The Ultimate Solution for Project Photo Documentation: Why the AEC Industry Needs Pixly

December 2, 2024

In the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, capturing, storing, sharing, and collaborating on project photos is more than just a process—it’s a necessity. Whether you're one of the ENR 400 Top Contractors or a small independent home remodeler, the "photo problem" is a universal pain point. Until now, industry solutions have ranged from SharePoint and text/email threads to overly complex construction management software. However, none have truly addressed the unique challenges of project visual documentation.

Enter Pixly, the simplest and most effective solution designed for the real-world demands of the AEC industry.

The Problem with Traditional Methods

  • SharePoint: It is not user-friendly for field teams; it is a cumbersome way to manage photos between the field and the office.
  • Text/Email: Scattered communications create confusion and make photos impossible to find when needed. Personal photos mixed with work photos is never good.
  • Most Construction Management Software: Often too complicated, with unnecessary features that slow down photo capture adoption and make project documentation time-consuming, impacting the number of captures.

These solutions leave teams frustrated and stressed, wasting time and scrambling for critical visual documentation when they need it most.
