  • Improve Efficiency

    Visualize and interact with 3D data onsite and in the field to stay on schedule and avoid rework and extra costs.

  • Increase Productivity

    Encourage real-time collaboration and transparency among stakeholders to avoid errors and delays.

  • Put Vision into Context

    See the design intent on your jobsite. Empower field workers to make more informed decisions by giving models real-world context.

Connect AR benefits

Trimble Connect AR – Accessible. Accurate. Augmented Reality.

Drive value from your BIM model by getting it in the hands of more people onsite.

Data Trimble Connect

Simplify QA/QC Workflows

Simplify your Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QAQC) workflows, by identifying virtual to real clashes or coordination issues. Verify as-built conditions comply with the design. Allows for consistent communication and collaboration.

BIM Models in Augmented Reality

View BIM Models in Augmented Reality

Place your 3D models in their actual location onsite. Complex situations become intuitive as you see the problem directly in the real-world context.

Overlay the Real World

Accurately Position Models to Overlay the Real World

By establishing an accurately-positioned network of QR Markers, busy construction professionals can quickly and easily position their models on their job site.

Capture and Share AR

Capture and Share AR Photographs via Trimble Connect

Trimble Connect AR photographs can be captured and shared with the project team via Trimble Connect. These can easily flow into subsequent RFI/punch/checklist workflows.

Total Station AR

Integration with Trimble Connect and Trimble Field Tools

Utilise a turnkey solution with Trimble Connect, our software that provides simple web-based workflows to manage models and other data, and Trimble Robotic Total Stations, used to establish a highly accurate QR Marker network.

Industry-leading 3D Performance

Load large or complex models with minimal data preparation. Supports all common AEC file formats (not just a subset).

The Benefits of Augmented Reality for Construction

If Trimble Connect now includes augmented reality (AR) features for construction, here are potential benefits:

  1. Enhanced Visualisation:
    • Improved Understanding: AR allows users to visualize 3D models and construction plans overlaid onto the physical environment, aiding in better understanding of the project.
  2. On-Site Decision Making:
    • Real-time Context: Construction professionals can make informed decisions on-site by viewing relevant project data in real-time, leading to increased efficiency.
  3. Error Reduction:
    • Minimised Mistakes: AR can assist in reducing errors by providing an accurate visual representation of how construction elements should be placed or assembled.
  4. Collaboration and Communication:
    • Improved Communication: AR facilitates better communication among team members by providing a shared visual reference point, allowing for more effective collaboration.
  5. Progress Monitoring:
    • Visualising Progress: Construction progress can be overlaid onto the physical environment, allowing stakeholders to visualise completed and ongoing work.
  6. Training and Safety:
    • Training Simulations: AR can be used for training purposes, providing interactive and immersive simulations for construction tasks.
    • Enhanced Safety: Visualising hidden utilities or potential hazards through AR can contribute to improved safety measures on construction sites.
  7. Efficient Design Changes:
    • On-Site Design Adjustments: Design changes or modifications can be visualised on-site through AR, helping teams understand the impact of alterations before implementation.
  8. Remote Collaboration:
    • Remote Assistance: AR features may support remote collaboration, allowing experts or stakeholders to provide guidance or make decisions without being physically present at the construction site.
  9. Data Accessibility:
    • Cloud Integration: Integration with Trimble Connect and the cloud allows for easy access to project data and models, ensuring that stakeholders can retrieve and update information seamlessly.
