How construction companies are using virtual reality to plan, build and manage complicated projects
Virtual reality could make it easier to build complex utility projects, like a wastewater treatment plant, and it could also help workers train on heavy equipment when the facility is complete. Originally, Bouianov’s plan was to use virtual reality for training purposes at hospitals and nuclear facilities before eventually deciding to focus on construction documentation. Mortenson is looking at developing VR training programs for projects it is working on, like the West Campus Utility Plant for the University of Washington, where employees will operate chillers, cooling towers, generators and other heavy machinery.
Overall, virtual reality has great potential for the construction industry, both for third party companies building virtual environments, and contractors making programs in house. Bouianov has always been interested in construction, and he saw documenting projects as a costly and time-consuming part of the process that could be simplified by technology. But he isn’t the only one, and now many contractors are facing the dilemma of which apps, headsets and ideas fit best for their projects.
“There are many potential solutions to chose from,” Bouianov said. “So going from almost no technology to a lot of technology, the challenge construction companies are facing is choice, making an informed choice.”

I see. VR promoted by Mark Zuckerberg has great potential for the construction industry. He is truly a great person that he change the world the world so much. He helps human to be more advanced than before. I really want to thank to him.
