The Most Accurate, Measurable, and Useful Jobsite Documentation in Columbus
ARO Aerial delivers virtual tours built on the iGUIDE® platform, giving construction teams, architects, and developers a powerful way to document, measure, and understand their projects at every stage.
This isn’t a real‑estate tour — it’s a field‑verified digital record engineered for construction workflows.
360° interior capture, commercial venue, New Albany.
Why iGUIDE® Is the Superior Choice for Construction Documentation
Most 3D tour systems were built for real estate. iGUIDE was built for accuracy.
ARO Aerial leverages that precision to give Columbus‑area construction teams a competitive advantage.
What makes iGUIDE different?
- Industry‑leading measurement accuracy (±1% or better)
- Fast capture — ideal for active jobsites
- No cloud‑processing delays
- Floor plans + 3D walkthroughs generated from the same dataset
- Measurement tools built directly into the viewer
- CAD‑ready deliverables available
This means your team gets reliable, measurable, defensible documentation — not just a pretty tour.
Built for A/E/C Workflows — Not Just Marketing
ARO Aerial adapts the iGUIDE system specifically for construction, architecture, and development.
Accurate As‑Built Documentation
Capture true site conditions with measurement‑enabled tours and floor plans that support:
- Pre‑construction planning
- Renovation and adaptive reuse
- Layout verification
- Clash detection support
- Design validation
Architects and engineers can verify conditions without stepping on site.
Progress Tracking & Milestone Documentation
Every scan becomes a timestamped record of the project.
Use it to:
- Document rough‑ins before cover
- Track progress for owners
- Reduce rework and miscommunication
- Support pay apps and schedule verification
- Provide visual evidence for disputes or RFIs
Your team gets a transparent, defensible history of the build.
Better Coordination for GCs & Subs
iGUIDE tours make communication frictionless:
- Share a link — no logins or software required
- Annotate issues visually
- Reduce site visits
- Improve coordination between trades
When everyone sees the same thing, decisions get faster.
Facility Management & Turnover
Once the project is complete, the tour becomes a digital operations asset.
Facilities teams can:
- Locate utilities and equipment
- Reference behind‑wall documentation
- Plan future renovations
- Train new staff
This is a long‑term value add that sets Columbus builders apart.
