CONSTRUCTION MONITORING

Anticipate construction.

Control what is executed.

With the NEXT-BIM Augmented Reality solution, the BIM model superimposed onto reality becomes a field management tool to understand and anticipate works, detect defects and secure execution in real time.

Why manage execution with Augmented Reality?

Execution is the phase where every error is costly:
rework, delays, tension between teams.
Execution tracking is only effective when information is understood immediately, at the right moment. On site, traditional plans and documents require interpretation, comparison and repeated back-and-forth between office ↔ site, which generates errors and time loss.

With NEXT-BIM, the BIM model is superimposed onto reality at 1:1 scale, directly on site.
Each stakeholder instantly sees what to install, where and how, eliminating ambiguities before execution.

NEXT-BIM enables :

  • Understanding before execution

  • Verifying compliance during installation

  • Detecting deviations continuously

  • Making technical decisions directly on site

  • Correcting before errors impact the schedule.

This real-time field workflow explains the reduction of rework, time savings during inspections, and better schedule control observed on projects.

How does it work?

Execution inspection workflow with NEXT-BIM

NEXT-BIM enables smooth inspections in augmented reality, without complex preparation. Here are the key steps of the process:

Step 1 – Superimpose the 3D model onto reality

NEXT-BIM technology automatically aligns the 3D model with the real environment, without markers or manual calibration. Alignment is continuous. The superposition remains reliable and precise throughout the visit, even while moving on site.

Step 2 – Compare design vs execution

The user visually compares the BIM model with reality at 1:1 scale. Differences in openings, equipment, networks, clearances or heights become immediately visible, without interpreting drawings.

Step 3 – Annotate and measure on site

When a deviation is detected, an annotation is created immediately on site. Deviations are documented and georeferenced directly in the 3D model. Annotations include photos, comments, statuses and precise measurements of differences between model and reality.

Step 4 – Generate and share reports

Annotations are automatically exported into reports (BCF, Word, Excel). Deliverables are ready to be shared.

A reliable technology,
compatible with your tools

  • Unique alignment technology
  • Supported formats: IFC, NWD
  • Devices: iPad Pro, HoloLens 2
  • Offline mode
  • OpenBIM compatible
  • No data stored in the cloud

Tools designed
to act directly on site

NEXT-BIM features are designed to manage execution throughout the project. On site, teams verify installed elements, measure deviations and record findings directly in the model as they appear. NEXT-BIM therefore provides visual, factual and interoperable execution tracking that reduces rework and secures project progress.

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 [...]
