Hexagon Construction Analysis Review 2026: Automated Progress Reporting From BIM and Reality Capture
Updated October 15, 2026 – Tested Intelligence
Quick verdict: Hexagon Construction Analysis — the platform formerly known as AVVIR — compares reality capture from your jobsite against your BIM model and schedule to report progress, flag work installed in the wrong place, and update earned value without manual walk-through tallies. It fits commercial, infrastructure, and industrial teams already working model-based. Without BIM and a structured schedule, there is nothing for it to analyze.
What it is
Construction Analysis started as AVVIR, founded to make jobsites more data-driven. AVVIR joined Hexagon in 2022, and its portal was later renamed the Hexagon Construction Analysis Portal. In January 2026 Hexagon folded Construction Analysis, Multivista, Voyansi, and LocLab together under one brand, Hexagon Multivista, pitching a single Capture, Create, and Analyse service instead of separate vendors for each step.
In concept it is simple: capture what is actually built, line that capture up with the design model, and report what is installed, what is missing, and what deviates. That feeds schedule tracking, earned value views, and an as-built model reflecting field conditions, not design intent alone.
Key features
- Automated progress reporting by floor, area, and trade, generated from reality capture data
- Deviation analysis that flags elements installed out of tolerance or in the wrong location against the BIM model
- Automated schedule tracking with cost and earned value analysis tied to measured progress
- Installation issue detection, so teams spend time fixing problems the system surfaces instead of hunting for them
- Integration with Hexagon Multivista Documentation Software, plus capture options including 360 photo, laser scanning, UAV, and webcam
- Updated as-built BIM reflecting actual field conditions for handover and later reference
- Service delivery through local teams — Hexagon Multivista works through a franchise network covering more than 60 territories, per Hexagon
Pricing
Pricing is not public. It is sold as part of Hexagon Multivista’s services, scoped per project by size, capture frequency, and reporting cadence — a conversation with a local team, not a checkout page. Multivista’s progress reporting material asks clients for a 3D model in NWD format and a schedule in Primavera P6 or Excel, so factor your VDC team’s time into the real cost.
Who it’s for
General contractors, owners, and VDC and project controls teams on commercial, infrastructure, and industrial jobs that already have a usable BIM model and a maintained schedule — especially teams who want objective progress numbers by trade and floor for owner reporting and early warning on slippage.
Who should skip it
Teams without a model-driven workflow. If your jobs run on 2D drawings and a whiteboard schedule, simpler photo documentation or a basic progress tool will serve you sooner. Also skip it if you want a purely self-serve subscription you can start alone this week — this is a scoped, service-backed engagement.
Pros
- Progress numbers come from measured capture versus the model, not from self-reported percent-complete
- Deviation detection catches misplaced work while it is still cheap to fix
- Capture, documentation, and analysis now sit under one Hexagon Multivista contract and contact point
- Backed by Hexagon’s wider sensor and software portfolio, including Leica Geosystems and Multivista capture
Cons
- No published pricing, and scoping depends on a sales and services conversation
- Requires a proper BIM model and a structured schedule — weak inputs will limit the analysis
- Overkill for small, short, or non-model-based projects
FAQ
Is Hexagon Construction Analysis the same as AVVIR?
Yes, in lineage. AVVIR joined Hexagon in 2022, its AVVIR Portal became the Hexagon Construction Analysis Portal, and in January 2026 Construction Analysis was united with Multivista and other brands under Hexagon Multivista.
How much does Hexagon Construction Analysis cost?
Pricing is not public. It is quoted per project as part of Hexagon Multivista’s services, based on scope, capture, and reporting needs.
What does my team need to provide to use it?
Per Multivista’s progress reporting material, clients provide a 3D model in NWD format and a project schedule in P6 or Excel format, alongside the reality capture the analysis runs against.
Bottom line
Hexagon Construction Analysis is for teams who already have the model and schedule and want field truth measured against both, without manual tallies. The January 2026 Multivista unification simplifies buying — one provider from capture to analysis — but it remains an enterprise, quote-based buy. Pilot it on one model-based project and judge its reports against what your supers already know.
