WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Construction and fabrication teams struggle with precise guidance for complex tasks like curved brickwork and custom steelwork. Design-construction communication gaps lead to misinterpretation of 2D drawings, resulting in rework, delays, and cost overruns. Complex assemblies require repeated reference between design documents and physical work.

The Solution

Streams 3D models from Rhino, Grasshopper, and Revit in real-time to AR/MR devices, overlaying exact placement instructions onto physical space at full scale. Workers see spatially-accurate guidance in their field of view, eliminating interpretation gaps. Twinbuild enables Revit/IFC integration with 3mm positioning accuracy for precise construction coordination.
