ARlimit puts your BIM models on the construction site — at full scale, in augmented reality. Print a marker card from the ARlimit web console, place it on site, and scan it with your iPhone. Your IFC model appears exactly where it belongs, aligned with the real structure. Walk the site, compare as-built with as-planned, and produce inspection reports without leaving the field. HOW IT WORKS • Upload IFC models to the web console at arlimit.com • Place anchors on the model and print the matching marker cards • On site, scan a card with the app — the model locks onto the real world • Inspect, annotate, report KEY FEATURES • True-scale AR overlay of BIM/IFC models, anchored to printed markers • Tap a building element to identify it and see its IFC identity • Pin notes in 3D space, exactly where the issue is • Attach annotated photos captured with your phone camera • Generate professional PDF inspection reports from the field • Multi-floor projects and multiple models per project • Team workspaces with roles — owner, member, reporter • AR processing runs fully on-device; live camera frames never leave your phone WHO IT'S FOR BIM engineers, site inspectors, project managers and construction companies that want to close the gap between the model and the built reality. GETTING STARTED An ARlimit workspace account is required. Book a demo at https://arlimit.com and get your organization set up with a free trial. Requires an ARKit-compatible device running iOS 15 or later. Camera access is used only for the AR view and marker scanning. Privacy policy: https://arlimit.com/privacy
