Construction
3D viz cuts over 10% off construction rework.
Rework runs around 12% of a typical construction budget. Recent BIM studies point to the same practical lesson: shared 3D understanding catches problems earlier. The mechanism is unglamorous, but useful.
Twelve percent of a typical construction project budget is rework. That is the figure cited across recent peer-reviewed BIM studies, and it is consistent across building, infrastructure, and rail. The number does not move much when you change country, currency, or method of procurement. Rework is a constant.
The same body of research, including a 2025 paper in Nature Scientific Reports on bridge projects and a 2025 paper in Springer Discover Materials on building projects, points to BIM-driven 3D coordination as a way to find clashes and uncertainty before they become site problems.

Why "BIM coordination" is the wrong frame for the value
BIM is a methodology, not a deliverable. Stakeholders do not see BIM. They see the meeting where the architect and the contractor and the developer all look at the same model and disagree about something they could not see in a 2D drawing. BIM gets credit for the savings; the meeting is where the savings happen.
flyAR is downstream of that meeting. We take whatever the architect and engineer have already made, strip it down, optimise it for the browser and the phone, and preserve the public-facing parts. The investor. The planning committee. The neighbour at the public hearing. The buyer at the sales centre. They get a version of the model they can actually open and understand.
One development can enrich every public channel
The same optimized 3D scene can work on site as a 1:1 real-scale AR visualization, online as an embedded 3D element, and with print materials as a WebAR experience. That is the point: one development can support public-facing marketing and communications across the channels where the project already has to explain itself.
For flyAR, this is close to our ARea direction: take the project data, make it lighter and public-safe, then turn it into an interactive 3D and AR layer for the places where people need to understand the future site.
If you want a sanity check, send us the project brief. We will tell you honestly where sharing the 3D model early is likely to help on your shape of project, and where it will not.
Project where you are not sure whether AR is the right call? Send a project note. We will tell you on the first call.
