When the scan says "not installed," and the trade says "we did it," the answer might be a quality problem, not a data error

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.
Doxel is proving that transforming an industry starts with the people behind it.
Doxel has been recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Best Startup Employers, highlighting the company’s rapid growth, strong culture, and commitment to developing talent in construction technology.
The annual Forbes ranking evaluates thousands of startup companies across the United States based on employer reputation, employee satisfaction, and growth. The recognition reflects the impact Doxel has built not only in transforming construction productivity but also in creating a workplace where employees can build meaningful careers.
You can see the full list here.
Doxel develops AI-powered construction progress tracking technology that helps owners and contractors deliver projects faster and with greater certainty. By automatically capturing jobsite data and comparing it to BIM models and project schedules, the platform provides objective visibility into construction progress and productivity.
The system helps teams eliminate manual reporting, gain objective insights, and make faster decisions across complex construction projects.
For Saurabh Ladha, CEO and Founder of Doxel, the Forbes recognition reflects years of commitment to both innovation and people.
“Our mission has always been to transform how the world builds. That requires not only great technology, but great people. Being recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Best Startup Employers is a testament to the incredible team we have built at Doxel.” - Saurabh Ladha, CEO and Founder of Doxel
Ladha added that solving construction’s productivity challenges requires long-term thinking and strong collaboration across engineering, product, and customer success teams.
Employee satisfaction has played a major role in Doxel’s recognition.
The company currently maintains a Glassdoor rating of approximately 4.1 out of 5, reflecting strong employee feedback on leadership, culture, and career opportunities.
Many employees highlight the opportunity to grow quickly within the organization and take on new responsibilities as the company scales.
“If you’re looking for a fast-growing company that genuinely supports career progression, values its people, and maintains a strong culture as it scales, Doxel is a great place to be,” said one account team member.
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.

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.
Integration merges cloud-based collaborative planning with automated progress tracking – giving builders a living schedule that validates itself.
REXBURG, Idaho, and MENLO PARK, Calif., July 25, 2025
Construction teams still lose hours reconciling what the schedule says with what the field delivered. Today allucent, a leader in cloud-based collaborative construction scheduling, and Doxel, the pioneer in AI-powered automated progress-tracking, announced a strategic partnership that ends the guesswork. The joint offering feeds AI-verified, trade-level progress from Doxel directly into allucent plans, cutting manual updates by 95% and accelerating project delivery by 11%.
For many construction professionals, keeping the schedule updated and useful is a constant challenge. allucent stands apart in the scheduling space by combining the rigor of Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling with the collaborative nature of Lean construction planning in one cloud-based platform. It offers intuitive tools for pull planning, 5-week lookahead schedules, and even tracks metrics like Percent Plan Complete (PPC) to improve reliability. Unlike traditional scheduling software, allucent was built with field teams in mind – it’s easy to use on site and expands functionality and collaboration of existing scheduling solutions like Primavera P6®, Microsoft Project®, and Oracle Primavera Cloud (OPC)® . This flexibility means superintendents, trade foremen, and project managers can all engage with the schedule dynamically, aligning daily tasks with the master plan without the usual friction.
allucent’s users have reported significant efficiency gains. Kitchell’s Director of Scheduling noted that allucent made their schedule updates “much quicker and more accurate”. Another Senior Superintendent reported that allucent “cuts our meeting time by several hours” each week. These time savings are critical on fast-paced jobs – every hour freed from manual updates or lengthy coordination meetings is an hour refocused on actually executing work in the field.
On the other side of the equation, Doxel brings a breakthrough in construction progress tracking. Instead of relying on manual reporting or best-guess updates, Doxel uses 360° cameras and AI-based computer vision to automatically measure work-in-place on the jobsite. The system can track installed quantities across all visible trades, comparing them against the BIM model and the schedule to determine exactly how much of each task is completed and what’s behind. In essence, Doxel automates progress validation – confirming that what was supposed to be done is actually in place, down to the smallest detail.
The impact for field teams is huge: rather than spending hours walking the site with clipboards and updating spreadsheets, a Superintendent can simply have a crew member do a quick site walk wearing a hard-hat mounted camera. Doxel’s AI will capture and analyze everything in that walkthrough. Superintendents using Doxel have seen up to a 95% reduction in time spent manually tracking progress. Meanwhile, project executives and schedulers get objective, visual reports of actual vs. planned progress for every component in the project. Doxel flags any scope that’s behind the plan as “needs attention” or “at risk” so issues can be addressed early – long before they ripple into major delays. Across projects, this approach has translated into measurable results: teams using Doxel have accelerated their schedules by an average of 11% and saved around 10% on monthly cash flow due to more timely problem mitigation. In short, Doxel provides a continuous, trustworthy pulse on project status without burdening the project team.
This partnership is powerful because allucent’s and Doxel’s capabilities directly complement each other. By integrating Doxel’s real-time field data into allucent’s scheduling engine, the two companies are closing the long-standing gap between planning and execution.
For construction teams, the integration promises several tangible benefits:
“At allucent, our focus is on making construction scheduling as easy and collaborative as possible for the people actually doing the work,” said Adam Evarts, CEO and Co-founder of allucent. “By partnering with Doxel, we take that mission a step further. Now we can give our users — whether Superintendents, Project Managers, or Trade Partners — a schedule that is validated with real-world progress. It’s about trust and transparency. Field teams can trust that the plan in allucent is based on objective, up-to-the-minute data, and that keeps everyone on the same page and pulling in the same direction.”
“We built Doxel to remove the blind spots in construction projects,” said Reid Senescu, SVP of Product and MarketDevelopment, Doxel. “Integrating our AI tracking with allucent’s planning platform creates something new in this industry – a schedule that knows exactly what’s happening on site, at all times. Teams will be able to react to issues in hours instead of weeks, course correcting in real time to stay on track. A project manager can walk into the owner’s meeting with full confidence that the schedule is accurate and up-to-date. This is the new norm for how projects are managed and delivered on time.”
Both allucent and Doxel see particular opportunity in high-complexity construction sectors such as data centers, life sciences labs, aviation, semiconductor facilities, and healthcare projects. These fast-track projects involve thousands of interdependent tasks where a single delay can cascade into costly overruns. allucent’s platform is already used to coordinate intricate sequences on such projects, and now with Doxel’s automated tracking, those plans gain an extra layer of certainty and control.
For instance, consider a large hospital project: the team uses allucent to perform pull planning and create a reliable six-week lookahead plan for installing critical systems. Once work begins, Doxel’s cameras and AI continuously verify the installation progress of each system (HVAC, medical gas, electrical, etc.). If the medical gas installation falls behind by even a day, Doxel will quantify the shortfall and immediately inform allucent – for example showing that the task is only 60% complete instead of the planned 65%. The software would flag this discrepancy, alerting the project team to reallocate crews or resequence follow-on tasks (like equipment testing) sooner rather than later. This level of real-time feedback can prevent a cascade of delays down the line, keeping the overall project on schedule.
As one scheduler in the data center industry put it, having reliable, automatic progress data means teams “can hit more aggressive schedules” because they’re not guessing – they know exactly where they stand . Ultimately, the allucent-Doxel integration enables what both companies have been striving for: “more building and less reporting” . By automating away the tedious work of data collection and schedule updating, project teams can focus on actually executing work and solving problems, confident that the plan they’re working from is grounded in reality.
Allucent and Doxel have partnered to enable powerful new workflows for joint customers, starting today. The collaboration supports key use cases that benefit from leveraging both platforms together. The companies will highlight these combined capabilities at upcoming industry conferences and webinars. For more information, visit allucent.io or doxel.ai.

