From June 2–4, Doxel will join thousands of leaders across the global data center ecosystem at the 2026 Datacloud Global Congress (DGC) 2026 in Cannes, France.
Held at the iconic Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, Datacloud Cannes brings together hyperscalers, developers, investors, operators, and construction leaders shaping the future of AI infrastructure and digital capacity expansion.
With more than 6,000 attendees expected, this year’s event arrives at a critical moment for the industry. AI demand continues to accelerate the construction of data centers globally, while labor shortages, power constraints, and schedule pressures continue to intensify.
As a Silver Sponsor, Doxel will be exhibiting at Booth #317 with full EMEA sales, product, and customer coverage on site, including participation in the event’s pre-conference cycling activities.
The conversations at DGC align directly with the challenges Doxel helps solve every day on large-scale projects.
Across the industry, owners and builders face mounting pressure to deliver complex facilities faster while maintaining quality and reducing risk. At the same time, construction productivity continues to lag behind other industries despite increasing project complexity and demand. For data center teams building hyperscale campuses and AI infrastructure, delays and missed coordination windows can quickly create cascading schedule impacts.
That is why objective, real-time construction visibility has become increasingly important.
Throughout Cannes, Doxel will showcase how leading owners and contractors are using AI-powered progress tracking to improve schedule certainty, benchmark production, and reduce costly surprises in the field.
Doxel automatically captures and analyzes site progress against BIM models and schedules, giving teams real-time visibility into what is actually happening on site. The platform eliminates the delays and inconsistencies that come from manual reporting and subjective progress tracking.
On major projects, Doxel has helped teams move beyond “rule of thumb” project management by introducing objective production benchmarking and real-time performance insights. DPR Construction used Doxel to improve benchmarking consistency and increase confidence in decision-making across projects.
As owners demand greater predictability and transparency across capital programs, Doxel gives teams what traditional reporting systems often cannot: a live operational view of project execution.
To support our efforts at Datacloud Cannes, we are launching a digital billboard campaign across key areas surrounding the Palais des Festivals and La Croisette.
The campaign reinforces a core message increasingly resonating across the data center market:
You cannot accelerate delivery without objective visibility into production.
The creative highlights our ability to help owners and builders deliver construction faster through automated progress tracking, real-time production insights, and proactive risk detection.
The campaign also reflects a broader shift happening across construction. Owners are beginning to manage construction investments with the same operational rigor applied across the rest of their business.
Attendees can meet with our team throughout the event to discuss how AI-powered construction analytics are helping data center teams improve execution certainty at scale.

Doxel is attending DCD>Connect APAC 2026 in Bali to discuss AI infrastructure, data center construction visibility, and reducing delivery risk across fast-growing APAC markets.
Doxel is heading to on June 9–11 at the Grand Hyatt Bali to participate in DCD>Connect APAC 2026
As AI infrastructure demand accelerates across Asia-Pacific, developers, operators, and construction teams are under increasing pressure to deliver capacity faster while managing growing project complexity.
APAC has quickly become one of the world’s most active regions for data center expansion. Markets across Southeast Asia, Australia, and India continue to see rapid investment from hyperscalers, colocation providers, and digital infrastructure firms racing to support AI workloads and cloud growth.
At the same time, the challenges facing project teams continue to intensify.
Data center facilities are becoming larger, denser, and more complex. Regional supply chains remain fragmented. Skilled labor availability varies significantly by market. Power constraints and permitting pressures are increasing in key hubs. Teams are being asked to build faster than ever before while maintaining certainty around schedule, quality, and coordination.
Industry research from McKinsey & Company shows that global construction productivity has remained largely stagnant for decades despite increasing project complexity and demand. The report notes that productivity in construction improved only 0.4% annually between 2000 and 2022 while labor shortages continue to worsen across major markets.
That challenge is becoming increasingly visible across APAC data center construction.
DCD>Connect APAC brings together many of the operators, developers, contractors, and infrastructure leaders shaping the future of AI and digital infrastructure across the region.
