Blueprinted Brilliance: OnsiteIQ Is Reconstructing Transparency in CRE through AI-Driven Progress Intelligence

In the high-stakes arena of commercial real estate (CRE), visibility is everything. For developers and real estate owners, timely access to construction progress data can be the defining line between profitable predictability and costly setbacks. OnsiteIQ, a New York-headquartered construction intelligence platform, is redefining how real estate professionals interpret, monitor, and act on data. Rather than relying on dated updates or static reporting, OnsiteIQ offers an intelligent visual layer that captures, analyzes, and delivers verified site progress in real time, week after week. At the heart of OnsiteIQ’s offering is a robust platform powered by AI and computer vision. Their specialists capture 360° high-resolution imagery across thousands of active job sites in North America, which is then analyzed using proprietary AI to translate images into actionable insights. These insights—ranging from milestone tracking to delay prediction—equip stakeholders with verified data to make mission-critical decisions confidently. Whether it’s helping mitigate risk, accelerate draw requests, or settle disputes with irrefutable visual evidence, OnsiteIQ gives construction and development teams what they need most: truth at speed and scale. And as CRE grows increasingly data-dependent, OnsiteIQ positions itself not just as a tech partner but as a strategic enabler of intelligent, transparent growth. It’s no wonder leading firms such as Thomas James Homes, Avenida, and The NHP Foundation have integrated OnsiteIQ into their daily development workflows.

Elevating Construction through AI-Powered Vision

OnsiteIQ’s technology is a force multiplier for progress monitoring. With 100% weekly site coverage across all projects, the company’s AI platform deciphers images and maps them to floor plans and schedules, giving construction teams a real-time pulse on what's truly happening. Over 2 million data points are captured per project on average—allowing teams to proactively detect risks, verify milestone completions, and reduce ambiguity. The platform also identifies underperforming trades and offers trend analysis by trade, building, floor, or phase, delivering 3x faster issue identification and 15% fewer construction delays. These capabilities not only enable accurate forecasting but also foster accountability across all stakeholders, creating a new standard for digital transparency in development cycles.

A Strategic Advantage for Developers and Lenders

OnsiteIQ is not merely a visual documentation tool—it’s a strategic asset. Developers gain immediate visibility into all projects from a single dashboard, ensuring progress is aligned with underwriting expectations and eliminating guesswork in payment verification. Its Momentum™ module highlights stagnation early and assists in identifying root causes, allowing for corrective action before it becomes costly. For lenders, the benefit is even more pronounced. OnsiteIQ enables confident draw approvals, supported by an image-based chain of custody that can verify change orders, prevent overbilling, and defend against claims. In a market that demands capital efficiency, this form of audit-grade transparency is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Real Results with Real Intelligence

The outcomes speak for themselves: 20% more predictable delivery timelines, 2x faster dispute resolution, and quantifiable cost savings. OnsiteIQ’s clients have saved tens of thousands in potential change order disputes—one firm notably reversed a $25,000 claim using historical site imagery. For Thomas James Homes, the integration of OnsiteIQ equated to “adding several additional construction managers” without the overhead, increasing productivity by at least 50%. These efficiencies translate into stronger investor confidence and better returns, aligning perfectly with the fiduciary responsibilities of GPs, LPs, and asset managers. It’s no surprise that developers and investors across the U.S. and Canada now rely on OnsiteIQ to monitor over 2,200 projects across 110+ markets.

A Culture of Transparency and Innovation

What sets OnsiteIQ apart isn’t just its technology—it’s the culture behind it. The company lives its product promise of transparency, delivering direct, actionable data instead of vanity metrics. Its values—essentialism, innovation, transparency, and action—are deeply embedded in every product iteration. Since launching visual documentation in 2019 and progress monitoring in 2021, OnsiteIQ has consistently evolved to meet the dynamic needs of the CRE industry. In 2024, it rolled out Momentum™, its flagship AI-powered intelligence engine, solidifying its status as a transformative force in construction monitoring.

Empowering Smarter Growth at Scale

As CRE continues to scale and digitize, OnsiteIQ is leading the charge toward smarter, data-driven development. By transforming raw site footage into usable intelligence, the platform doesn’t just digitize construction—it democratizes it. From identifying risks and verifying timelines to defending claims and empowering C-suites, OnsiteIQ ensures everyone involved builds on proof, not promises.
