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
- 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.
Close the gap between design intent and field execution
BIM models represent design intent. Construction reality often deviates. AR-guided construction keeps field work aligned with design by projecting digital plans onto the physical environment through DataMesh One — workers see exactly what should be built, where.
Bring expert guidance to every construction site
Not every site has experienced supervisors. Director-authored 3D procedures ensure consistent installation quality by providing step-by-step guidance that any worker can follow on-site through DataMesh One.
Review and coordinate before building
When multiple trades share the same space, coordination before installation is critical. The FactVerse digital twin enables spatial review where all parties can visualize the plan together, discuss issues, and agree on sequencing before work begins.

Proven in the Field
Obayashi Corporation deployed DataMesh Director to provide MR-guided construction procedures for railway tunnel work. By overlaying BIM models with DataMesh One, field workers could verify each construction step against the digital plan — reducing interpretation errors and improving work quality across multiple job sites.
