The program highlighted the increasingly strategic role of reality capture in the construction industry, a concept that encompasses technologies capable of accurately recording real site conditions through 360° imagery, drones, laser scanning, and point clouds. The integration of this information with digital platforms, BIM models, and artificial intelligence solutions is expanding the ability to monitor, analyze, and support decision-making throughout the entire project lifecycle.

During the event, ConstructIN presented its vision of evidence-based management, demonstrating how the structured collection of field data can contribute to risk reduction, increased traceability, and improved communication between the jobsite and office teams. Drone mapping technologies, 360° cameras, and automated capture systems were also showcased as important tools for enhancing visibility into construction execution.

Other companies addressed advancements in 3D scanning equipment and solutions, emphasizing the importance of geometric accuracy, data quality, and the integration of digital surveys with BIM models. Discussions highlighted how reality capture is becoming a key source of information for inspections, as-built surveys, quality control, and asset management.

Case studies were presented, demonstrating practical applications of point clouds in industrial and structural projects. The examples showed how captured data can support activities ranging from Building Information Modeling (BIM) to coordination reviews, construction planning, and early clash detection, helping to reduce rework and improve project predictability.

Another recurring topic was the integration of field data with collaborative platforms and Common Data Environments (CDEs). Initiatives connecting visual records, technical documentation, schedules, and artificial intelligence tools were also presented, promoting greater control, productivity, and access to project information.

More than simply presenting new technologies, the forum reinforced a trend observed across the industry: reality capture is evolving from a documentation and surveying tool into a strategic source of data for planning, project controls, quality management, and decision-making. The growing integration of point clouds, BIM, and artificial intelligence points toward an increasingly connected environment, where reliable and up-to-date information supports project execution with greater efficiency and predictability.

Odebrecht’s participation in the event reinforces the company’s commitment to innovation and the continuous pursuit of technologies capable of generating productivity, quality, and efficiency gains in its projects, while also promoting knowledge sharing with companies and professionals driving the digital transformation of the construction industry.
