Buildots has launched an underground utility tracking service. This solution is the first to transform drone-captured imagery into actionable intelligence, Buildots claims.
The solution integrates with existing drone workflows. It requires only processed drone captures, allowing companies to continue working with their existing drone capture providers. The output delivers analysis, including visual overlays, progress percentages, and pace forecasts. It is now available to all Buildots customers.
Buildots notes that incorporating this functionality into its existing platform means teams track underground utilities using the same dashboards as later construction phases – avoiding duplicated effort and conflicting data.

“By bringing underground utility tracking into our platform, we’re eliminating a major blind spot in construction visibility,” said Roy Danon, co-founder and CEO of Buildots. “We’re helping the industry move beyond drone documentation, delivering the insights teams need to spot risks early and keep projects on track from day one. It’s another step towards Buildots’ vision of unifying construction delivery intelligence in a single platform.”
Successful pilot
Minneapolis-based Mortenson Construction has piloted the underground utility tracking on a data centre megaproject in the southern US. Abbey Mumford, operating group integrated construction director at Mortenso, said: “The true value of Buildots’ underground utility tracking lies in its ability to provide near real-time visibility into our progress and pace.
“This level of insight has become instrumental in how we manage the project. We’re able to leverage the data in a variety of ways, from early decision-making to safeguarding downstream activities, which ultimately helps us maintain control and keep the entire project aligned and on schedule.”
