Newmetrix Review 2026: Predictive Safety AI, Now Inside Oracle’s Construction Cloud

Updated October 18, 2026 – Tested Intelligence

Quick verdict: Newmetrix built one of construction’s first predictive safety platforms: its AI, Vinnie, reads jobsite photos for safety risks, then combines that with observations, incidents, payroll and weather data to flag which projects are most likely to have an incident next. Since December 2022 it has been part of Oracle, sold through the Oracle Construction Intelligence Cloud – so this is now an enterprise platform buy, not a standalone app you sign up for.

What it is

Newmetrix started life as Smartvid.io, founded in 2015, and rebranded to Newmetrix in 2021 as its work expanded from photo analysis into predictive analytics. Oracle announced it had completed the acquisition of Newmetrix on December 16, 2022, with founder and CEO Josh Kanner and much of the team joining Oracle. The technology now extends Oracle’s Construction Intelligence Cloud, alongside its schedule risk analytics.

Unlike camera tools that alert you to a hazard right now, Vinnie analyzes images and project data a contractor already collects and turns it into a forward-looking risk picture: which projects need attention this week, and what to do.

Key features

• Vinnie AI engine detects more than 100 safety risks in jobsite images, including work at height, guardrail and PPE issues, housekeeping and ergonomic hazards (vendor claim)
• Predictive analytics that identify the roughly 20% of projects expected to account for 80% of incidents in the following week, with prescribed actions (vendor claim)
• Safety monitoring that tags hazards and positive behaviors in jobsite photos and feeds the predictive model
• Safety observations digitized and combined with incidents, payroll, schedule and weather data
• Photo and video management with API and integrations, including a long-standing integration with Oracle Aconex
• Now embedded in Oracle Construction Intelligence Cloud, per Oracle and trade coverage

Pricing

Pricing is not public. IRONPROS, quoting Newmetrix’s leadership, described pricing as a percentage of project value, and volume-based on total construction value at enterprise level – from thousands of dollars a year for the smallest users to hundreds of thousands for the largest. Treat those figures as trade-reported and to-verify in an Oracle quote; there is no published rate card.

Who it’s for

Large general contractors and owners with many concurrent projects, an existing flow of jobsite photos and safety observations, and enough incident history for prediction to work on. Contractors already on Oracle’s stack – Aconex or the Smart Construction Platform – will find it the most natural fit.

Who should skip it

Small and mid-size contractors who want a safety app they can buy this week: this is an enterprise platform sold through Oracle, priced on construction value. Also skip it if your sites do not already generate consistent photo documentation and safety observations – the predictions are only as good as the data feeding them.

Pros

• Predictive, not just reactive: it ranks next week’s riskiest projects instead of only logging hazards after the fact
• Works from photos and data contractors already collect, rather than requiring a new camera network
• Detects a wide, construction-specific risk set, including hard-to-spot ergonomic hazards
• Oracle ownership brings scale, and integration with Aconex and Oracle’s schedule risk tools

Cons

• No standalone signup or public pricing; buying runs through Oracle enterprise sales
• Pricing tied to project or construction value can get expensive at scale, per trade reporting
• Predictions depend on disciplined photo capture and observation reporting across every project

FAQ

Is Newmetrix still a separate company?

No. Oracle completed its acquisition of Newmetrix in December 2022. The team and technology joined Oracle, and the safety AI is offered as part of the Oracle Construction Intelligence Cloud.

What is Vinnie?

Vinnie is Newmetrix’s construction-trained AI engine. It analyzes jobsite images to detect safety risks – more than 100 categories, per the company – and its data feeds the predictive analytics that rank project risk.

How much does Newmetrix cost?

There is no public price list. IRONPROS reported pricing based on a percentage of project value, or on total construction value for enterprise agreements. Expect to verify current pricing in an Oracle quote.

Bottom line

Newmetrix remains the reference point for predictive safety analytics in construction, and its core promise – focus this week’s safety effort where incidents are most likely – is still compelling. Just understand what you are buying in 2026: an Oracle platform component, with enterprise pricing and enterprise sales, not the independent startup product it started as.
