The partnerships reflect a broader shift in reality capture: teams are using different capture methods for different project needs while expecting the resulting data to work within established systems. Together, Looq AI, BuildingPoint Pacific, and SITECH NorCal are focused on expanding access to advanced 3D imaging technology, improving interoperability, enabling connected workflows, and accelerating the path from field capture to usable information.
Looq brings a differentiated approach to reality capture, using AI-powered handheld 3D imaging with ground-based photogrammetry to generate survey-grade 3D point clouds and high-resolution orthomosaic imagery. Beyond data capture, the Looq Platform applies AI-driven processing to transform field imagery into accurate, measurable digital information, laying the foundation for more advanced object identification, condition assessment, and infrastructure analysis. This enables teams to capture detailed, measurable data faster and more efficiently, helping reduce field time and costs, improve productivity and ROI, and increase flexibility in environments where aerial capture may be restricted.
The Looq Platform enables up to 10× faster field data capture, helping teams capture more sites per day, while automated processing helps reduce time spent preparing data. The result is greater field productivity and faster delivery of actionable project data.
Building on its established compatibility with Trimble Business Center (TBC), Looq is advancing its interoperability capabilities with Trimble Connect, having successfully demonstrated direct file transfers from the Looq Platform. This milestone strengthens Looq’s position within the Trimble ecosystem, while the partnerships with BuildingPoint Pacific and SITECH NorCal expand access to its ground-based reality capture technology and regional expertise across the West Coast. Together, these advancements support more connected field-to-office workflows, greater productivity, and faster project delivery.
Looq customers are already realizing measurable results across demanding survey and infrastructure projects. AJ Surveying uses the Looq Platform to collect topographic data for underground utility projects in wildfire-prone, drone-restricted, and challenging environments, achieving 60% faster turnaround and 43% lower survey costs. McElhanney has adopted Looq for mapping and topographic surveys, incorporating high-accuracy Looq data directly into Trimble Business Center. Following the 2024 Jasper wildfire, McElhanney also used Looq to capture four downtown areas in approximately four hours to support Parks Canada's property-boundary restoration work.
“The future of reality capture is not simply about collecting more data. It is about using AI to transform the physical world into accurate, structured information that can move directly into the systems where decisions are made,” said Dominique Meyer, CEO of Looq AI. “By connecting intelligent 3D capture with existing workflows, teams can reduce friction between fieldwork and decision-making and extract more value from every capture. Our partnerships with BuildingPoint Pacific and SITECH NorCal give us strong regional partners to bring these capabilities to more customers across the West Coast.”
BuildingPoint Pacific's Design-Build-Operate portfolio combines Trimble hardware, software, and field technologies for customers across California, Oregon, and Washington. Adding Looq gives customers another fast, efficient, and flexible ground-based reality capture option for documenting existing conditions and bringing survey-grade information into downstream workflows.
SITECH NorCal provides Trimble construction technology, site positioning, and machine control solutions to customers across Northern California. Adding Looq expands its reality capture offerings, helping construction and infrastructure teams efficiently document existing conditions and bring accurate 3D data into established workflows.
“Looq gives our customers a fast, efficient, and flexible way to capture existing conditions without disrupting the workflows they already use,” said David F. Larsson, Vice President, Peterson Technology Group (SITECH NorCal & BuildingPoint Pacific). “With direct compatibility with TBC, teams can move from field capture to usable project information faster.”
Looq AI, BuildingPoint Pacific, and SITECH NorCal will be at Trimble Dimensions 2026 in Las Vegas, Nov. 9–11, offering attendees and media on-site demonstrations of the Looq Platform and its workflows with Trimble Connect and Trimble Business Center.

For the first time since February, Russian, Ukrainian and U.S. negotiators are scheduled to hold talks on ending the full-scale war that is nearing the five-year mark, with security guarantees topping the agenda.
The two-day session starting Tuesday in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, follows previous negotiations early this year that failed to produce any visible progress toward ending Europe’s most devastating conflict since World War II.
The talks follow last month's localized truce around the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky in southern Ukraine that was brokered with the help of U.S. first lady Melania Trump and allowed the evacuation of some of its residents and the delivery of desperately needed humanitarian supplies.
But even as Moscow and Kyiv touted the weeklong ceasefire as a positive model, fierce fighting has continued along the 1,200-kilometer (750-mile) front line. Both sides also have escalated their long-range attacks on each other with drones and missiles.
Russia has intensified its strikes on Ukraine’s power system, seeking to undermine the country’s resolve as winter sets in. Moscow has relied on ballistic missiles and new, faster jet-powered drones, taking advantage of Ukraine’s shortage of U.S.-made Patriot interceptors.
A look at the talks and what's on the agenda:
Russia and Ukraine remain far apart on key elements of any prospective peace deal.
Russian President Vladimir Putin wants Ukraine to pull its troops back from the four regions that Moscow illegally annexed in September 2022 but never fully captured. He also demands that Ukraine abandon its bid to join NATO, accept strict limits on its military and drop restrictions on the Russian language and the Moscow-affiliated Orthodox Church in Ukraine.
