See 3D Building Models
Directly on Your Jobsite.
No complicated setup. Stick a printed Alignment Target on the pre-determined location on site, point your camera, and watch your 3D blueprints lock into place in real life. Compare digital plans with real construction instantly.
How It Works in 3 Simple Steps
Anyone on site can use OnsiteBIM in seconds. No training or surveyor tools required.
1. Place Alignment Target in BIM & Print
Place the Alignment Target inside your 3D BIM model, export your IFC file directly to OnsiteBIM, and stick the printed Alignment Target on the pre-determined location on site.
2. Point Your Camera
Open OnsiteBIM on your iPhone or iPad and point your camera at the Alignment Target. The app recognizes it instantly.
3. Inspect in 3D
Your 3D model locks right into place. Walk around, look behind walls, check pipe locations, and measure distances.
Built for Real Jobsites & Real People
Powerful features made simple enough for anyone to inspect construction quality in minutes.
Automatic 3D Equipment & Model Placement
Place Alignment Targets directly inside your 3D BIM project, extract your IFC file, and use it directly on the app. Just point your camera at the printed Alignment Target—OnsiteBIM instantly calculates the exact position, angle, and height of your 3D mechanical equipment, pumps, or building blueprints right on the jobsite floor.
- Native IFC Integration: Place Alignment Targets in BIM, extract IFC, and use directly on OnsiteBIM.
- Sub-Centimeter Accuracy: Snaps 3D equipment models directly onto physical Alignment Target coordinates.
- Stays Locked: Walk away and return—your 3D model stays anchored.
- No WiFi Needed: Works 100% offline directly on your device.
See Through Walls or Hide Behind Them
With 1 tap of the OCCLUDE button, toggle LiDAR depth masking. Switch to X-Ray mode to see pipes, cables, and structural beams inside walls—or turn occlusion ON so physical concrete walls naturally hide objects behind them.
- X-Ray View: Check hidden plumbing and HVAC ducts before drywalling.
- Real Depth Occlusion: Physical walls mask digital objects naturally.
- Spot Clashes Early: Catch misalignments before expensive rework.
Blend Blueprints over Real Life
Use the on-screen OPACITY slider to fade your 3D building model from 0% to 100%. Set it to 50% to see your 3D digital pipes directly overlaid on installed ceiling hangers.
- Real-Time Slider: Smoothly fade digital plans over live camera.
- Quick Presets: Tap 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% with work gloves on.
- Easy Quality Checks: Verify if installations match design specs.
Instant 3D Tape Measure
Tap any two points in 3D space to measure exact horizontal clearance distances between pipes and HVAC ducts (such as 0.15 meters / 6 inches). Gives instant dual readouts in both metric meters and feet & inches.
- Horizontal & Vertical Distance: Measure clearance between blue pipes and grey ducts instantly.
- Dual Units Readout: Shows meters (0.15 m) and feet/inches (0' 6") simultaneously.
- Glove-Friendly Controls: Large touch targets for jobsite use.
