FieldAR

About this app

The FieldAR mobile app enables your entire project team to effortlessly view the latest BIM/3D design models overlaid onto your real-world construction site using precision augmented reality. The primary objective of the FieldAR platform is to facilitate a central means of truth concerning quality assurance, quality control, and precise locations of installed systems and equipment at an active and/or finished construction project site. The FieldAR platform includes an augmented reality mobile app for iOS and Android smartphones and tables, plugins for industry-standard BIM software applications, as well as a web portal for comprehensive project and user management. The mobile app and plugins work in conjunction to provide users with a seamless workflow of transmitting information between off-site BIM management and a construction site. The FieldAR mobile app enables users to visualize BIM/3D models overlaid onto real-world construction sites with a simple, single-tap operation, empowering even non-tech-savvy field staff with the ease of visualizing the exact locations of designed building system elements.

FieldAR supports 8 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Polish, Russian, and Chinese (zh-Hans).