Unlike more mature markets where expansion is often constrained by existing infrastructure limitations, APAC remains heavily growth-focused. New facilities are being delivered across multiple countries simultaneously, often with compressed schedules and evolving delivery models.
This year’s event focuses heavily on the future of next-generation AI infrastructure, modular delivery strategies, localization approaches, and the operational realities of scaling hyperscale infrastructure across APAC.
For Doxel, these conversations align directly with the challenges teams are facing in the field today.
Doxel helps owners and construction teams improve visibility, coordination, and delivery performance across complex capital projects through automated progress tracking and AI-powered construction analytics.
Doxel enables teams to:
Doxel’s platform helps eliminate gaps in manual reporting by providing objective, real-time insights into what is actually happening on-site.
Companies like DPR use Doxel to improve project visibility, benchmark build speeds, and drive more objective production tracking across projects. As APAC data center projects grow larger and more complex, real-time visibility into field execution becomes critical to maintaining schedule certainty and reducing delivery risk.
Doxel’s APAC Client Manager, Sridhar Rengasamy, will be attending throughout the event and meeting with owners, operators, developers, and delivery teams across the region.
Sridhar has worked on large-scale infrastructure and capital projects across Southeast Asia totaling up to $550M in value, partnering closely with contractors and consultants to improve coordination, strengthen execution, and mitigate delivery risk across complex multi-stakeholder environments.
If you’re attending and want to discuss live or upcoming APAC projects, connect with the Doxel team during the event. To schedule a meeting, please reach out to Sridhar on LinkedIn.
Addressing Workforce Constraints in Data Center Construction
The Data Center Investment Conference and Expo (DICE): National brings together owners, operators, and builders at a time when data center demand continues to rise while the available workforce remains constrained.
Industry research shows that construction productivity has improved only modestly over the past two decades, even as project complexity has increased and labor availability has tightened. For teams delivering large-scale data center projects, this creates pressure on schedules, coordination, and overall execution.
Doxel is excited to attend DICE National, joining industry leaders as they share how teams are approaching these challenges in real project environments.
May 12–14, 2026
Day 1 Session | 2:10 PM – 2:50 PM
The panel includes perspectives from owners and operators who are directly responsible for delivering complex infrastructure programs.
The discussion will focus on how organizations are adapting to workforce constraints while maintaining delivery timelines and quality standards. Key topics include:
These challenges are not isolated to hiring. They affect how projects are planned, tracked, and executed from day one.
Doxel approaches workforce constraints as an execution and visibility challenge. When labor availability is limited, improving how work is tracked and managed becomes critical.
Doxel provides:
On data center projects with partners such as DPR Construction, this approach has supported a shift toward more consistent, data-driven benchmarking and improved confidence in project decision-making.
Data center projects require precise coordination, tight schedules, and rigorous quality control. Workforce limitations increase the risk of delays, rework, and misalignment between teams.
Improving visibility into project progress allows teams to:
This level of visibility helps teams maintain performance even when labor conditions are challenging.
This session will provide practical insights from industry leaders managing workforce constraints on active projects.
For owners, developers, and contractors involved in data center construction, it offers a clear view into how execution strategies are evolving.
Healthcare construction teams that leverage AI-powered performance monitoring are armed with accurate data in near real-time to keep projects on track.
Healthcare construction is a specialized niche in the industry, and the projects within it require a high standard of attention to detail to meet their deadlines. These projects are complex and involve the coordination of large, cross-functional teams to complete them on tight schedules—which means a project’s success is majorly dependent on the efficiency and collaboration of the team building it.
Every day that the facility is delayed or past schedule means another day patients can’t come in, and the owner or company will lose money.
Enter, AI-powered project controls – automated construction progress tracking.
The construction of healthcare projects is a delicate balance of innovation and realism. As one of the more technology-driven sectors, these facilities aim to have the latest and greatest equipment, but at the same time needs to be planned months in advance and available within a certain deadline. Teams must stay on top of an ever-changing landscape and varying demands—so having accurate, objective project progress data throughout is essential.
