Birdi

26/08/2026

🏠 We’re heading to Melbourne Build Expo this November! 👋

And we’re bringing a question for construction teams with us: What if you could just ask your site?

- What’s changed since last week?
- Are we building to plan?
-What’s happening in this area?
- Can you show me the latest site data?

At Birdi, we’re exploring a simpler way for construction teams to interact with their site data — without needing to be a GIS expert to get the answers they need.

We’ll be at Melbourne Build Expo, 25–26 November at MCEC, showing what that can look like with Birdi + Scout, our AI agent.

👉 Come find us at Stand K28 — and bring us a question you’d like to ask your site.

🚀 Meet Scout — Birdi's new in-app AI agent, built to answer questions and get things done in plain language.

"How many maps do I have?"
"Generate an annotation report for this map."
"Process my drone data into an orthomosaic."

Scout answers from your real map data, takes safe everyday actions (creating, renaming, organizing maps, setting up your map view), and generates reports — all while keeping you in control of anything higher-stakes. It won't delete data, manage your team, or touch billing without you.

✨ Scout is live in workspaces now, available on every Birdi plan at no extra cost.

Ever had two site surveys that just wouldn't line up — or a stockpile volume that didn't match reality? The culprit is usually georeferencing (or the lack of it).

Our latest post breaks down what georeferencing actually is, ground control points vs. direct GPS georeferencing, and how accurate it needs to be for construction, mining, and utilities work. Read it here: https://ap1.hubs.ly/H016DVH0

Georeferencing aligns maps, drone imagery, and point clouds to real-world coordinates. Learn how it works, why it matters for site surveys, and how accurate it needs to be.

Birdi’s file uploader just got a major upgrade 🎉 You can now upload everything through one streamlined workflow, while Birdi automatically organizes files into structured folders and layers behind the scenes.

Now you can spend less time organizing data and more time actually using it.

Richard Crookes Constructions needed a clearer way to track, review and communicate progress across large-scale builds.

Using Birdi, their team transforms weekly drone captures into interactive maps, 3D models and visual timelines that give teams and stakeholders a shared view of project progress — without the usual scattered files and disconnected updates.

A smarter way to monitor complex construction projects from start to finish.

👀 We’ve all seen it… you process your map and it’s just not usable.

Gaps, dark patches, messy edges.

This post breaks down exactly why your orthomosaic looks low quality (and how to fix it):
