MENLO PARK, Calif. & REXBURG, Idaho — Construction projects have long wrestled with one costly gap: the disconnect between what the schedule says and what the field delivers. Now, two innovators — allucent, a leader in collaborative Lean construction scheduling, and Doxel, the pioneer of AI-powered progress tracking — have teamed up to close that gap for good.
The companies announced a new strategic partnership this week that will combine allucent’s cloud-based planning platform with Doxel’s real-time, AI-driven site monitoring, giving builders a “living schedule” that validates itself every day. By integrating trade-level field data directly into project plans, the duo aims to cut manual updates by 95% and accelerate average project delivery by 11%, according to the companies.
“At allucent, our focus is on making construction scheduling as easy and collaborative as possible for the people actually doing the work,” said Adam Evarts, CEO and Co-founder of allucent. “By partnering with Doxel, we take that mission a step further. Now we can give our users — whether Superintendents, Project Managers, or Trade Partners — a schedule that is validated with real-world progress. It’s about trust and transparency.”
How the Integration Works
allucent’s platform modernizes scheduling by blending Critical Path Method (CPM) rigor with Lean construction tools like pull planning and short interval planning, all in a simple, field-friendly interface that works alongside industry staples like Primavera P6® and Microsoft Project®. Builders use it to coordinate daily tasks, align trades, and track performance metrics such as Percent Plan Complete (PPC) — crucial for continuous improvement on complex jobs.
One scheduling director said the platform makes updates “much quicker and more accurate,” while a superintendent added it “cuts our meeting time by several hours” weekly — time that goes straight back to coordinating real work on site.
Meanwhile, Doxel’s breakthrough uses 360-degree cameras and AI-powered computer vision to automate one of the industry’s most tedious tasks: measuring work-in-place. Instead of superintendents spending hours walking sites with clipboards, Doxel turns a simple walkthrough with a helmet camera into a precise scan of installed quantities. The system compares this reality capture with the BIM model and planned tasks, flagging anything falling behind and producing visual reports that show exactly what’s done — and what’s not.
“We built Doxel to remove the blind spots in construction projects,” said Reid Senescu, SVP of Product and Market Development at Doxel. “Integrating our AI tracking with allucent’s planning platform creates something new in this industry — a schedule that knows exactly what’s happening on site, at all times.”
What Builders Get
By feeding Doxel’s verified field data directly into allucent, the integrated system automatically updates the plan — so daily reality and weekly forecasts are always aligned. That means:
- Instant Visibility: If 50% of a trade scope was planned but only 30% is done, the variance is flagged immediately — no spreadsheet detective work required.
- Early Risk Warnings: PMs and Supers know sooner when they need to resequence work or shift resources to stay on track.
- Stronger Lean Metrics: Accurate percent-complete stats boost trust in PPC, make pull plans more reliable, and create a culture of accountability.
- More Building, Less Reporting: Site teams spend less time updating trackers and more time coordinating trades, solving problems, and actually building.
Real-World Edge for Fast-Track Projects
Both companies see the biggest benefits for high-risk, high-speed sectors — from data centers to hospitals to semiconductor plants — where thousands of interconnected tasks make every day count.
Picture a new hospital wing: using allucent, teams build a six-week lookahead for installing critical systems. Doxel verifies progress daily. If HVAC install falls behind by just a day, the system alerts teams instantly so they can reallocate crews or shift follow-on work like testing — avoiding the domino effect that can cause major overruns.
As one scheduler for a national data center contractor put it: having verified, automatic field data means teams can “hit more aggressive schedules” with confidence because they know exactly where they stand — no guessing, no surprises.
What’s Next
The new integration is available immediately to joint customers. Both companies plan to showcase the combined solution at upcoming industry events and through webinars this fall.
By merging Lean collaboration and AI reality capture, allucent and Doxel say they’re delivering what construction has needed for decades: a living plan teams can actually trust.
