Digital Construction Management

Improve solar asset quality during construction with digital construction management that connects aerial oversight, field-based quality control and a component-level digital twin. SolarGain Mobile enables site teams to capture issues, add context and track quality in real time, while every observation is linked back to a traceable digital record for better control during construction and better performance over the asset lifecycle.

Gain Full Visibility

We transform your site design and layout files into a fully geospatial digital replica of your solar asset within SolarGain, including:

  • Mechanical Components: Piles, modules, tables

  • Electrical Components: Cabling, inverters, transformers, substations, BESS

  • Supporting Infrastructure: Roads, fencing, CCTV, buildings etc.

FAQs

  • Digital Construction Management (DCM) is a data-driven approach that uses advanced digital tools including aerial monitoring, cloud platforms, and mobile apps to manage, track and optimise construction quality and progress throughout a project lifecycle. 

  • Above’s DCM solution combines aerial insights with ground-level quality data to help teams spot deviations from design, resolve issues earlier, and maintain higher construction quality. This leads to fewer rework cycles and stronger asset performance. 

  • Above uses a mix of:

    • Aerial monitoring (e.g., drone imagery)

    • Cloud-accessible dashboards

    • Field-captured data via SolarGain Mobile
      to give a holistic view of progress and quality

  • DCM includes the SolarGain Mobile app, which lets field teams:

    • Track and control quality from ground level

    • Raise and resolve onsite tasks

    • Connect fieldwork with office supervision in real time

  • DCM reduces site visits by providing stakeholders with remote visibility into construction progress and quality through aerial and mobile data captured in the SolarGain platform. The SolarGain mobile app enables real-time access to site updates, documentation, and quality checks, significantly reducing the need for frequent physical inspections while still maintaining oversight and accountability.

  • Yes. With centralised project data and real-time dashboards, DCM makes it easier to:

    • Track progress against plan

    • Document deviations

    • Export evidence-based reports for stakeholders

  • Above’s DCM builds a rich digital plant record including commissioning test results and matched serial numbers that supports seamless transition from construction into operational life. 

  • A digital plant record helps with:

    • Technical due diligence

    • Asset handover documentation

    • Long-term asset management

    • Enhanced transparency for investors and owners

  • Yes, the platform is designed to link field capture, aerial insights, and office-based workflows, even when working with third parties, improving coordination across teams. 

  • DCM supports:

    • Project managers tracking progress

    • QA/QC teams ensuring build quality

    • Owners and stakeholders needing verified real-time reporting

    • Third-party supervisors coordinating across teams
