As part of the prestigious Campus Pictet de Rochemont project in Geneva, HRS Real Estate has chosen to integrate NEXT-BIM‘s advanced solution to optimize project management and execution. Covering the period from 2021 to 2025, this project commemorates the 220th anniversary of Pictet & Cie SA and includes offices, residential units, and a 90-meter-high tower. The project also aims to achieve the highest quality standards with three certifications: SNBS, LEED, and WELL Platinum. This collaboration highlights the impact of NEXT-BIM technology on the construction site and the tangible benefits observed by HRS teams.
NEXT-BIM and HRS: Partners in innovation and construction excellence
HRS: A Swiss industry leader
HRS, a leading construction company in Switzerland with over 400 employees, relies on its established expertise to lead this large-scale project. The integration of NEXT-BIM addresses the precision and control requirements of such an undertaking, providing HRS with immersive mixed reality technology through the NEXT-BIM software solution paired with the HoloLens 2. This technology enables teams to visualize BIM models directly on-site, overlaying them onto the real environment for precise execution and effective real-time quality control.
NEXT-BIM’s impact on the Campus Pictet project
With NEXT-BIM, HRS monitors construction progress in real time, ensures compliance at every stage, and anticipates project needs. Integrating as-built models into the smart building management system guarantees optimized and sustainable building operations.
Concrete benefits of the NEXT-BIM solution
Enhanced immersion and precision through augmented reality
Using the HoloLens 2 and NEXT-BIM solution, HRS teams benefit from on-site immersion, facilitating thorough quality control. Continuous checks on execution and compliance enable advanced visualization of BIM models. Checks and proactive detection of anomalies, such as clashes and network deviations, help prevent errors, reducing costly downstream adjustments.
Time savings and resource optimization
The adoption of NEXT-BIM has saved HRS teams significant time by minimizing back-and-forth between initial plans and on-site realities. Issues are identified immediately, reducing delays and optimizing resource use. This solution has allowed teams to streamline and execute tasks with improved efficiency.
An immersive solution welcomed by on-site teams
The NEXT-BIM solution was quickly embraced by on-site teams, who immediately recognized the benefits of augmented reality.
HRS team testimonial:
“Thanks to NEXT-BIM, we’ve been able to anticipate and resolve issues in real time, significantly reducing rework costs. The tool was quickly adopted by our teams and proved to be very intuitive to use.”
Toward higher performance construction with NEXT-BIM
The use of NEXT-BIM on the Campus Pictet site successfully addressed the technical challenges of a large-scale project, combining precision and efficiency. The NEXT-BIM mixed reality solution ensured rigorous quality control and enhanced coordination between teams. This experience demonstrates the added value of NEXT-BIM for ambitious projects, meeting the highest sustainability and innovation standards.
NEXT-BIM is proud to contribute to this major achievement led by HRS Real Estate.
We also extend our thanks to Tanguy Delrieu and Cyril Thillaye Du Boullay for their insights and essential roles in the project’s success! 🤝
