proven use cases
PROGRESS TRACKING
PROGRESS TRACKING Monitor site progress in real time, directly on site With the NEXT-BIM Augmented Reality solution, overlay the 3D model onto reality and instantly identify what has been built and what remains to be done. Move from declared progress to verified progress. 1. Quantified progress Each installed element is identified in the model, by [...]
PREVENTIVE AND CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
PREVENTIVE AND CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE Intervene faster with the right data. With the NEXT-BIM Augmented Reality solution, overlay the 3D model onto reality. Instantly locate your equipment, access its technical data and follow a guided route. 1. See through walls Thanks to the overlay of the BIM model onto reality, instantly locate your equipment and networks [...]
INDUSTRIAL LAYOUT
INDUSTRIAL LAYOUT Visualize your industrial equipment before it is fixed — in Augmented Reality With the NEXT-BIM Augmented Reality solution, visualize your future industrial layout at 1:1 scale in the real environment. Anticipate constraints, validate positions and secure costs. 1. Time savings Thanks to Augmented Reality, layout decisions are validated directly in real conditions, with [...]
Thibaut ISAMBERT, BIM Manager
― VINCI Construction
“With NEXT-BIM, my reservation checks have become incredibly efficient. I can verify an average of 1,500 m² per hour and between 250 and 500 technical openings per hour. I can control all technical reservations without interpreting 2D plans on site. The time savings are significant, and the accuracy is unmatched.”
NEXT-BIM and HRS Real Estate: A large-scale collaboration for the Campus Pictet de Rochemont project in Geneva
As part of the prestigious Campus Pictet de Rochemont project in Geneva, HRS Real Estate chose to integrate the advanced NEXT-BIM solution to optimize project management and execution.
Key features
ANNOTATION TOOL
ANNOTATION TOOL Create your annotations in Augmented Reality easily. Thanks to the NEXT-BIM Augmented Reality solution, discrepancies become immediately visible, making it possible to create clear annotations without interpreting plans. Each annotation gathers photos, comments, measurements and technical data, directly linked to BIM objects. 1. Georeferenced annotations Annotations are attached to a BIM object or [...]
MODEL / REAL ALIGNMENT
MODEL / REAL ALIGNMENT Overlay the BIM model onto reality, automatically and continuously. Instantly overlay your BIM models onto the real environment, at 1:1 scale in Augmented Reality, without markers or preparation. The BIM model superimposed onto reality becomes a field control tool to understand and anticipate construction, detect defects and secure execution in real [...]
VISIBILITY FILTERS
VISIBILITY FILTERS Filter to instantly visualize what you need. Control faster. With NEXT-BIM visibility filters, dynamically display or hide objects by categories, phases, packages, systems or scenarios. Simplify model reading, instantly display what you need and reduce errors. 1. Timesavings Instantly display only what matters to you. 2. Improvedreadability Unnecessary objects are hidden, improving understanding. [...]

Prepare your model
in just a few clicks
In the office, prepare your model once for efficient use. With NEXT-BIM Configurator (PC), users can independently convert IFC or NWD files into the proprietary NEXT-BIM format. Reusable templates eliminate the need to reconfigure models for updates or new projects.
- Automatic conversion
- Reusable templates
- Custom configuration (Colors, filters, checklists, progress tracking…. )
Time-saving
Reusable templates across all projects.
Custom setup
Adapted to each trade.
Field-ready
No setup required on site.
Session de
Réalité Augmentée sur site
The NEXT-BIM Explorer application enables the overlay of the 3D model onto the real environment. Users can create Augmented Reality annotations to capture and report observations during their session.
- Automatic & continuous alignment: precise and stable positioning of the model within the real environment
- Geolocated annotations: comments linked to BIM objects, including photos and data
- Field tools: measurements, checklists, progress tracking
- Offline mode: no internet connection required on site
Moins d’erreurs
Contrôle visuel immédiat + infos techniques au bon endroit.
