OVERVIEW
See the Building Before It Is Built
We turn your BIM model into immersive virtual and augmented reality experiences, so owners, designers and site teams can walk through the design and agree decisions faster.
Three ways teams use it:
Design review: walk the space at full scale and spot problems drawings hide
Constructability: check access, clearances and sequence before work starts
Site visualization: overlay the model on site with AR to check installed work

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions project teams ask us most often:

Common VR headsets, tablets and phones; we agree the setup before the review.
Does AR work on site?
Yes, on tablets and headsets, to compare installed work with the model.
Is VR only for design?
No. It is also used for constructability, safety and training.