One of the biggest factors to staying on schedule is knowing exactly where you are. Without a single view of project progress, sticking to a set schedule becomes a risky guessing game. Progress tracking using the power of computer vision enables project teams to build faster and more accurately together.
After all, knowledge is power. Teams that leverage AI-powered performance monitoring are armed with accurate data in near real time to see backwards at what’s been done, as well as ahead at predictive insights.
Rework can be a project schedule’s worst nightmare—and the later it’s caught the bigger a scheduling headache you have on your hands. Rework takes valuable time away from what should be forward progress. In order to achieve schedule predictability, a project team has to be able to spot (and avoid) potential rework on the critical path.
Using computer vision automated construction progress tracking that acts as a digital surveyor, superintendents can quickly catch any missing or incorrectly installed components before the next trade covers up the error. This foresight can help avoid weeks of delays and schedule compression, which ultimately helps the facility stay on track to open on time or earlier.
Real-time automated construction progress tracking doesn’t just help with new healthcare construction—it can also help reduce downtime during facility operations down the road.
Picture it (if you dare): A construction company closes off an area to cut into the wall and fix MEP services only to discover that it wasn’t installed per as-built plans. Instead of adhering to the plan, dreaded rework is now required.
But what if you had x-ray vision instead? Comprehensive reality capture of an as-built facility ensures maintenance teams know exactly what was installed and where, so any maintenance and retrofits can be done efficiently without the rework. Instead of costing days of downtime, teams can get in and get it done as planned the first time.
At its core, Doxel is automated construction progress tracking that provides objective, accurate data on materials installed for real-time project controls. The more teams can document in the moment, the more productive and proactive they become.

Accurate, reliable data allows construction companies to remove subjectivity and replace it with objective accountability.
Communication can make or break a construction project. A report from the Project Management Institute found that ineffective communication was the main contributor to project failure one-third of the time. An even more alarming finding from the research is that 56% of budgets allocated to projects are at risk due to poor communication.
Without objective insights alignment among field and office teams, knowing what’s happening on a project becomes a daunting task—one that could put a project (and its profitability) at risk.
1. Delayed communication
Timely communication (especially between the field and the office) is hard to achieve. Field teams are focused on a hundred different things at once, and relaying project updates typically happens at the end of their day. Because field leaders aren’t able to instantly communicate every facet of a project’s progress as it happens, there is a lag time and gap in each day’s reporting.
2. Inconsistent communication
In addition to being delayed, communication from the field to the office isn’t always consistent. The more variables and people added to the equation, the more potential for confusion and uncertainty. Communication on a project can very quickly turn into a game of telephone—and teams are forced to hold more meetings and conversations to ensure mutual understanding.
3. Missing communication
While delayed and inconsistent communication can hold a project back, missing communication can halt it entirely. If proper communication isn’t happening, neither is profitable building.
All these challenges in communication don’t just create extra stress and work on a project—they can have a deeper impact on the data and tracking, too. Without everyone on the same page, the reporting and insights are left to everyone’s individual perspective. As a result, the project’s insights suffer.
Accurate, reliable data allows construction companies to remove subjectivity and replace it with objective accountability. Insights that are trackable and consistent bring everyone together on the same page to make informed decisions, faster.
Improve communication and progress tracking
Streamline billing and accountability
The key to collecting reliable insights is through automated progress tracking. The right tool can increase team alignment and communication, without adding effort to the project team’s plate.

Advice for maintaining mental health in the workplace.
Many construction companies are at a crossroads as they think about the future of their business, and who will be a part of it.
More than 40% of the current U.S. construction workforce is expected to retire over the next decade. This generation of seasoned superintendents and project leaders will leave behind big shoes to fill in both skill and knowledge, and the industry’s current skilled labor shortage doesn’t exactly help either.
While many owners, GCs and trade contractors have programs in place to mentor younger generations and train them to step in, it won’t be enough to bridge the gap. That’s why it’s important for companies to ensure they are innovating to attract more workers of a new generation.
