Step-by-Step: How to Capture a 360° Site Walkthrough with SitePace.ai
Capturing and documenting jobsite progress doesn’t have to be complicated. With SitePace.ai, there’s no need for manual photo logs, complex BIM models, or extensive training. Simply walk the construction site with a 360° camera, and SitePace.ai automatically creates a spatially aligned, shareable, AI-enhanced walkthrough that maps perfectly to your floorplan. It’s a fast, visual, and effortless way to document construction progress—the future of site documentation.
Traditional photo logs are becoming obsolete. Contractors often rely on dozens of manual photos, handwritten field notes, and shared PDFs that are hard to track and easy to misplace. These outdated methods lack context—stakeholders can't tell where or when a photo was taken or what’s changed over time. A 360° walkthrough, on the other hand, provides full-scene, time-stamped context in one immersive visual format, delivered automatically by SitePace.ai.
Getting started with SitePace.ai is simple. All you need is a 360° camera—like the Insta360—a mobile device with the SitePace.ai app, and a PDF or JPEG version of your site’s floorplan. There’s no need for BIM models, GPS signals, or site control points.
The process couldn’t be easier. Just turn on your 360° camera and walk the site. As you move, the camera captures the entire environment. SitePace.ai uses its proprietary vision-based indoor positioning system to map your movement relative to the floorplan, aligning every frame to its precise location. Within the hour, a fully processed, time-stamped, and floorplan-mapped virtual tour is ready to be shared with your team or clients—no tagging, calibrating, or manual uploading required.
Behind the scenes, SitePace.ai enhances your walkthrough using advanced AI to detect jobsite progress, identify missing safety gear, and recognize other critical site conditions. Keyframes are automatically extracted, and a navigable, floorplan-based 360° viewer is generated along with a public link you can share instantly. There’s no need for technical setup—just walk, upload, and you’re done.
The resulting tour enables powerful capabilities: you can measure distances directly within the panoramic images, compare site conditions across different time periods, add visual notes for subcontractors, present progress during client meetings, and remotely verify safety compliance. Everything is stored with time-based records, ensuring that proof of progress is always at your fingertips.
Field teams prefer this workflow because of its simplicity and effectiveness. There’s no data entry, no complex software, and no waiting. Clients get live visibility into what’s happening on-site, and teams benefit from accurate documentation aligned perfectly to real floorplans. Best of all, it works without the need for BIM systems, Wi-Fi, or any backend integration.
Site documentation no longer has to be manual, disorganized, or delayed. With SitePace.ai, a single walk through your jobsite produces a comprehensive virtual tour—mapped, documented, and ready to share. If you're still relying on outdated photo logs, now is the time to upgrade. Say goodbye to missing context, manual uploads, and fragmented reports. Just walk the site—and let SitePace.ai handle the rest.
