Drone DivisionBimefy is a construction site intelligence platform. It connects BIM, construction planning, cameras, reality capture and site data so teams can compare what was planned with what is actually happening on site.
Drone Division carries out drone capture for construction and infrastructure projects. Drone flights cover ground that is hard to see from a fixed camera or a walkthrough: roofs, large footprints, earthworks, and the parts of a site nobody can photograph from standing height.
The Bimefy integration gives those captures a destination. A scoped partner token is issued from the project's integration settings, and captures are uploaded into that project. Large files are handled through an upload flow designed for them, rather than a single request that has to succeed in one go.
Bimefy records captures by type, which includes drone data and lidar, so a flight is filed as what it is and can be found later next to the other captures of the same area.
The value is repetition. A single flight is a photograph of a moment. A flight every few weeks, held in the project next to the model and the programme, is a timeline, and it answers questions about what a site looked like on a date long after the drone has gone home.
What connecting drone capture to Bimefy gives a project team.
A capture partner is given a token limited to the project they are working on, issued and revoked by a project administrator.
Captures are uploaded through a flow built for large files, so big datasets are not a single fragile request.
Captures are recorded by type, including drone data and lidar, so each is stored as what it is.
Successive captures of the same site accumulate in the project rather than being handed over as one-off deliverables.
Drone captures sit alongside 360° walkthroughs and camera imagery of the same area and the same period.
From the flight to a record the project can use later.
The capture partner flies the site, typically on a repeating interval agreed with the project.
Captures are uploaded into the Bimefy project using a scoped partner token.
Captures are recorded against the project and filed by capture type and date.
Successive flights can be compared with each other, and with the model and the programme for the same area.
Where drone capture earns its place in a project record.
Fly on a regular cycle so the project accumulates a comparable series rather than isolated deliverables.
Record roofs, earthworks and large footprints that fixed cameras and walkthroughs cannot reach.
Answer later questions about site conditions on a given date from the captures themselves.
Put close-range captures and camera imagery in the context of the whole site.
Drone capture is a specialism. Planning flights, operating safely and producing usable data on a live construction site is not something a project team should have to take on.
What the capture needs is somewhere to live. Delivered as files to a folder, a flight is used once and forgotten. Delivered into the project, next to the model, the programme and the other captures, it stays useful.
Drone Division does the flying. Bimefy holds the result in the context that makes it worth flying again next month.
