The Takt Analysis Feature at a Glance

This article provides an overview of the takt analysis feature and shows how to analyze real process flows, takt sequences, and work rhythms on the construction site.

The takt analysis gives you a deeper insight into how processes on the construction site actually take place. The overview helps to identify the real work takt, better understand workflows and sequences, and make differences between sections visible. This allows you to evaluate process speed and repeatability and incorporate video data directly into your analysis.

While the schedule answers when something should happen, the takt analysis shows how work is being done.

View Structure

The view is divided into two areas.

On the left side is the location list. Here you see all automatically detected processes, clearly grouped by building, floor, section, and component.

The right side shows the actual takt view. Processes are displayed as colored bars on a timeline. This representation makes sequences, patterns, and recurring takt sequences quickly recognizable.

If you click on a process in the timeline, a sidebar opens on the right. It provides you with all relevant details to assess the content and quality of a takt:

  • the associated video with daily timelapse and player controls

  • the exact net duration of the process

  • number of workers and working hours

  • assignment to component, floor, and section

  • a direct link to the daily construction report

  • the assignment to process groups

💡 At the bottom of the sidebar you will also find the option to report process errors. If the automatic detection is not correct — for a wrong process class or wrong floor — you can report this directly here. The "Report process error" hint is highlighted in red in the sidebar and guides you quickly through the report. You can learn more here.

Filtering Processes and Locations

To narrow down your analysis in a targeted way, various filters are available.

Via the process dropdown you can select individual services or process types, for example formwork, reinforcement, concreting, or prefabricated elements.

With the location dropdown you filter by floor, section, or component respectively. This allows workflows of individual sections to be directly compared with each other.

Showing Planned Durations

With the "Planned Durations" toggle you can additionally display the planned process durations.

These serve exclusively as orientation and context. You can use them to see whether the actual workflow generally fits the expected order of magnitude and whether the planned duration is realistic compared to the actual work pace.

Important: This function does not evaluate whether a process took place too early or too late. It looks at the rhythm and execution, not the calendar date.

Customizing the Display

Via the "View by …" dropdown you can flexibly change the structure of the takt view. The display can be organized by components, processes, floors, or sections — depending on which perspective makes the most sense for your question.

Marking Processes

With the "Marked Processes" function you can save selected activities and quickly retrieve them later. This is particularly helpful for meetings, for later comparisons, or to jump back to critical processes in a targeted way.

Additional Functions

In the three-dot menu at the top right you will find additional tools:

  • Camera outages: Displays outages directly in the takt view so you can see whether gaps in the takt are due to missing image data.

  • Process error overview: A list of all reported errors including status (open or resolved) and a direct jump to the respective video.

  • PDF export: Enables the export of the entire project takt as a PDF for documentation.

  • Shortcuts: An overview of the available keyboard shortcuts for faster analysis.