When the scan says "not installed," and the trade says "we did it," the answer might be a quality problem, not a data error
▶ WATCH THE FULL PRESENTATION
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.
Doxel is proving that transforming an industry starts with the people behind it.
Doxel has been recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Best Startup Employers, highlighting the company’s rapid growth, strong culture, and commitment to developing talent in construction technology.
The annual Forbes ranking evaluates thousands of startup companies across the United States based on employer reputation, employee satisfaction, and growth. The recognition reflects the impact Doxel has built not only in transforming construction productivity but also in creating a workplace where employees can build meaningful careers.
You can see the full list here.
Doxel develops AI-powered construction progress tracking technology that helps owners and contractors deliver projects faster and with greater certainty. By automatically capturing jobsite data and comparing it to BIM models and project schedules, the platform provides objective visibility into construction progress and productivity.
The system helps teams eliminate manual reporting, gain objective insights, and make faster decisions across complex construction projects.
For Saurabh Ladha, CEO and Founder of Doxel, the Forbes recognition reflects years of commitment to both innovation and people.
“Our mission has always been to transform how the world builds. That requires not only great technology, but great people. Being recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Best Startup Employers is a testament to the incredible team we have built at Doxel.” - Saurabh Ladha, CEO and Founder of Doxel
Ladha added that solving construction’s productivity challenges requires long-term thinking and strong collaboration across engineering, product, and customer success teams.
Employee satisfaction has played a major role in Doxel’s recognition.
The company currently maintains a Glassdoor rating of approximately 4.1 out of 5, reflecting strong employee feedback on leadership, culture, and career opportunities.
Many employees highlight the opportunity to grow quickly within the organization and take on new responsibilities as the company scales.
“If you’re looking for a fast-growing company that genuinely supports career progression, values its people, and maintains a strong culture as it scales, Doxel is a great place to be,” said one account team member.
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.
“We’re not just building software,” said Reid Senescu, Sr. Vice President of Product, Marketing, and Customer Success. “We’re helping an industry that builds hospitals, data centers, and infrastructure deliver projects faster and with more certainty.”
That mission has helped Doxel attract talent from both technology and construction backgrounds, creating a team with deep expertise across AI, robotics, and capital project delivery.
The Forbes recognition highlights Doxel’s momentum as the company continues expanding its technology platform and customer base across major global construction projects.
For Ladha, the award reflects the culture the company intends to preserve as it grows.
“Our goal is to build a company where talented people can do the best work of their careers while solving meaningful challenges for the construction industry.”

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.
