While VR will always be a cheaper and faster way to model and evaluate a building than actually constructing it, it’s still relatively expensive. Engineers, contractors, and architects can use VR to see and feel how a space or system will look or to virtually walk the owner through a building design. “Using VR for training is one of the first applications,” said Sivie.

This technology also gives project managers and field foremen the ability to interact with the model the same way the drawing group is able to in the office.” Contractors can fully immerse themselves in the model and truly walk a job site to spot issues and clashes.
Technology, such as the HTC lens, gives project teams the ability to visualize clash detection in ways not currently possible in Navisworks. “In preconstruction, it’s allowing project teams to visualize the job site in new ways. “Virtual reality is increasing its role in the HVAC industry,” said Amanda Comunale, director of construction piping services, Victaulic Co.
