On August 29, the AGC San Diego Construction Technology Committee continued its Tech Think Tank speaker series, a new segment that spotlights emerging technologies transforming the construction industry. This session featured presentations from two companies sharing their innovations; Looq AI in field data capture, and Zebel in preconstruction. Capturing Reality with Looq AI Presenter: Dominique Meyer, Co-Founder & CEO Looq AI is an AI-powered reality capture platform that creates survey-grade, geo-referenced 3D digital twins of construction sites. Using its proprietary handheld qCam device and cloud-based processing, Looq.ai delivers accurate spatial data faster and more efficiently than traditional surveying or LiDAR. Key Features: • qCam handheld capture with GNSS and IMU sensors • AI-powered cloud processing of 3D point clouds and maps • Survey-grade accuracy (3–5 cm GNSS, sub-cm precision) • Fast processing — small sites ready in under 24 hours • Collaboration via qApp with measurements and semantic overlays Impact on the Industry: By simplifying and accelerating data capture, Looq AI enables safer inspections, better design coordination, and more efficient asset management.

Designed for general contractors and developers, it integrates conceptual budgets, detailed estimates, and bid management in one solution. Key Features: • Conceptual and detailed estimating in a single workflow • Historical cost data combined with market benchmarks • Streamlined subcontractor bid comparison • Faster, more accurate output than Excel-based processes Impact on the Industry: Zebel helps preconstruction teams deliver more accurate budgets, reduce errors, and improve efficiency, empowering contractors to stay competitive.
