM: last week, last month, before a wall was closed, before a system was installed or after work was completed—without trying to rediscover the original camera position.

Periodic capture no longer depends on a professional photographer

After the initial project setup, a site manager, engineer or BIM coordinator can perform routine capture. Take the camera, walk or fly, upload, and Skylens positions the capture.

One truth layer for exterior and interior

Skylens does not separate the drone model from the 360° tour. The goal is one project reality layer: drone models and orthophotos outside, K1, Insta360 and camera positions inside, with BIM connecting both to a single timeline.

The camera is the collection tool. Value comes from Image + Position + Time + BIM + Room + Previous Observations.

Who benefits?

Main contractors

Return to any area to verify what was built, what changed and what existed before it was concealed.

Developers

Positioned visual evidence that shows what is really happening beyond a percentage in a progress table.

Supervision and management

A history that does not depend on one person’s memory, with a date, source, location and project context.

Data centers, industry and MEP contractors

A record of pipes, electrical systems, communications, cooling and cabling before concealment.

From documentation to construction intelligence

Once the same site is captured repeatedly, analysis can reveal what is new, removed, installed, delayed, inconsistent with BIM or still undocumented.

Reality Date A + Reality Date B + BIM → Spatial Change Detection → Construction Intelligence

The same twin continues after handover

A twin containing BIM, interior maps, reality history, camera positions, systems and documents can support operations, inspections, maintenance, sensors, robotics and physical AI.

How to begin

  1. Spatial Baseline: connect BIM, reality capture, interior scanning, drones, GIS and coordinates.
  2. Capture Workflow: give the site team a simple 360° capture process.
  3. Upload: add the new documentation to the project.
  4. Spatial Registration: position the route and camera points.
  5. Timeline: store every capture as another date.
  6. Compare: return to any point and compare change over time.

Every location. Every date. One spatial history.
Skylens Indoor Reality turns periodic captures into a continuous spatial record—BIM + Reality Capture + 360 + Time.
