Introduction: The Future of VINCI Construction Sites with NEXT-BIM
For several years, VINCI Construction in France has been adopting the most innovative technologies to improve its processes. The BIM process has become essential in the construction of modern buildings. By integrating innovative solutions such as mixed reality through the NEXT-BIM solution, VINCI is pushing the boundaries of site management.
This article explores how these technologies are transforming workflows, enhancing quality, and significantly reducing project durations.
Discover how VINCI Construction, through its BIM process and the use of the NEXT-BIM solution, is transforming its construction sites:
BIM and Mixed Reality: A Vision Before Construction
BIM is a collaborative process that centralizes data, making it accessible to all the project actors. It anticipates each construction stage, optimizes methods, and guarantees optimal building quality while facilitating decision-making.
Mixed reality allows virtual visualization of a construction project before work begins and throughout the project, assisting with installations, compliance checks, and project progress surveillance. This approach improves anticipation and construction methods, ensuring high quality. Ultimately, “As Built” models can be easily delivered.
VINCI Construction has implemented the NEXT-BIM mixed reality solution to overlay digital models directly on-site.
Thanks to a unique automatic alignment system powered by a continuous adjustment algorithm, teams can precisely overlay BIM models on the construction site.
Fast and Efficient Control with NEXT-BIM
Using NEXT-BIM enables ultra-fast and intuitive controls. Key benefits include:
- Instant model alignment: models align automatically with the real environment in real time, eliminating the need for pre-aligning or constant realignment.
- Record-speed inspections: Thibaut, an on-site operator, can inspect hundreds of provisions per hour, a task that used to be labor-intensive.
- Exceptional precision: With an accuracy of approximately 3 cm, digital models provide a faithful representation of the environment.
- Enhanced quality: Simplified and thorough checks improve the quality of the job.

Graphical Tracking for Quick Decision-Making
The data collected through NEXT-BIM is instantly transformed into a visual, color-coded PDF plan:
- Green: Compliant
- Red: Non-compliant
- Blue: Incorrect dimension
- Orange: Misalignment to correct
These indicators allow teams to:
- Quickly identify areas requiring adjustments.
- Decide on corrective actions, such as drilling or adjustments with subcontractors.
- Intervene before technical and architectural trades arrive, avoiding additional costs and delays.
VINCI Construction teams use the data collected via NEXT-BIM to generate statistics.
These analyses enable them to quickly identify specific issues at different levels or structures.
A Profitable and Essential Investment
The use of BIM and NEXT-BIM offers considerable returns on investment. Time, precision, and human resource savings far outweigh the cost of the solution. According to a VINCI project director, this solution is now indispensable for effectively managing large-scale construction projects.
Testimonial:
“In my opinion, it’s impossible to manage a large-scale project without using this solution for provision checks. It is, by far, the most effective tool available today. The cost of such a solution for a project like this is incomparable to the time it would take for project managers to do it.”
Conclusion: The Future of Construction is Here
VINCI Construction perfectly demonstrates how innovative tools like NEXT-BIM are revolutionizing the industry. With increased precision and shorter delays, these technologies are redefining industry standards.
