The Final Countdown: Top Reasons to Stop by Booth 431 at Design-Build Expo 2025

The Design-Build Institute of America conference isn’t just another industry event. It is the place where people who actually create things learn how to improve upon, expedite, and mitigate the consequences.

This year, a remarkable change is underway. The key points become apparent in sessions, lectures, and even hallway discussions. The question on everyone’s mind: how can we move from catching up to staying ahead?

That question is what inspires us and what we are demonstrating at Booth 431. Because ultimately it’s not about working harder, it is about working smarter with tools that actually care what happens on your jobsite.

What You Will Actually See at Booth 431

Here’s what we’re bringing to Vegas:

1. Live Reality Capture

The 360 cameras? They photograph everything, and then you sift through thousands of photos. What we’re showcasing at the conference is different. You’ll see how the system captures the jobsite in minutes, not hours, and organizes it to the floor plan so you can actually find what you need. No digging. No guessing. No wasted afternoon scrolling through files.

Here’s what this looks like:

• A superintendent captures a full floor
• The system processes it
• By the time they have a complete Digital Twin with every room, every corner, every detail ready to share

2. AI That Actually Helps

Everyone’s talking about AI these days. Most of it is just buzzwords slapped on the same old tools.

But what if your AI could actually chat with your project data? Know about the project data and get instant insights, reports, and model updates.

“Show me where we installed the ductwork last week.”
“Are there any areas where the MEP isn’t matching the model?”
“Generate a progress report for the owner by the end of the day.”

That’s what our AI Assistant does. Ask it anything. It keeps up with your toughest project questions.

3. VDC Solutions

VDC should make your life easier. However, many systems feel like they were designed by engineers, for engineers, with little consideration for the people who will actually use them in the field.

The VDC tools that the team can use, from the project manager coordinating models to the foreman checking clash detections at any time.

• BIM hosting that doesn’t crash when everyone logs in at once
• Clash detection that highlights real problems (not every pipe crossing a beam)
• Model coordination that updates in real time when changes happen

4. Digital Twin Technology

Digital Twins became popular because they work. They provide a living, breathing record of your project that updates as you build.

The problem? Most Digital Twin platforms were built for massive infrastructure projects with bottomless budgets. What about the rest?

What we’re showing at Booth 431 is a Digital Twin solution that works for regular projects.

• How 360° captures automatically become interactive Digital Twins
• How every stakeholder, from owner to subcontractor, can access what they need
• How progress tracking works when your twin updates with every capture

5. AR/VR Integration

Everyone is excited about VR headsets on job sites, and most people realize that they are useful.

The use cases that actually matter:

• Virtual walkthroughs for owners who can’t visit the site every week but want to see what is happening.
• AR overlays for coordination meetings, where you can stand in the actual space and see the BIM model overlaid on what’s built.

The Problems We’re Solving

Let’s talk about the stuff that keeps teams up at night:

• Scope Gaps That Appear Out of Nowhere — AI-powered Scope Gap Analysis compares your design, your coordination models, and your trade contracts to find these gaps before they become change orders.
• Field Deviations That Cost You Twice — The BIM vs. field comparison helps to catch the deviations, flag issues, measure, and suggest fixes.
• Closeout Documentation That Takes Forever — You’ll see how organized, searchable, dispute-ready closeout documentation happens throughout the project.

Challenge	Traditional Method	With AI + Reality Capture
Scope Gap Detection	Manual review, often too late	Automated analysis, early warning
Field Deviation Tracking	Weekly photos, hard to compare	Continuous Digital Twin, instant comparison
Progress Documentation	Hours of manual photography	Minutes of automated capture
Closeout Preparation	Last-minute scramble	Ongoing, organized collection

Who Should Actually Stop By

This isn’t just for the tech-obsessed early adopters. If you’re dealing with any of these situations, then it’s a must-visit place for:

• General Contractors trying to deliver with more confidence and less chaos
• Trade Contractors tired of getting blamed for coordination issues that weren’t their fault
• Owners who want to see what’s happening without scheduling site visits every week
• Project Managers drowning in RFIs that could have been prevented
• Superintendents who need faster ways to document and communicate field conditions
• VDC Coordinators looking for tools that the field team will actually use

The Reason to Visit Booth 431

Lens360 by ifieldsmart addresses the challenges teams face during construction projects. The disconnect between design and reality is undermining project success. Wasting time searching for information reduces productivity. The manual documentation process lowers the team’s morale.

These problems have solutions now. Real solutions that work on actual jobsites with real crews who don’t have time for complicated systems.

That’s what we’re showing at Booth 431. Not theoretical possibilities — stuff that’s working right now on projects across the industry.

Lens360 by ifieldsmart is a combination of Reality Capture, AI, and VDC into a system designed for people who actually build things, not just people who talk about building things.

How to Make the Most of Your Visit

• Bring your toughest questions — we’re not here to give you a scripted demo.
• Schedule a 1:1 demo if you can. Walk-ups are great, but if you want to know how this would work on your projects, book a slot ahead of time.

Conclusion

DBIA 2025 at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas, is happening November 5–7, and it’s just days away.

Stop by Booth 431. In the sessions about collaboration and the keynotes about innovation, you’ll see what those ideas actually look like when they’re built into tools you can use in a project.

We are showcasing what’s possible when Reality Capture, Digital Twin technology, VDC, and AI work together instead of in silos.

See you in Vegas.
