What we collect

Real site work, captured with engineering context.

Trade task demonstrations

Bricklaying, rebar tying, welding, material transport, scaffolding, and finishing — recorded first-person on live Indian construction sites.

Drawing-linked annotation

BIM registration, weld-path and assembly-state labels generated at source by our drawing-intelligence stack, not after-the-fact manual labeling.

Site environment data

Diverse real-world conditions: dense urban sites, monsoon weather, low light, mixed machinery, active logistics.

Why teams partner with us

Access, consent and engineering accuracy built in.

  • Signed site access through our contractor network across Eastern India (Kolkata, West Bengal).
  • Written bilingual consent (Bengali + English) and DPDP Act 2023-aware audit trails on every capture.
  • Engineering-native team: we read structural drawings (SteelBox), so task specs and annotations are correct by construction, not by guesswork.
  • Pilot batches deliverable within 2–3 weeks of spec alignment; scaling to thousands of hours.
Who we serve

Provenance ships with every dataset.

Every dataset ships with provenance documentation — collection conditions, consent records, and annotation methodology — suitable for EU AI Act-style provenance requirements.
