Virtual Reality in Construction Design

This paper is about visualizing the 2D paper planned construction design into an immersive 3D using virtual Reality Technology. The client/customer would experience their planned construction before they start to build. The Simulation of construction is to built using Unity 3D engine and C# scripts to make the environment more realistic. By using VR headset, the constructional scenes of the building can be viewed and with the help of the hand controllers the navigation can be done. This method helps to convince the client/customer with high level of satisfaction towards their constructional design. The 3D virtual visualizing is a never before experience for the clients who dreams to build their construction more precisely. Our primary objective is to implement Virtual reality in construction sector in more efficient way as possible by replacing the traditional methods which is prone to error and still fails in some aspects of transferring the idea between builders and clients thus leading to post construction demolition by unsatisfactory reason. The Virtual reality helps in understanding, analyzing and most importantly it upgrades the level of communication between the builders and clients. This helps a lot in eradicating the losses due to unsatisfactory reasons and as it can be implemented in various phases during construction, it can be implemented in individual phase to track the progress and resolve errors in a compound interval course of the construction/architecture being built.
