Short on time? Let AI summarise
Instantly extract the key takeaways from this article using AI.
At Groundbreak 2026, we will show how documentation can be interconnected to help identify conflicts in the constructible phase. Stop by Booth #1216 to meet the team and see how AI-assisted construction workflows can help teams identify and solve problems earlier.
The Problem Behind Disconnected Construction Data
Most project problems aren’t caused by missing information. The information exists, but it’s split three ways.
Project information is fragmented in three ways: across formats such as drawings, specifications, BIM models, RFIs, and submittals; across platforms such as Autodesk Construction Cloud, SharePoint, Box, and Google Drive; and across field documentation such as 360° images, drone footage, and laser scans.
Nobody sees the whole picture until it turns into an RFI, rework, or a change order. iFieldSmart AI’s answer is to bring every source into one intelligence layer, so the gaps show up before they become field problems.
Four Things to Explore at the Booth
The booth’s message comes down to four ideas, and each one is something you can ask about directly.
Identify Design Conflicts Earlier. Scope gaps and design conflicts get easier to deal with when they surface before they become costly problems.
Turn Findings into Actionable Steps. Findings come with their location, the reason they matter, and what to do next.
Connect BIM Models with Field Conditions. Project documents, BIM models, and reality-capture data work together in one connected workflow.
Combine AI Analysis with Expert Verification. AI-assisted analysis and construction expert verification work side by side.

iFieldSmart AI for Drawings, Specifications and Submittals
A conflict between a drawing and a specification can sit unnoticed until someone tries to model or build it. AI skill applies AI-assisted review to the full project document set — drawings, specifications, submittals, and scope — and surfaces findings with locations, reasons, and recommended next steps, verified by a construction expert.
The Constructability Sample Report shows what a finding looks like. At a Clubhouse Level 01, a 36-by-24-inch concrete beam sits in the duct zone, and an outside-air duct can’t fit in the 16-inch plenum without ending up exposed below the ceiling. The recommended action: resolve the duct routing before BIM coordination and construction begin.
Lens360 for Field-to-BIM Intelligence
The design says one thing, and the field can show another. Lens360 is AI-powered reality capture aimed at that gap. It turns 360°, drone and laser-scan data into reports on sleeve installation, field-to-BIM deviation, thermal conditions, and progress — with findings and recommended actions verified by a construction expert.
VDC + Mixed Reality for Coordination
Coordination is when an office and field team come together. Improving Building Information Modeling (BIM) coordination and resolution of clashes is covered via a Navisworks plugin, while mixed reality, which layers BIM models over real site conditions on VR/AR headsets and mobile devices, connects the digital model to the physical jobsite.
Ask the team how it would fit the way your project coordinates today.
What an Answer Your Team Can Act on Looks Like
Take a sleeve problem. A note that says “sleeve missing” tells you something is wrong. A finding your team can act on says which sleeves, at which grid location, need to move to the modeled position before the pour, and verifies the ones not yet on site.
A sample sleeve report for Level 03 of a project shows the difference. Against the as-built point cloud, it notes three sleeves slightly mislocated at their respective grid positions, and one sleeve in the model not yet installed on site. The recommended next step: relocate to the modeled position before the pour, and verify the missing sleeves on site.
That’s the order the booth keeps returning to: AI first, a construction expert second, then action.
There are limits to keep in mind. These reviews work from the project data provided and don’t simulate construction, so they identify potential risks from available information rather than guaranteeing every issue will be caught. Results vary by project.
Bring Something Real to Talk Through
The team welcomes a workflow, coordination problem, documentation challenge or field issue, so a real example from your own projects beats a general question. A few starting points:
Documents: Which iFieldSmart AI skill fits the phase my project is in?
Field data: What does a field-to-BIM comparison need from our scans and photos?
Coordination: Where in our clash process would a Navisworks plugin or a mixed reality view fit?
See You at Booth #1216
At Groundbreak, you’ll discover a host of emerging construction technologies. At iFieldSmart AI booth #1216, we invite you to explore a key question: what would it mean for your project if a scope gap, field deviation, or coordination conflict surfaced a week earlier than it usually does?
Join us October 21–22 at Groundbreak 2026 in Orlando, Florida. See our AI software in action by bringing your drawings or other field documentation related to actual issues your team is currently working through.
