HRS

A large-scale collaboration for the Campus Pictet de Rochemont project in Geneva

HRS monitors the execution of its construction sites and performs digital as-built verification with NEXT-BIM by overlaying BIM models on site for faster and more accurate inspections.

THE PROJECT

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. Scheduled from 2021 to 2025, this project marks the 220th anniversary of the bank Pictet & Cie SA and includes office spaces, residential buildings, as well as a 90-meter-high tower. The project also targets the highest quality standards, with three certifications: SNBS, LEED, and WELL Platinum level. This collaboration highlights the impact of NEXT-BIM technology on the construction site and the concrete benefits observed by HRS teams.

NEXT-BIM and HRS Real Estate: Partners for innovation and excellence in construction

HRS Real Estate, a reference in Switzerland

HRS, a leader in construction in Switzerland with more than 400 employees, relies on established expertise to manage this large-scale project. The integration of NEXT-BIM meets the precision and control requirements demanded by such a construction site, providing HRS with immersive mixed reality technology using the NEXT-BIM software solution combined with the HoloLens 2 headset. This technology allows teams to visualize BIM models directly on site, overlaid onto the real environment, enabling precise execution and efficient real-time quality control.

The impact of NEXT-BIM in the execution of the Campus Pictet project

Thanks to NEXT-BIM, HRS monitors construction progress in real time, ensures compliance at every stage of construction, and anticipates project needs. The integration of as-built models into the smart building management system ensures optimized and sustainable building management.

Concrete benefits of the NEXT-BIM solution

Enhanced immersion and precision through Augmented Reality

With the HoloLens headset and the NEXT-BIM solution, HRS teams benefit from full immersion on the construction site, facilitating in-depth quality control. Continuous checks of execution and compliance enable advanced visualization of BIM models. Zone-based inspections and proactive detection of anomalies (such as clashes and network deviations) help anticipate errors, thereby limiting costly adjustments downstream.

Time savings and resource optimization

The adoption of NEXT-BIM allowed HRS teams to save valuable time by reducing back-and-forth between initial plans and the actual site conditions. Issues are detected immediately, minimizing delays and optimizing resource usage. Thanks to this solution, teams were able to structure and execute tasks with greater efficiency and smoother workflows.

An immersive solution well received by teams

The NEXT-BIM solution was quickly adopted by teams on site, who immediately understood the challenges and benefits associated with the use of Augmented Reality.

HRS Team Testimonial: “Thanks to NEXT-BIM, we were able to anticipate and resolve issues in real time, which significantly reduced rework costs. The tool was quickly adopted by our teams and proved to be very intuitive to use.”