The construction industry has made huge strides to change and adopt more technology, but it can’t stop now. The younger generation that’s coming into the workforce over the next ten years was raised in a time where technology was already prevalent and is like second nature to them.
If a company wants to attract and retain a new generation of field leaders, they need to have processes in place that don’t just utilize technology, but are on the forefront of innovation, too.
A project isn’t truly done until it’s done done. And whether or not it gets to done done on time and under budget all comes down to how it’s being tracked during the construction phase. The old way of progress tracking involves a ton of manual effort and even more paper. Field teams would have to document what happened by hand on a regular basis and manually report on the overall progress completed.
Not only was this inefficient and extremely time-consuming, it also made it nearly impossible to try to predict where the project was headed or spot any potential issues fast enough to fix them. Even with the utilization of 3D and BIM models, knowing where a project stands hasn’t been as automated as it should be.
Convincing new, younger workers to take on these outdated processes isn’t an easy sell. Chances are, they’ll feel their time is being wasted since they are so used to the convenience and automation that technology can bring. In order to attract more workers to be on project and field teams, the processes they follow need to be seamless and even a little exciting.
Construction companies that are leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate the collection and analysis of project data are already ahead of the game. While the new generation may be more traditionally more technologically savvy, AI is new and exciting to everyone.
Rather than spending hours per week manually inputting and calculating progress and materials, solutions like Doxel use AI alongside 360-degree capture to automatically identify true, objective progress. This ability to bring predictability to projects doesn’t just save field teams time—it provides critical insights that help avoid delays and cost overruns at the overarching project level.
Instead of them feeling like just another cog in the machine there to collect data over and over again, technology of this caliber empowers workers to think critically about the status of projects and seek a deeper understanding of what’s happening each day. Not to mention the sense of fulfillment that comes when a team works together on a project that is able to be completed earlier with increased safety, less expense, and higher quality.
We can help you empower a new generation of field leaders. See how Doxel works in a personalized demo today.
Doxel’s computer vision-based progress tracking leverages AI to act as a digital surveyor that delivers insights and reporting in real time.
Now more than ever, construction companies are looking for ways to stand out from the competition—and that starts with staying on top of the latest technology that helps them build more efficient, profitable projects.
The future of construction technology will be a hybrid of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning working alongside the industry’s workforce.
But what does that mean?
Put more simply, artificial intelligence is the brain of the computer, and machine learning is the part of that brain that learns from data and makes informed decisions based on what it has learned.
Computer scientists have found a way to make the process of designing a building more efficient and accurate. By starting with the goals and parameters of a project, generative design is able to explore every possible iteration of a solution until it comes up with the best option.
This technology and its use has the potential to save architects and designers countless hours upfront—but it doesn’t replace the human touch completely. Once the optimal solution is found for the design of a building, a designer still needs to fine-tune the details and take it from there.
Robots are being utilized on construction projects to perform repetitive tasks (such as bricklaying) using AI to detect changes in conditions and maximize efficiency. While only a few robots have been added to the project ranks so far, it is expected that more of these AI-powered workers will be used as a method of streamlining productivity.
What’s our favorite robot in construction, you ask? Meet Spot: a robot dog created by Boston Dynamics used to carry image-capturing or laser scanning equipment that ventures where humans can’t. Spot’s ability to walk himself autonomously around a jobsite, including on uneven terrain, makes him a project’s best friend. Spot may not have AI infused into his DNA yet, but the future generations of Spot will incorporate AI for predictive and preventative analysis.
Milwaukee Tool first dabbled into the technology space with their wirelessly connected tools, but they’ve since enhanced their capabilities with AI to pinpoint the exact locations of where a tool was last seen. And they didn’t stop there—by adding algorithms and more advanced sensors to their tools, Milwaukee is able to combine the data of a motor drive with motor load information to make decisions on false trips.
It should come as no surprise that these technological concepts are being applied to the most important priority in construction: safety. Companies like NewMetrix have created an AI-powered solution to help predict (and prevent) safety incidents on projects.
By leveraging a construction-specific AI model, their platform can analyze existing data along with their proprietary program to provide actionable incident insights that have the power to keep workers safe.
