Why iPad Pro?
The iPad Pro is currently the only tablet equipped with a LiDAR sensor (Light Detection and Ranging)—a key technology for precise Augmented Reality on construction sites.
This sensor continuously scans the real environment by measuring distances and volumes. Combined with NEXT-BIM’s unique alignment technology, it enables :
-
Automatic and precise alignment of the 3D model with reality, without QR codes or markers.
-
Real-time correction of positional drift through continuous model alignment, ensuring reliable overlay even while moving on site.
-
Centimeter-level accuracy suited to professional uses, such as progress tracking, as-built documentation, commissioning (OPR), quality control, and maintenance.
Design phase
Project on an empty site to validate layout intentions.
Construction phase
Quality control, installation, error detection.
Maintenance phase
Visualize hidden networks through walls for fast and accurate checks.
Real-world,
proven use cases.

How does a NEXT-BIM workflow work ?
A process designed for field teams: prepare in the office, use on site in AR, and export actionable data.
- Prepare
- On site
- Report
Prepare your model
in just a few clicks
In the office, prepare your model once for efficient use. Using the NEXT-BIM Configurator on PC, users can independently convert IFC or NWD files into the proprietary NEXT-BIM format. Reusable templates allow you to avoid reconfiguring models for updates or new projects.
- Automatic conversion
- Reusable templates
- Custom configuration (colors, filters, checklists, progress tracking…)
Time-saving
Templates reusable across all projects.
Custom setup
Adapted to each trade.
Field-ready
No setup required on site.
