Project Description

Gamuda BIMAR (Building Information Modelling Augmented Reality) is a mobile AR application that enables construction teams to overlay 3D BIM models directly onto live construction sites. This gives engineers and inspectors real-world context to validate built works, improve coordination, and make faster, more accurate on-site decisions. Madison Technologies partnered with Gamuda to build the solution end-to-end—from concept to deployment—including the AR visualization engine, BIM model integration, and delivery-ready workflows designed for large-scale infrastructure environments as part of Gamuda's digital construction ecosystem.

Key Technical Decisions

Built a Unity-based AR visualization engine optimized for real construction site conditions and field usability

Implemented BIM model ingestion and rendering workflows that keep large, detailed models usable and stable on mobile devices

Designed for inspection and validation workflows to surface discrepancies early and reduce downstream rework

Delivered production-ready deployment workflows to support adoption across engineers and site teams