While BIM has opened the door for 3D modeling of a project, it’s still nearly impossible to tell the progress or quality of a build without a human resource to manually sift through and analyze images. That is, until now.
Doxel’s computer vision-based progress tracking leverages AI to act as a digital surveyor that delivers insights and reporting in real time. It can automatically analyze visual data, measure installed quantities, and inspect quality for more than 75 different construction stages. This not only saves companies time, it also mitigates the risk of errors and delays that could become costly.
Putting the model in the hands of field teams every step of the way gives them immediate access to see where their efforts line up (or don’t) for the project.
Ever since the pandemic, QR codes have had a resurgence in society. When the world turned contactless, restaurants and businesses began leveraging QR codes for menus and signage. These small codes have since become a go-to for pulling up web pages quickly and conveniently.
As QR codes continue to become more prevalent, other industries have taken note and discovered ways to leverage them—and construction is no exception.
But before we get into that, let’s cover some basics.
The ‘QR’ in QR codes stands for Quick Response, which makes sense when you think about the way they work. By pointing a device’s camera at the code, a destination link is pulled up and can be accessed instantaneously.
While they may have become most popular after 2020, these codes are not a new technology. QR codes were first created in 1994 by the Japanese company and Toyota subsidiary Denso Wave as a more accurate way to track vehicles and parts during the manufacturing process. The original intention behind QR codes was to reinvent the barcode by making something that was easy to scan and could hold more data than the average barcode.
In a time where businesses needed to (and continue to) adapt, QR codes and smartphones have become a powerful duo to further streamline access to information.
It’s no secret the construction industry is facing some challenges. From labor shortages to supply chain, the circumstances have further shown the importance of operational excellence on a project. To help combat these challenges, maintain a high standard of execution, and minimize risks of mistakes, many construction companies have found technology to be the answer.
Can QR codes play a part in this? In our webinar Almost Done Isn’t Done, one Doxel customer shared his team’s innovative way of incorporating QR codes around the job site to bring everyone on the same page, faster.
By strategically placing QR codes around key points of the job site, all the contractors for the project are able to instantly access the corresponding models and plans needed. That way, when the contractor is getting ready for the install or build, they can simply scan the QR code to confirm what they need to accomplish.
Putting the model in the hands of field teams every step of the way gives them immediate access to see where their efforts line up (or don’t) for the project. This makes it easy to ensure accuracy while progress is being made versus waiting until it’s too late.
How do companies make their own custom QR codes? Here’s a handful of solutions to consider:
While this technology is helpful enough on its own, the destination of the QR code is what can really make the difference on a project’s path to operational excellence.
Let’s talk about what happens when laser scanning and real-time progress tracking join the party.
Doxel’s AI-powered tool automatically maps and overlays 360-degree video to the BIM and 3D models. The split view allows teams to quickly understand what’s in progress and what’s done, along with the quality of installed systems.
Site progress is automatically quantified and visualized and can be differentiated by trade to compare what’s there to what should be—and as a result everyone is objectively aligned on true progress.
Imagine all this at the touch of a button, a scan of a code. With the convenient access of QR codes connected directly to Doxel, field teams can better (and more instantly) answer two of a project’s biggest questions:
Are things where they are supposed to be?
Are we on schedule?
By having the color-coded, easy to understand analysis of progress just a QR code scan away, project teams can be more proactive and accurate in their work.
If you’re ready to take your project models to another level, schedule a demo of Doxel today.
Work In Progress reports provide accurate progress data that project teams can trust across the entire site.
Construction is a unique industry in many ways, one of which being the flow of cash and accounting process for projects. Whereas many industries have straightforward transactions and payments, construction costs tend to be more complex and nuanced—which makes it more difficult to stay on top of a budget with money constantly going out and coming in.
From estimation and bidding to delays and change orders, there are many stages and factors that go into determining the cost (and profits) of a project.
How can companies know if they’re on schedule and under budget before the project closes? Work in progress is the answer.
