Description

VR has stepped right in forthe construction industry giving clients the capability to visualize designs bygiving them a tour from the inside. The construction industry has combined thepower of VR with another powerful tool i.e. BIM.

Project stakeholders likeArchitects and Engineers are giving clients a breathtaking experience of theirprojects with VR hardware and software. VR and BIM are the present ofconstruction and will continue to be the future of it as well. The constructionsector has always required processes, technology, and tools to create athriving environment. VR has proven to be an invaluable tool for theconstruction sector, and it has experienced significant transformation sinceits inception.

·Architectscan extend their design capabilities

Ratherthan spinning-up designs on paper and increasing the carbon foot-print,Architects can leverage the power of 3D BIM with VR to build, view, and manageobjects in real-time. Using immersive processes and technology Architects,Designers, and Engineers can create new possibilities and opportunities fordesign and delivery. The adoption of VR also makes it simple for the client tounderstand designs better, reduce material costs, and allocate resourcesbetter. The visualization aspect of VR-BIM helps augment 3D visualization, 4DScheduling, 6D Sustainability, and 7D Facilities Management. Visualizations interms of walkthroughs help project stakeholders visualize various perspectivesviz. interior and exterior.

·Derivea better As-Built structure

IntegratingVR with Reality Capture helps Architects, Designers, and Engineers understandAs-Built Conditions better. It helps them take control of the existing spaceand optimize designs through accurate As-Built data. The adoption of VR reduceserrors and onsite surprises before the actual construction begins.

·Immersiveclient experience for design visualization

ImmersiveVR helps clients move in and around the design or model before onsiteconstruction starts. The use of VR helps build and visualize design or modelprototypes to make informed decisions. Clients can take part in the designprocess through suggestions, feedback, and questions. Consequently, acollaborative approach helps identify and resolve challenges and overcomesproject bottlenecks.

·Monitorand track building performance & progress

Notonly does VR helps showcase designs, but when combined with Reality Capturehelps generate accurate As-Built models. As the project moves forward, work canbe scanned to build VR compatible 3D BIM models. This helps overseas clientsunderstand the project better, enhance decision making, fulfill contracts, etc.

·Leveragegreater value with team collaboration

Projectteams and clients can collaborate more efficiently in a VR setup. Bettercollaboration leads to fewer errors, cost reduction, and reduction in delays.VR-based workflows speed up projects and make sure the final design is similarto the proposed design.

·Dataconsultation

Projectteams and clients can leverage data consulting through a data-rich 3D BIMmodel. As BIM is data or information-rich, Architects, Designers, and Engineerscan explore or extract BIM data through real-time walkthroughs. VR plays acrucial role from design to construction and maintenance. The use of dataconsultation helps identify and resolve errors or constructability issues. Dataconsultation can be leveraged through cloud-based storage and collaboration forcentralized storage, access, and sharing.

·ImmersiveVR for Facilities Management

VR-basedprocesses and tools help Facilities Managers & Construction Personnelenhance the decision-making process. Data-rich models can be leveraged toanalyze, consult, and retrieve virtual information from the BIM model. Thishelps Facilities Managers inspect onsite activities and resources. Onsiteissues can be identified and resolved in real-time. VR-BIM enables quick andefficient installation, time savings, and cost reductions.

Closingthe discussion.

The adoption and acceptanceof VR-BIM in the construction sector have been expanding. The presence of VRcreates a myriad of opportunities for AEC professionals to communicate cleardesign intent. VR-based capacities determine interesting potential and capabilities.A robust VR environment redefines communication and collaboration onsite andoffsite.

The integration of VR-BIMhelps project teams and clients reach complete appreciation levels betweenvarious disciplines. BIM combined with VR has the potential to innovate andevolve the construction sector. VR collaboration with BIM is said to be thefuture of design, construction, and management.
