My first pitch was to my father

A factory project, scattered site photos and my first pitch to my father: the personal frustration that led to Contineu.

Field Notes Updated 29 October 2026 What our quadruped scanning POC taught us about construction QC Lessons from our quadruped scanning POC with xTerra Robotics, from field capture to an actionable quality record. Read article Research Updated 29 October 2026 Before the model, we needed a tape measure How site visits, hand-drawn floor plans and a tape measure helped us build the dataset for our first defect-detection model. Read article Case Studies Updated 25 October 2026 L&T Buildings and Factories: keeping quality records consistent A defect record can appear in several places: a dashboard, a PDF report and an exported worksheet. For a project team, those views need to describe the same set of observations. Differences in identifiers, floor labels or totals create avoidable questions before anyone can act on the underlying issue.

A repeatable capture routine can support an ongoing conversation about the site. The challenge is preserving enough consistency that the next record can be understood alongside the previous one. Read article Illustrative photo Case Studies Updated 25 October 2026 KAN Realty: organising a multi-tower spatial record On a multi-tower project, a site record needs a reliable hierarchy. A capture can look correct in isolation while still being assigned to the wrong floor or viewed with the wrong orientation. The project structure is what makes individual outputs useful together.

A floor plan gives location, a panorama gives visual context, and supporting attachments can preserve the detail discussed during a review. Losing the connection between them makes the record harder to use even when each file still exists.

Read article Product Updated 25 October 2026 A capture workflow that accounts for poor site connectivity Site connectivity can vary between floors, towers and times of day. A workflow that assumes a stable connection everywhere will eventually leave a team uncertain about whether its latest capture has reached the people who need it. Read article Case Studies Updated 25 October 2026 Oberoi Realty: turning site captures into reviewable outputs A site capture passes through several stages before it becomes useful to a reviewer. Recording the walk, processing the imagery, aligning the spatial output and making it available for review are related steps, but they are not interchangeable milestones. Read article Illustrative photo Research Updated 25 October 2026 How to evaluate the economics of earlier defect detection Finding a defect earlier can make correction easier, particularly before another trade covers the affected work. But a claim about savings needs more than a defect count. It needs a credible account of what changed because the issue was found when it was. Read article
