“…A. Sidani et al (2019) propose a systematic review, following the PRISMA protocol, to assess the effectiveness and usability of AR tools integrated with BIM in the AECO sector, focusing on project management improvements, cost reduction, and the potential to replace traditional methods [15]. Al-Adhami et al (2019) also discuss technical challenges associated with BIM and AR integration, such as model complexity, data format, and AR device capability [6].…”

This research addresses a significant challenge in the construction industry: the traditional reliance on CAD drawings and manual methods for building inspection and monitoring. This article presents a transformative proposal utilizing Augmented Reality (AR) to revolutionize these processes. The proposed model is based on an innovative integration of AR technology with Building Information Modeling (BIM), aiming to enhance data life-cycle management and improve the efficiency of construction management practices. The main goal of the article is to demonstrate the practical feasibility and benefits of this AR-BIM integration in construction management, particularly in the realms of inspection and monitoring. This involves developing and testing an accessible, user-friendly, and affordable AR application prototype for mobile devices, employing multiple markers, as a potential replacement for traditional methods. The research methodology comprises five phases, starting with the conversion of 2D CAD drawings into 3D BIM, followed by the simulation of AR-BIM integration at a construction site using a commercial AR application. This is succeeded by assessing the applicability of the commercial AR app and developing a multiple-marker AR application prototype suitable for general platforms. The final phase encompasses the testing and evaluation of this prototype. The findings suggest that the integration of 3D BIM with AR technology is not only feasible, but also beneficial in replacing paper-based processes, thereby enhancing information sharing, communication, and overall project execution efficiency. However, the accuracy of the superimposition between virtual and actual objects needs improvement to reduce discrepancies between as-built and as-planned scenarios. These results hold significant potential for transforming construction project execution by replacing traditional methods with more efficient digital solutions. Future research directions include extensive testing in various construction scenarios, improving model complexity handling, exploring the application of machine learning algorithms for data analysis, and expanding the study to encompass other stages of the construction lifecycle.
