1 GAMMA AR Construction Site Supervision Facility Management With BIM + Augmented Reality

2 GAMMA AR: BIM for construction sites GAMMA AR brings BIM models to the construction site via augmented reality. Features of GAMMA AR: 1. Easy positioning on site 2. Easy comparison between planning and built reality 3. Retrieving component information from the BIM model 4. Component-specific defect detection 5. Component-specific comments, images, audio notes 6. Documenting construction progress regarding specific components. GAMMA AR is an application for monitoring construction sites. It uses augmented reality technology to overlay 3D Building Information Models (BIM) on construction sites using smartphones or tablets. With GAMMA AR, site managers, facility managers, craftsmen, among other actors involved in the construction process, can walk through the site and compare the reality with the planning information contained in 3D BIM models. GAMMA AR enables the visualization of 3D BIM models before and during the construction process; thereby, it creates an understanding of the planning avoiding errors and reducing the construction costs. In this way, site managers and planners of various disciplines (MEP, architecture, etc.) can work together on the construction site via the BIM model, prevent collisions and eliminate ambiguities before any errors are built. In addition, GAMMA AR allows the detection of errors directly in the BIM model so adjustments can be made in the planning, errors can be avoided and the construction progress can be monitored comprehensively.

3 Why does it make sense to use GAMMA AR? According to different sources, 10% of all construction costs are the result of errors that occur during the construction process. These errors result from both the misinterpretation of plans and the loss of information in printed planning documents. Furthermore, information is not available from one single source, which inevitably leads to inconsistencies between the different data records. Furthermore, reading plans and linking them with other pieces of information is time-consuming and prone to human errors. So far, site managers have documented changes on paper plans, which causes bureaucratic costs and increases the probability of inconsistencies in data transmission.

4 GAMMA AR is made for? GAMMA AR leads to new forms of cooperation between disciplines, actors and industries. GAMMA AR is developed for: Architects Site managers Facility manager HLS specialist planner Project Manager Building contractors Industries: Structural engineering Civil engineering Factory building Building operation Companies that develop complete process chains find great benefits in GAMMA AR. The GAMMA AR approach allows you to connect different software systems. This allows planners of all types to work in coordination. Site managers benefit from GAMMA AR by avoiding errors and having to interpret 2D plans. Facility managers can report errors or make adjustments directly via GAMMA AR to the BIM model and transmit this information to the other stakeholders involved in the construction process. GAMMA AR is an easy-to-use, intuitive-to-learn tool that allows you to apply it directly without any training that could increase the cost of your application. For construction companies, GAMMA AR represents great benefits: entire departments can be relieved as communication via 2D plans is no longer necessary. GAMMA AR creates digital communication channels between the site and the office. Real estate

5 GAMMA BIM PORTAL The GAMMA BIM PORTAL is the central interface for managing projects and models in GAMMA AR. Via the GAMMA BIM Portal you can upload IFC models, retrieve projects with other components and their comments, pictures, construction progress data. Employees in the office and on the site can access the same information and vote live. Data from GAMMA AR can be exported via the GAMMA BIM PORTAL and can be fed back into your BIM models via IFCguid, which closes the information circle and puts all information back in one place. Functions: Exchange of projects and models with several people. Uploading and automatically distributing models View of notes, pictures, comments and further construction progress data Retrieving data from objects Exporting GAMMA AR data via BCF or CSV
