What is DeltaARBIM?
What you get
10 built-in capabilities
See your BIM model on the actual site Point your iPad at the construction site and your IFC model appears — overlaid on the real structure in front of you. Like X-ray vision for your building.
Millimetre-level precision, not guesswork The model aligns to the physical site at ±2cm accuracy. What you see in AR matches exactly where walls, columns, and slabs should be — and where they actually are.
Check if what's built matches what was designed Compare the real structure against the approved BIM model on site — before work gets covered up, enclosed, or concreted over.
Spot conflicts before they become problems See where the built structure doesn't match the design model. Catch clashes during construction — not during a coordination meeting weeks later.
Log problems the moment you see them Found a deviation? Take a photo, add a note, assign it to someone — all from the AR view on site. No paperwork. No chasing emails.
Know exactly what's done and what isn't Mark completed work directly against the BIM model. See what's built, what's pending, and what needs attention — updated in real time.
Works anywhere. Even with zero signal. No Wi-Fi. No mobile data. No internet at all. DeltaARBIM runs fully offline — perfect for basements, remote sites, tunnels, and restricted project environments.
Works with your existing BIM files Load IFC files directly — no conversion, no special format, no extra steps. Compatible with Revit, ArchiCAD, Tekla, and any BIM tool that exports IFC.
One iPad. Up to 25 metres of coverage. Uses the iPad Pro's built-in LiDAR scanner to anchor the model to the physical site. No specialist hardware. No expensive equipment. Just your iPad.
Share issues with your existing BIM tools Export flagged issues in BCF format — the standard format used by BIMcollab, Navisworks, and other coordination platforms. Fits straight into your existing workflow.

Frequently asked
1. Do I need internet on site to use DeltaARBIM?+
No. DeltaARBIM works 100% offline. Once your IFC model is loaded, the app runs entirely on your iPad — no Wi-Fi, no mobile data, no internet connection required. Built for basements, remote sites, tunnels, and any environment where connectivity is unreliable or restricted.
2. How accurate is the AR overlay on site?+
±2cm precision. DeltaARBIM uses iPad Pro's built-in LiDAR scanner to anchor the BIM model to the physical site at ±2cm accuracy. That's precise enough to catch structural deviations, verify MEP routes, and confirm column positions — before work gets covered up.
3. Which BIM file formats does DeltaARBIM support?+
All major BIM and CAD formats used in the AEC industry. DeltaARBIM supports IFC, RVT, NWD, DWG, and other standard formats — so whatever tool your team uses to design, DeltaARBIM can work with it on site. No format switching. No compatibility headaches. Just load and verify.
4. What hardware do I need to run DeltaARBIM?+
Works across devices — performs best on iPad Pro. DeltaARBIM runs on a range of devices, so your existing site hardware is likely compatible. For the most precise AR overlay and the full ±2cm accuracy experience, iPad Pro with LiDAR gives the best results — but your team isn't locked into one device.
5. How does DeltaARBIM reduce rework costs?+
By catching deviations at the moment work is happening — not after. Industry data shows rework costs 5–9% of total project value. Most rework happens because structural or MEP errors are discovered too late — after concrete is poured, after walls are closed, after installation is complete. DeltaARBIM puts the approved BIM model directly on site, in AR, so your team can verify in real time. One deviation caught early costs a fraction of what it becomes if missed.
6. Why is DeltaARBIM important for the AEC industry?+
Because the gap between BIM and the construction site is where projects fail. The AEC industry has invested heavily in BIM — better models, better coordination, better clash detection. But all of that happens in an office, on a screen, before construction begins. On site, the story is different. Site teams are still working from printed drawings, PDFs, and memory — manually interpreting what the model says and trying to apply it to a physical structure. That interpretation gap is where deviations enter the project. Where rework begins. Where disputes are born. DeltaARBIM closes that gap by bringing the approved BIM model directly to the site — overlaid on the physical structure in AR at ±2cm precision. The result: -> Deviations caught early — before work is enclosed, concreted, or completed -> Rework reduced — industry data shows rework costs 5–9% of total project value -> Site teams empowered — engineers verify work themselves, on the ground, in real time -> BIM investment protected — the coordination work done in the office actually reaches the site -> Disputes prevented — verified as-built documentation replaces verbal claims For an industry where a single structural error can cost more to fix than months of software subscription, on-site BIM verification isn't optional anymore.
