Construction Guidance
See the Plan Where You Build
Visualize BIM models in context and guide on-site construction with AR overlays — helping field teams align work with design intent and reduce rework.
Key Capabilities
Connect data, workflows, and field execution so teams can understand context, act faster, and keep work traceable.
- BIM Visualization in Digital Twin
Import IFC/Revit models into the FactVerse platform and visualize construction plans, MEP routing, and structural details in interactive 3D for review and coordination.
- AR On-Site Guidance
Project BIM models onto construction sites using HoloLens 2 or mobile AR. Workers see where pipes, ducts, and structural elements should be placed — matching digital plans to physical reality via DataMesh One.
- Step-by-Step Installation Procedures
Create guided installation sequences in Director — step-by-step 3D procedures that walk contractors through complex assembly and installation tasks on-site.
- Design Review & Communication
Use the digital twin for design review meetings, stakeholder presentations, and multi-trade coordination — helping all parties visualize and understand the construction plan together.
Use Cases
Practical applications and proven success scenarios across industries.
Renovation planning
Overlay renovation plans on existing buildings using AR to visualize proposed changes and coordinate construction sequences.
Design verification
Compare completed work against BIM specifications by overlaying the digital model onto the physical environment for visual inspection.
Field teams need executable spatial context
Construction and renovation teams already work with drawings, BIM models, issue lists, meeting notes, photos, and inspection records. The problem is that those materials rarely arrive at the exact point of work in a form that field teams can execute. Workers still need to translate design intent into physical placement, sequence, and verification under time pressure.
Construction Guidance connects BIM, CAD, 3D procedures, field records, and the digital twin so teams can understand where work should happen, how each step should be performed, and how completed work should be verified.
From design model to site execution
A practical workflow starts by importing BIM, CAD, point cloud, or equipment models into FactVerse. Buildings, floors, zones, systems, equipment, and routes become digital twin objects. Director is then used to author installation, commissioning, or inspection procedures. DataMesh One delivers those procedures to mobile and AR/MR devices, where field teams can follow steps, capture photos, record issues, and submit results.
The workflow connects design intent, site execution, deviation records, and acceptance evidence into one traceable operating context.
Where this creates the most value
MEP installation, equipment-room renovation, dense service corridors, hidden works, handover inspection, and owner coordination are high-value starting points. These scenarios have complex spatial relationships, high rework cost, and frequent communication gaps between design, construction, and operations teams.
Carry construction records into operations
The information collected during construction can continue beyond project handover. Asset locations, installation photos, acceptance records, issue resolution, and guided procedures can move into the FactVerse context for future inspection, maintenance, training, renovation, and emergency response.
Recommended rollout
Start with a focused area such as an equipment room, MEP corridor, renovation floor, or high-risk installation sequence. Validate model import, field visualization, step execution, deviation capture, and handover records first. Then expand to additional trades, asset classes, and construction-to-operations handover.

Frequently Asked Questions
The platform imports IFC, Revit (.rvt), and common 3D formats (FBX, OBJ, GLTF). Large BIM models with millions of elements are supported through optimized rendering.
Yes — the AR guidance works through iOS/Android mobile devices and HoloLens 2, designed for outdoor and indoor construction environments. No special infrastructure required.