Putin wants a comprehensive peace deal on those conditions and won't agree to a general halt in hostilities, arguing such a pause would only allow Ukrainian troops to rest and replenish their weapons stockpiles.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejects Putin’s demands to voluntarily cede territory Russia has not been able to take on the battlefield and agree to limits on the military and arrangements with Western partners, which it sees as essential security guarantees to stop Moscow from invading again.
Ukraine argues that an immediate ceasefire is the first step toward negotiating a wider settlement and says a direct meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy is the only way territorial issues can be settled.
Russia and Ukraine said the talks will focus on security guarantees.
Zelenskyy noted that Ukraine and its allies have discussed security guarantees similar to NATO’s Article 5, which states the alliance sees an attack on one of its members as an attack against all.
In a Nov. 5 interview, he said Ukraine's security guarantees boil down to what Western allies would do if Russia launches a new invasion of his country. “If Russia starts again, what will happen?” Zelenskyy asked. “Who will do what, with what means, and when?”
Some European nations have mulled a possible deployment of their troops to Ukraine after a prospective peace deal. Russia rejects that as a nonstarter, warning it would view any European troops on Ukrainian soil as legitimate targets.
The Kremlin insists any prospective deal should also offer security guarantees for Russia. Just before Moscow launched the all-out invasion in 2022, it demanded that NATO roll back its deployments in the alliance's member countries in Central and Eastern Europe, seeing their presence as a security threat. Similar demands will likely be part of any comprehensive peace deal proposed by Russia.
U.S. President Donald Trump said in a “60 Minutes” interview broadcast Sunday that Moscow and Kyiv are “very close” to a deal but added that “they’re going to end up with a little bit different shape Ukraine.”
He also declared after meeting Putin's envoy Kirill Dmitriev Nov. 4 at the White House that some kind of grand deal about European security was in the works, although he did not elaborate.
“It’s going to be a big agreement and it’s going to involve more than Ukraine,” Trump said, adding that it might include all of Europe.
Ukraine insists its European allies must have a seat at the negotiating table, while Russia opposes any such involvement at this stage.
“No one is going to invite them to the negotiating table,” Kremlin foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov snapped.
Ukraine's chief negotiator Rustem Umerov said his delegation will meet separately with European envoys in Abu Dhabi.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Europeans would need to be involved in broader negotiations but only later.
“Since the discussion will touch upon the future security architecture in Europe while addressing the mutual security of Russia and Ukraine, at some stage it would be impossible to do it without the Europeans,” he said.
On Oct. 27, Finland’s President Alexander Stubb and Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre spoke by phone with Putin in their first known direct conversation since shortly after the 2022 invasion. They said they spoke in their capacity as the heads of Russia's Nordic neighbors and not on behalf of the European Union, which has struggled to pick a negotiator with Moscow.
Peskov mocked the EU's “protracted indecisiveness,” saying that its members “can’t even decide yet who is authorized to speak on their behalf."
On Nov. 4, Zelenskyy said on X that he spoke to U.S. negotiators Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, saying the talks “must move forward at full throttle to bring this war to an end as quickly as possible.”
Kushner said on X that “our objective is to develop practical arrangements that address the security concerns of all sides, reduce the risk of future conflict, and create a more stable and predictable security environment.”
For over 30 years, “Europe and Russia have struggled to establish a sustainable security framework,” Kushner wrote. “Decades of mistrust, competing security concerns, and the devastating consequences of this war make this an extraordinarily difficult challenge, but one that is essential to lasting peace.”
He noted the main goals of the talks were “permanent security consultations, reliable crisis communications, greater military transparency, reciprocal measures to reduce escalation risks, and an enduring framework for long-term European security and stability.”
Kushner also said Monday that he and Witkoff will meet with envoys from Ukraine, the EU, NATO, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Italy before the talks.
Putin aide Vladimir Medinsky, who led Russia’s delegation in the first direct peace talks with Ukraine in Istanbul in March 2022 and in subsequent sessions, remains Moscow’s chief negotiator.
A former culture minister who wrote books about purported Western plots against Russia over the centuries, Medinsky is known for his hard-line views and blustery statements. At the 2025 talks, also in Istanbul, he reportedly said it took Peter the Great 21 years to defeat Sweden in the 18th century and Moscow was now ready to fight as long as it takes.
The Russian team also includes deputy foreign ministers Sergei Ryabkov and Mikhail Galuzin, military intelligence chief Igor Kostyukov and deputy chief of the General Staff's operational department Yuri Zhigarlovsky.
Ukraine’s delegation is led by Umerov, head of the country’s Foreign Intelligence Service, who attended earlier talks. It also reportedly includes Zelenskyy’s chief of staff Kyrylo Budanov, his deputy Sergiy Kyslytsya, chief of the general staff Andrii Hnatov and Davyd Arakhamia, parliamentary faction leader of Zelenskyy's Servant of the People party.
