Given the case, that the construction site is located abroad. Typically there is sufficient personnel on site for construction management and supervision. However, it is often the case that certain disciplines (building services, statics, fire safety, etc.) are not represented with sufficient expertise. In particular, finding solutions to country-specific problems requires interdisciplinary experience, among other things. A complete image documentation of the actual state including temporal development (history) will revolutionize this activity, similar to remote operations in medicine.

Some specific problems that may arise during construction can only be solved with the expertise from different disciplines or from different contracting parties. For such cases, elaborate walkthroughs involving multiple people are conducted, which are difficult to organize and coordinate. A complete as-is documentation can not only enable these processes to run virtually or in parallel, but also help participants better prepare themselves for the discussions and the decision-making processes in advance.

Small and medium-sized execution companies bear the costs of many damages incurred on the construction site although they often did not cause them. The reason for this is the lack of evidence as well as deadline and budget pressure that arises shortly before completion of the project. A complete picture documentation will contribute to more fairness on the construction site and make all parties involved aware that damages will be thoroughly investigated and causers held responsible. As a result, a general increase in quality can be expected. The same point applies to the documentation of the surroundings (buildings and public sidewalks, etc.), where the construction company generally has to prove that no damages have occurred.
