    Trimble is unveiling a free version of Trimble ProjectSight, featuring Artificial Intelligence (AI) and tools that were previously inaccessible to many in the construction industry. ProjectSight provides a centralized, real-time solution for managing and sharing project information, including documents and drawings. 

    Trimble ProjectSight empowers contractors to connect construction teams by capturing, organizing and sharing project data, such as drawings, requests for information (RFIs), submittals and photos. Jon Fingland, VP and general manager for Trimble construction software solutions, said, "A no-cost version of ProjectSight removes barriers to entry and presents a simple way to experience the project management benefits.

    "We envision a future where all contractors use this type of solution to access up-to-date information, collaborate, streamline workflows and make critical business and project decisions more effectively." said Fingland.

    Contractors can now access and install the software themselves by creating an account on the ProjectSight website.

    Trimble's ProjectSight AI-driven capabilities were developed in collaboration with Microsoft. Trimble integrates Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service to add automation to project management workflows, improve efficiency and accuracy, and free up construction professionals to spend more time on critical tasks.

    A new ProjectSight drawing import feature uses AI to read and extract critical drawing information. "The specialized drawing tool goes beyond standard optical character recognition with an engine that can read the name, revision number and content more holistically," said Fingland. "This makes it much faster to upload, validate and publish drawing sets without re-keying information."

    Additional versions of ProjectSight — available with paid subscriptions — allow for unlimited projects and data, and provide advanced cost management, field management, workflow connectivity and integrations with Trimble Viewpoint Vista and Spectrum construction management software.
