FARO BuildIT Construction 2026.1: Real-Time Quality Control & Construction Verification Software

FARO BuildIT Construction 2026.1 is the first fully‑integrated, end‑to‑end quality control (QC) solution for the building lifecycle. It empowers construction professionals to continuously monitor projects using 3D scan data, comparing real‑time site conditions against CAD/BIM designs and regional standards to reduce waste, avoid costly delays, and deliver higher‑quality projects faster.

The software integrates seamlessly with FARO’s 3D laser scanners (e.g., Focus series), Laser Trackers, and Tracer Laser Projectors. It supports a wide range of file formats, including DWG, DXF, IFC, Revit, and Step, and enables direct issue synchronization with construction management platforms like Procore via BCF.

📐 Primary Users

This professional construction quality control software is designed for:

  • Construction Managers & Quality Control Engineers performing real‑time construction verification and quality assurance throughout the building lifecycle.

  • Contractors & Site Supervisors identifying and resolving construction deviations early to prevent costly delays and rework.

  • Architects & BIM Managers comparing as‑built conditions against CAD/BIM designs to ensure projects are built to exact specifications.

  • Structural & Civil Engineers analyzing floor flatness, levelness, wall plumbness, and steel placement against regional standards and design models.

  • Facility & Asset Owners documenting construction quality for liability and compliance, and performing condition assessments for existing infrastructure.

⚡ Key Features & Capabilities

 

🎯 Real‑Time Design Validation

  • Compare as‑built scan data to CAD/BIM models in real time to visualize deviations and ensure construction matches exact specifications.

  • Detect improper placement or missing features such as walls, columns, beams, and pipes early, before clashes delay subsequent trades.

🧾 Tolerance Evaluation & Concrete Floor Analysis

  • Analyze floor flatness and levelness against international standards including ASTM E1155, TR34, and DIN18202.

  • Fresh concrete analysis: Scan freshly poured floors within minutes to identify high and low areas while the concrete is still workable—enabling immediate corrections and avoiding expensive rework.

  • Wall analysis: Check walls for plumb and flatness with or without reference design models.

📊 4D Analysis & Structural Monitoring

  • Visualize shifts and movements in structural performance over time.

  • Perform deformation analysis on tanks, pipelines, and other industrial assets, including tank volume calculation and vertical flatness checks.

📄 Comprehensive Reporting & Collaboration

  • Generate customized, easy‑to‑read reports with heatmaps, color‑coded deviation displays, and annotated sections.

  • Automated reporting formats align with industry standards such as API for tank inspections.

  • Share results via FARO WebShare Cloud, enabling all stakeholders to view 3D analysis results in a browser without cumbersome file imports.

🔦 Laser Projection Integration

  • Use BuildIT Construction with the FARO Tracer Laser Projector to project CAD geometry, assembly points, and deviation areas directly onto the construction site. This enables efficient prefabrication, formwork verification, and marking of out‑of‑tolerance areas.
