AR & VR-Enabled BIM Solutions

BIM evolves beyond 2D screens with Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR). These technologies transform static models into immersive, interactive experiences — allowing teams to walk through designs, validate spatial layouts, detect issues early, and make confident decisions before construction begins.

AEC7D delivers powerful AR/VR/MR BIM workflows that improve collaboration, accelerate approvals, reduce rework, and deliver better outcomes for complex commercial, healthcare, industrial, and infrastructure projects in Dubai and beyond.

AR, VR & MR in BIM – What They Do

Augmented Reality (AR)

Overlay BIM models onto real-world sites via tablets, phones, or smart glasses. Perfect for on-site verification, layout checks, and early clash detection.

Virtual Reality (VR)

Fully immersive walkthroughs inside the BIM model at 1:1 scale. Ideal for design reviews, client presentations, and spatial understanding before anything is built.

Mixed Reality (MR)

Blend digital BIM with physical world in real-time interaction. Excellent for coordination meetings, training, and advanced constructability reviews.

Powerful AR / VR / MR BIM Capabilities

Immersive 3D Walkthroughs

Full-scale virtual exploration of interiors, layouts, and spatial relationships.

Mixed Reality Design Reviews

Overlay models in real environments for contextual validation and coordination.

AR / VR Clash & Constructability Checks

Spot conflicts and installation issues in immersive environments early.

On-Site AR Visualization

Compare BIM design intent directly with actual site conditions.

Facility Management with AR/MR

Access asset data and systems on-site for efficient maintenance.

Digital Twin + AR/VR Integration

Real-time performance visualization and predictive insights.

How We Deliver AR / VR / MR BIM

1

Model Preparation & Optimization

Receive Revit/Navisworks files → clean, optimize & export for immersive platforms.

2

Define Objectives & Use Case

Collaborate to decide: design review, clash check, client presentation, site AR, or training?

3

Immersive Experience Creation

Integrate model into Unity/Unreal/Enscape/Fuzor → configure AR/VR/MR views & interactions.

4

Hardware & Device Testing

Test on VR headsets (Oculus, HTC), AR glasses (HoloLens), tablets & phones for perfect performance.

5

Live Sessions & Training

Conduct guided walkthroughs, stakeholder demos, team training & handover documentation.

Integrated 3D BIM Visualization & Virtual Walkthroughs

Integrated 3D visualization allows stakeholders to explore BIM models in full-scale VR headsets. Teams can walk through interiors, review spatial layouts, study lighting, and evaluate design options in a highly realistic digital environment.

This accelerates approvals, reduces misunderstandings, and provides an accurate preview of the final built environment.

Competitive Advantage

  • Faster stakeholder buy-in with realistic previews
  • Early detection of spatial and usability issues
  • Reduced design revisions during construction

AR-Based On-Site Construction Visualization

AR overlays BIM models directly onto the physical site using tablets, phones or smart glasses. Teams can view walls, MEP systems, structural components, and installation sequences in real-world context before they are built.

This alignment of digital and physical conditions makes progress tracking intuitive and reduces on-site errors significantly.

Competitive Advantage

  • Real-time comparison of as-designed vs. as-built
  • Faster installation verification and quality checks
  • Reduced rework and site coordination delays

What Our Clients Say

"AEC7D's VR walkthroughs helped us spot 15 critical spatial conflicts during design development — saved us months of potential rework and millions in change orders."

— Project Director, Leading Dubai Developer

"AR on-site verification during hospital fit-out reduced MEP clashes by over 60%. One of the smoothest coordination phases we've ever had."

— MEP Lead Consultant, Healthcare Project

Why Choose AR / VR / MR BIM?

Early Issue Detection

Catch clashes, spatial errors & constructability problems before they become costly.

Faster Approvals

Stakeholders understand & approve designs quickly with realistic previews.

Stronger Collaboration

Shared immersive sessions align all teams — fewer misunderstandings.

Reduced Rework & Risk

Fewer site changes = lower costs, shorter timelines, safer execution.
