Driving transparency and compliance with 360° reality capture

Redevelopment of 23 Savile Row London shown in Oculo

How can you be certain your joinery project is being delivered to the right standard, even when you’re not on site?

Through our use of Oculo – a reality capture and project intelligence platform which uses 360° imagery and location data – we give our clients a navigable, real-time record of their project.

So you don’t just need to take our word for it that every detail meets the highest standards. You can view a virtual walk-through of an entire site and see exactly what’s been done at every stage, week-on-week and floor-by-floor.

How Oculo works: a smarter way to see your site

When we use Oculo to document a site, a 360° camera mounted on a hard hat continuously captures everything it sees.

That footage is mapped to the building’s drawings, creating a virtual walkthrough of the entire site – a bit like Google Street View, but for your live construction project.

We also have an additional tool within the Oculo product to capture every stage of fire door installation. This enables us to capture our strict adherence to manufacturers’ installation guidelines and our alignment with our various third party accreditations, while also providing open, honest visibility.

A digital record of quality and compliance

For the Original Joinery team, this technology transforms how we document quality and compliance throughout a project.

It means we can give our clients:

  • A complete, time-stamped visual record of every installation stage
  • Images and quality assurance notes geo-tagged to specific elements
  • A full history that can be reviewed at any point during or after the project
  • Proof of compliance with the Building Safety Act requirements

Transparency that builds better relationships

We deliver large-scale, complex projects and we hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards on every project. Being able to share a full visual record of a project, and week-on-week progress, removes uncertainty and builds trust through total visibility.

It even means that you can use Oculo’s ‘x-ray vision’ to see behind walls and ceilings after a build is complete. Want to double-check that a bespoke timber ceiling was installed correctly? You can easily go back to the images taken on the day of installation and take a closer look.
