Gandy & Roberts - BIM for Augmented Reality (AR) on Construction Sites

The Augmented Reality project for construction sites will project a digital 3D model accurately over a building (or parts of it) under construction to visualise and communicate construction intent.

Applying this technology on a finished building will allow users to locate hidden construction objects and services (e.g. services in wall cavities or in-ground services).

AR is best done on projects where BIM is implemented and offers unique opportunities to visualise and communicate construction intent. Innovative IT solutions such as AR also allows the construction industry to offer exciting and future-proof employment and career opportunities.

The 3D model produced, and associated media, will be utilised in future AR and BIM training development.

Project duration: 12 months

Keystone funding: $10,000

BIM for Construction Sequencing Simulation

The Sequencing Simulation project will utilise a medium sized project where BIM is implemented, to simulate the construction process virtually.

Project

Point Clouds for Joinery and Shop Fitout

The Point Cloud Joinery project will utilise point cloud scans of existing rooms and spaces to produce accurate virtual 3D environments which are suitable for designing and fabricating joinery to fit the space accurately and reliably.

Project

Satellite Set Out

This project establishes a local setout control system and uses BIM processes to simplify the setout workflows for the builder and contractors.