A work in progress (or, WIP) schedule is a detailed report that shows the percentage of progress completed on a project—and takes into account any work that’s in progress in relation to budget and profitability. Below are four reasons WIP Reporting is essential on every project!
When it comes to a project’s progress, communication is critical. Without clear, real-time communication, project teams waste valuable time meeting to discuss and determine where a project stands. Progress can also be misrepresented or miscalculated, which directly impacts the budget and schedule of a project. With so many moving parts to balance, construction companies can’t afford to make mistakes due to miscommunication.
WIP reports provide accurate progress data that project teams can trust across the entire site. This reduces any subjectivity throughout the building process and gives everyone one source of truth to work from.
Many contractors choose to implement progress payments, which means the project is billed based on certain percentages of completion as they’re reached instead of waiting until the end of a job. Combine progress payments with inaccurate progress reporting, and the project can very quickly become overbilled (revenue billed exceeds the work completed) or underbilled (work completed exceeds what’s been billed).
WIP tracking provides the exact progress percentage of work completed to create a shared understanding and accountability for project costs accrued so far—and can help shed light on any discrepancies in the budget to prevent future cash-flow problems. This is especially helpful for those project managers who like to ‘guesstimate’ based on a gut feeling, then try to do the math later to even it out.
Hindsight may be 20/20, but it won’t keep your project profitable. A problem is much harder to fix after it’s already happened. While discussing what went wrong at the end may help your next project, the power to be able to notice and act in real time is invaluable. Project teams need to be able to spot potential problems as early as humanly possible to minimize the impact and keep everything on track.
That’s where work in progress tracking comes in—it’s in the name. Using technology that quantifies progress all the way down to the subcomponent level allows stakeholders to catch an issue and course correct as soon as (if not before) it happens. This prevents mistakes from becoming costly and provides insight for better business decisions in the future.
While catching issues early on is one thing, being able to predict a project’s future is another. With the right AI-powered progress tracking, companies can track project performance for deviations from plan and forecast a more accurate estimate at completion.
Knowing where your project is heading before you get there means you can plan accordingly and get ahead of costly trends. WIP tracking data gives project teams the ability to confidently manage the schedule and predict delays.
At the end of the day, work in progress reports give a true and accurate view of the financial health of a project. However, they require accurate project progress data to be effective.
Companies that leverage technology with AI-powered progress tracking can truly reap the benefits of WIP reports—and ultimately keep their projects on track and profitable.

Doxel is attending DCD>Connect APAC 2026 in Bali to discuss AI infrastructure, data center construction visibility, and reducing delivery risk across fast-growing APAC markets.
Doxel is heading to on June 9–11 at the Grand Hyatt Bali to participate in DCD>Connect APAC 2026
As AI infrastructure demand accelerates across Asia-Pacific, developers, operators, and construction teams are under increasing pressure to deliver capacity faster while managing growing project complexity.
APAC has quickly become one of the world’s most active regions for data center expansion. Markets across Southeast Asia, Australia, and India continue to see rapid investment from hyperscalers, colocation providers, and digital infrastructure firms racing to support AI workloads and cloud growth.
At the same time, the challenges facing project teams continue to intensify.
Data center facilities are becoming larger, denser, and more complex. Regional supply chains remain fragmented. Skilled labor availability varies significantly by market. Power constraints and permitting pressures are increasing in key hubs. Teams are being asked to build faster than ever before while maintaining certainty around schedule, quality, and coordination.
Industry research from McKinsey & Company shows that global construction productivity has remained largely stagnant for decades despite increasing project complexity and demand. The report notes that productivity in construction improved only 0.4% annually between 2000 and 2022 while labor shortages continue to worsen across major markets.
That challenge is becoming increasingly visible across APAC data center construction.
DCD>Connect APAC brings together many of the operators, developers, contractors, and infrastructure leaders shaping the future of AI and digital infrastructure across the region.
Unlike more mature markets where expansion is often constrained by existing infrastructure limitations, APAC remains heavily growth-focused. New facilities are being delivered across multiple countries simultaneously, often with compressed schedules and evolving delivery models.
