Its platform produces 3D graphical models of construction projects, running from the cloud to generate real estimates of cost, material usage, and lead times. The company says the platform can reduce up to 40% of "organisational effort" on site. Specter focuses on digitising on-site workflows to improve coordination, quality, adherence to schedules, and to automatically document what happens on site.
