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.



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.

  • Accurate floor plans
  • Measurement‑enabled environments
  • Optional CAD/BIM files (DWG, RVT, ESX)
  • High‑resolution stills


3. Deliver

Everything is delivered through a secure, shareable link.


No apps. No learning curve. No friction.

Optional Add‑Ons for Technical Teams

  • CAD / BIM deliverables
  • Point clouds
  • Exterior mapping
  • Site plans
  • Before/after comparison layers
  • High‑resolution stills for reporting

Labor shortages, tighter schedules, rising material costs, and increasing owner expectations are reshaping the construction landscape. To stay competitive, GCs, civil firms, and industrial builders need tools that improve accuracy, reduce rework, and streamline communication. Drone technology is no longer a “nice to