This year’s event focuses heavily on the future of next-generation AI infrastructure, modular delivery strategies, localization approaches, and the operational realities of scaling hyperscale infrastructure across APAC.
For Doxel, these conversations align directly with the challenges teams are facing in the field today.

Addressing Workforce Constraints in Data Center Construction
The Data Center Investment Conference and Expo (DICE): National brings together owners, operators, and builders at a time when data center demand continues to rise while the available workforce remains constrained.
Industry research shows that construction productivity has improved only modestly over the past two decades, even as project complexity has increased and labor availability has tightened. For teams delivering large-scale data center projects, this creates pressure on schedules, coordination, and overall execution.
Doxel is excited to attend DICE National, joining industry leaders as they share how teams are approaching these challenges in real project environments.
May 12–14, 2026
Day 1 Session | 2:10 PM – 2:50 PM
The panel includes perspectives from owners and operators who are directly responsible for delivering complex infrastructure programs.
The discussion will focus on how organizations are adapting to workforce constraints while maintaining delivery timelines and quality standards. Key topics include:
These challenges are not isolated to hiring. They affect how projects are planned, tracked, and executed from day one.
Doxel approaches workforce constraints as an execution and visibility challenge. When labor availability is limited, improving how work is tracked and managed becomes critical.
Doxel provides:
On data center projects with partners such as DPR Construction, this approach has supported a shift toward more consistent, data-driven benchmarking and improved confidence in project decision-making.
Data center projects require precise coordination, tight schedules, and rigorous quality control. Workforce limitations increase the risk of delays, rework, and misalignment between teams.
Improving visibility into project progress allows teams to:
This level of visibility helps teams maintain performance even when labor conditions are challenging.
This session will provide practical insights from industry leaders managing workforce constraints on active projects.
For owners, developers, and contractors involved in data center construction, it offers a clear view into how execution strategies are evolving.
Where Speed Meets Precision in Data Center Construction
The pace of data center construction has changed.
Schedules are tighter. Labor is harder to find. And the tolerance for error is almost zero. Owners and builders are being asked to deliver faster than ever, often on projects where even a small delay can cascade into millions in lost revenue.
That’s exactly why Doxel is heading to the DICE Pacific Northwest Data Center Investment Conference & Expo.
This event brings together the investors, developers, contractors, and technology leaders shaping the next generation of digital infrastructure. And this year, one topic is rising above the rest: How do you build faster without losing control?
The demand for data centers continues to surge, but the industry’s ability to deliver them has not kept pace.
Global construction productivity has barely moved over the last two decades, increasing just 0.4% annually, even as project complexity has grown dramatically
At the same time:
The result is a widening gap between what needs to be built and what can be delivered.
To close that gap, leading teams are rethinking how projects are executed. They are combining modular construction strategies with real-time, objective visibility into progress.
Speaker: John Rewolinski, PSP, Head of Scheduling Analytics, Doxel
Session Title: Speed Meets Precision: How Modular Delivery and Construction Tech Are Redefining Data Center Execution
This session focuses on a simple but critical challenge: Speed alone is not enough. Precision is what keeps speed from turning into rework.
Attendees will learn:
Most construction teams still rely on a familiar process:
The issue is not effort. It’s timing. By the time a deviation shows up in a report, it’s often weeks old. On a data center project, that delay can mean:
Doxel changes that dynamic by delivering objective, automated progress tracking that compares actual site conditions directly to the BIM model and schedule.
Instead of asking what’s happening, teams can see it.
Doxel was built for complex, fast-paced projects where precision matters.
With Doxel, teams can:
This approach eliminates manual reporting gaps and gives teams a consistent, accurate view of the jobsite
The impact is clear:
Construction is not getting simpler. But it is becoming more measurable.
With the right combination of modular delivery, AI-driven insights, and objective progress tracking, teams can finally deliver projects at the speed the market demands without sacrificing quality or control.
Doxel is helping lead that shift. See Doxel today.
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.

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.
