And as summer begins to fade, the landscape starts offering small reminders that the journey doesn’t last forever.  For the penultimate leg of our 2026 Rising Stars Road Trip, we turn towards the Midwest as we trace a route between bodies of water and the communities along them. We’ll begin along the Ohio River in Cincinnati before pushing north and west through Indianapolis and Detroit before eventually arriving on the shores of Lake Michigan in Chicago.  Across those miles, we’ll see another side of the built environment and the people shaping it. Old factories being given new purposes, massive construction projects rising in the heart of cities, and the challenge of mapping and repairing aging infrastructure—there are still plenty of miles left in the t...

New capability, delivered with NavVis, lets teams verify dimensions, catch design clashes, and validate space constraints without leaving the Buildots platform Chicago — Buildots , the construction intelligence leader, today added laser scans to its platform, in partnership with NavVis, the world’s foremost Source of Spatial Truth for the built environment. The integration brings survey-grade precision to Buildots for the first time – particularly valuable on mission-critical and mega-projects (e.g. data centers, semiconductor fabs, and hospitals), where accuracy is non-negotiable.  Buildots’ core platform already gives teams a verified visual record of progress. Adding laser scans offers a complementary layer of precision on top: survey-grade digital records that let teams confirm exact dimensions, clearances, and installation accuracy on the details where tolerances are tightest. Teams can capture data with NavVis’s industry-leading hardware or any laser...
