Abstract

The world is a constant development circle of new construction and renovation of built assets. It is crucial for all parties involved to comprehend, participate, communicate, and work together during the design process of a building in order to produce a high-quality design. The building industry is gradually moving away from traditional methods and toward a highly developed digitalized form of construction. Modern tools for the industry's digital transition, like BIM and VR, are essential. Accuracy, safety, efficiency, and the whole project life cycle are all improved by BIM with VR from conceptual design to construction.

The difficulties of communication between engineers, stakeholders and clients through AEC industry in Egypt lead to major problems that usually end up with waste time and resources, this research purpose is to prove the applicability of BIM – VR integration in current Egyptian AEC sector as an approach to reduce the communication gap and elevate construction industry in Egypt. The research examines and experiment conducted through engineering disciples and results in the promising applicability of virtual reality technology in Egypt.
