We are very easily able to track the progress of a building once it starts and document the many stages of the building process so that if needed we can look back at certain areas.

Pros

By using the actual print of the building, it is easy to place locations where the 360 pictures are taken and store them. Also the side by side comparison of previous images is very useful.

Cons

I've had a hard time getting the speed mode to work. It works, but found I can better do it manually faster.

I have been using this software for a year and it's awesome. It has alot of features to use in the office and on site. It is also easy to share with other users. Customer service is quick and helpful.

Pros

Ensuring the entire project team understands existing conditions on renovation or adaptive reuse projects. Even team members who are not based on the project site can quickly and efficiently explore existing conditions and confirm elements in the field.

Pros

The user experience, sheet setup, importing functionality and tour navigation are great. Both our internal teams building tours and external users of the finished product find the tour easy to operate and are driving value from the deliverable. Customer support has been excellent - The team at Holobuilder has been a pleasure to work with!

Cons

Further automation is generating tours quickly, especial tours with large floor plates (many photos) and multiple levels. The 'Time Travel' feature is not always a good solution, as placing the camera in the exact same spot is not always possible.

Thank you very much for your review! We are glad to hear that both your internal and external users have had good experience with HoloBuilder.

Pros

The ease of use for the integration of 360 pictures is by far one of the best out there and by being able to plot the pictures on a drawing it helps you locate specifically where the picture was taken.

Cons

The thing I like least about this program is the amount of work it takes to set up all the sheets and locations of pictures. It is also hard unless you mark exactly where you took the previous 360 to get the exact same result in the next picture.

Allows people from the office view a project as if they were on site. This is especially helpful for us as a lot of our project are out of town.

Pros

Ease of use and ability to share with clients who do not use the software. I love the split screen feature for viewer photos taken at different times (progress photos).

Cons

I am a new user of Holobuilder and I haven't found many negatives. Everything that I have wanted to do so far has been no problem. I don't find myself using the objects very much. The movement and placement of them is a little confusing.
