Overview

About this programme

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies are transforming the construction and architecture industries by enhancing visualization, collaboration, and project planning. When integrated with Building Information Modeling (BIM), VR and AR allow stakeholders to interact with digital building models in immersive environments, improving design accuracy, communication, and decision-making.

This course equips participants with practical knowledge on how VR and AR technologies can be used alongside BIM to improve design visualization, project coordination, and construction planning. The programme focuses on immersive model visualization, digital collaboration, construction simulation,and real-time project review using VR/AR technologies.

Participants will gain practical skills in using VR and AR tools to visualize BIM models, detect design issues, improve stakeholder communication, and enhance construction project management.
