Building Information Modeling (BIM) can be a valuable tool in the hands of anyone who works in construction. As we saw above, BIM stands for Building Information Modeling. CAD drawings are used during Level 0, but there is no sharing of the generated information models. What BIM Actually Is. IFC files, COBie files etc.).

In construction, AR can be used in everything from project planning to communications. AR can layer certain details and elements onto a building plan so stakeholders can get a better understanding of the project. These labels can then bring up text or even 3D models to communicate safety or hazard information.

For starters, you’re dealing with an old structure without CAD files and limited documentation. Thanks to lower hardware costs and direct connections between tools, the process of creating usable 3D models from photos or laser scans is easier than ever. It’s an exciting project, but it also comes with a host of challenges.
