Computer Vision Is the Andon Cord Construction Has Always Needed
LCI Conference 2025 · Reid Senescu, Doxel & Mike Miller, DPR Construction
Doxel's system was designed to track progress, but on a hyperscale data center project with DPR Construction, it caught something that no daily report, RFI, or schedule update had flagged, and the lesson that came out of it changed how the team interpreted data discrepancies entirely.
The story starts with a flag. Doxel's AI detected uninstalled security components near certain doors. The electrical trade partner pushed back hard, claiming they had roughed in all the security to those doors. In their estimation, the work was done.
After further investigation, the team found the truth: the security boxes had been installed. Three feet to the right of where they were supposed to be.
The components had been physically installed, but they were mislocated relative to the BIM. When comparing the 360° site photos against the model, Doxel’s AI correctly identified them as not installed in the designated location.
"If something's showing as not installed and the trade partner says it's installed, we probably have a quality control problem. Not the intended use case — but awesome to see."
— Mike Miller, Superintendent, DPR Construction
The team had stumbled onto a new interpretive principle. When Doxel flags something as missing and the trade says it's done, don't default to assuming the data is wrong. Investigate. The discrepancy might not be a tracking error; it might be a quality flag.
Mike was direct about what happened next and what it cost. Rework followed. But by investigating when they did, the team headed off even higher costs than if the issue had been found later.
REWORK WARNING: Dismissing data because it contradicts expectation is how quality issues get buried. The cost of investigation is almost always lower than the cost of rework — especially once walls are closed.
This is not an abstract lean principle. It played out on a real job, on real infrastructure, with real rework costs. The lesson is practical: when scan data and field reports disagree, treat the disagreement as information, not noise.
Construction quality management has traditionally relied on scheduled inspections, trade self-reporting, and periodic walkthroughs. These methods work reasonably well for obvious defects. They are poor at catching components that are physically present, but are installed in the wrong place relative to the design.
Computer vision can fill this gap by comparing what is physically present against the BIM at the component level across all visible trades every week. Mislocations look identical to missing components from the system's perspective, because in both cases, the component is not where it should be.
The practical recommendation from Mike's experience is to establish a protocol for investigating discrepancies rather than defaulting to dismissal. When a trade reports complete and the system reports incomplete, send someone to review the discrepancy. It only takes minutes, but it can prevent weeks of rework.
There is a secondary benefit this story highlights: objective, time-stamped documentation of installation location for every component. On a complex facility like a data center, where systems are dense, and modifications may be needed years later, having a record of where things were actually installed, not just where they were designed to go, has ongoing operational value.
This use case wasn't in the sales deck. It emerged from a real disagreement on a real job. That's often how the most durable capabilities get discovered.

Another employee noted that Doxel’s leadership actively supports internal promotions and professional development.
“The career advancement opportunity has been great! I've been given several opportunities to be promoted to higher leadership roles over the past few years.”
Construction remains one of the world’s largest industries, yet productivity has stagnated for decades. According to research from McKinsey, construction productivity grew only 0.4% annually between 2000 and 2022, far behind gains in manufacturing and the broader economy.
Doxel’s technology addresses this challenge by providing automated, objective progress tracking across construction sites. The platform scans projects, compares actual progress against plans, and helps teams identify schedule risks earlier.
Companies using Doxel gain:
These insights allow project teams to make faster decisions and keep complex projects on track.
For Doxel employees across engineering, AI research, and customer success, the opportunity to solve real problems in construction has become a major motivator.

How AI progress tracking gives superintendents a signal weeks before a delay becomes a crisis
LCI Conference 2025 · Reid Senescu, Doxel & Mike Miller, DPR Construction
Every superintendent knows the feeling: a trade partner reports they're on track, the schedule says green, and then, one week before a milestone, the reality hits. The work isn't there. The cascade starts. The conversations get harder.
The problem isn't that anyone is lying. The problem is that construction progress has always been measured the same way: someone walks around, someone asks, someone estimates. By the time a deviation surfaces through normal reporting channels, weeks have passed, and the cost of recovering has multiplied.
Data-driven construction executives are disciplined in leveraging technology and processes to capture crucial information about their projects. At LCI Conference 2025, DPR Project Executive Mike Miller described how automated progress tracking changed that dynamic on his hyperscale data center project, starting with a piping trade partner whose slip he could see forming in real time.
Starting in December, Doxel's computer vision system began showing a divergence between the piping trade's actual installed quantities and their planned schedule. Not a dramatic gap at first. Just a signal.
Under traditional reporting, that gap might not have surfaced until a formal schedule update meeting or until it cascaded into delayed downstream trades. With automated tracking, Mike could see it forming week by week, grounded in automated progress tracking rather than self-reporting.
"As a leader, you only have so much time to focus on certain things. I can't focus on everything all the time. I can see who's on plan and I can focus where we have the risk."— Mike Miller, Project Executive, DPR Construction
What followed was a textbook plan-do-check-act (PDCA) loop. The trade was brought to the table. The data was shared. Initially, there was resistance — new tools, new data, trust takes time. But by year-end, the team accepted the picture and decided to add resources. Check the result. Adjust again if needed.
Mike called it "bread and butter." The system is working exactly as it should.
KEY INSIGHT Early detection gives leadership the visibility to have the right conversation at the right time.
The lean parallel is direct. In manufacturing, the Andon cord's value isn't the cord itself; it's the organizational culture that responds to it. Doxel's computer vision functions as a continuous Andon cord across the entire job site, flagging deviations the moment they're detectable, not weeks later when they've compounded.
Reid Senescu, Head of Product at Doxel, described the underlying principle: construction sites have historically lacked the sensor layer that lean manufacturing has always relied on. No factory would operate without real-time feedback on production output. Yet construction, which is far more complex and expensive, has run primarily on estimates and walking the site.
The system takes three inputs:
Computer vision compares the scan against the BIM to determine what has been physically installed at the component level across all trades and at every stage of construction. A large language model ties the schedule to the BIM, producing a real-time 4D view of the actual project state versus the planned state.
The result: trade and project-level progress data grounded in physical observation rather than self-reporting, updated at least weekly, with no additional engineering work required for onboarding.
Doxel has captured over 3 billion square feet of construction. That dataset powers the "rules of credit" — weighted effort models that let the system aggregate component-level data up to an accurate project percent complete.
What This Means for Owners and GCs
For owners, the implication of this story is straightforward: the capability exists to monitor capital investments in construction with the same rigor applied to financial data, inventory, or operational metrics. Requiring automated progress tracking in the RFP: specifying that it must cover all visible trades and at least 80 stages of construction is the most direct way to ensure this capability is on every project.
For GCs like DPR, the story is about competitive differentiation. The teams that build trust in objective data and act on it early catch problems before they cascade. They spend less on rework and recover faster.
The Andon cord is finally available for job sites. The question is how quickly the team can respond when it sounds.
Lean isn’t just a principle — it’s how Doxel is pushing the industry forward. That’s why we’re excited to join the 2025 LCI Congress in Arlington, Texas.

Requiring automated progress tracking in the RFP: specifying that it must cover all visible trades and at least 80 stages of construction is the most direct way to ensure this capability is on every project.
For GCs like DPR, the story is about competitive differentiation. The teams that build trust in objective data and act on it early catch problems before they cascade. They spend less on rework and recover faster.
The Andon cord is finally available for job sites. The question is how quickly the team can respond when it sounds.
