BIM Augmented/Virtual Reality App for Construction

BIM Augmented Reality Android App for Construction
➡Building Information Modeling (BIM) based mobile application which simulates cost, safety and quality information by linking MS-Project and BIM 3D model on 2D Based drawings
BIM can be viewed as a virtual process that encompasses all aspects, disciplines, and systems of a facility within a single, virtual model, allowing all design team members (owners, architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers) to collaborate more accurately and efficiently than using traditional processes. As the model is being created, team members are constantly refining and adjusting their portions according to project specifications

Open to new opportunities. Software used: 1. Unity 3D (Application algorithm ) 2.Vuforia (For AR ) 3.Google Cardboard (For VR) 4. Revit, 3DS max, or Maxon 4D (For 3D model) 5.Ms Project or Primevera (Constraint Information) Hope this helped :-)

Hi sir, That was very good work. Sir I am also working on Implementing AR on site. Sir can you please guide me how integrated 4D and 5D BIM models in Augmented Reality

[@charleena2319]

Amazing work!! I am working with Unity and building different models with Blender and Sketchup. Would you make a tutorial on how you created this app? I am an engineering student and want to include something like this in my bachelor thesis.

[@rafaelmanahan8611]

hello , nice work

[@sanketghadge100]

I was thrilled to see the content of the video and the way you could get this much amount of information in there. i have some questions can i get you mail? Thank you.

Nice work bro!! I´ve been using the Cinema 4D/Vuforia/Unity team for a while and the results are incredibles, but I´m still in the beginner zone XD I want to put all those actions buttons to my projects, becasue for the moment, i only drag my 3D model to the image target and whe I run the App, the only action that the 3d object can do, is to appear :( Could you please tell me if you took a course or maybe a tutorial to put the actions buttons? Thanks my friend!

[@sriramsrinivas4431]

Thank you, Please check the Unity 3D and Vufoira tutorials

[@khalidb.6604]

Great work, how did you add the possibility to show/hide the model of each discipline by simple click?

[@sriramsrinivas4431]

Thank you, I used Unity 3D controls

[@jorgenascimento218]

Very good job! I was curious, you can make an application that serves several buildings, more generally, or was the application focused only on this building? Any other questions, any changes online, also modify in the application, automatically? Or would you need to update the project on unity and compile the application?

[@sriramsrinivas4431]

Thank you Jorge. Prototype is designed​ so that it can handle any building model and it extract constraints automatically from the building data.

[@jorgenascimento218]

How did you use ms project in Unity? Which format is exported?

[@sriramsrinivas4431]

+Jorge Nascimento We have to export ms project file in open format like xls,csv,txt and docx which are readable in unity engine.

[@jorgenascimento218]

Congratulations on your work, it really is awesome. I'm developing something similar to your project, for my college course completion work, and there are many variables to link to Ms Project in a generalized way. I can only develop the script for a single project at a time, not automatically like yours. Can you export the 3d model already in ifc to unity? I only get in FBX

[@sriramsrinivas4431]

For BIM models it's important to optimize your mesh data before it comes into Unity inside 3DS max/Similar to reduce the size. BIM modelling tools produce heavy mesh content (Polygon Count) and it will slow the frame rates if there is too much happening on screen. There is currently no direct way of converting data from IFC/NWC file formats and you will have to spend some time producing a script that can read the content inside the Unity the way you want it too. Could be a simple on screen GUI command that reads the name of the mesh. So we usually export in fbx format from modelling software to reduce the effort FBX imports normally come in the element name and an FBM folder that has the materials from modelling software which is useful. FBX files come in relatively smoothly into Unity, frame rate performs even better when the mesh is optimized.

My name is Mohemmed Yasser. I am based in Hyderabad and I have recently started a firm named OSAF Tech. The idea behind the formation of firm is to bring virtual reality in civil industry in India. I have two Oculus Rifts and one HTC Vive. I will be using them to convert 3d into VR for civil real estate companies. I am looking to hire someone with your type of talent and interest in working with latest equipments to get a headstart. If you are interested please share your CV so that I can talk to you.
