VRs Lönsamhet i Byggbranschen : En studie om Virtual Reality i byggbranschen

Virtual Reality in the construction industry has begun to get its foothold, the use of thetechnique is somehow mixed up of being a show-off tool for visual presentations and not reallycontributing to economic improvements. The project aims to investigate if virtual reality couldcontribute to profitability when used in the construction-design phase to prevent design errorsfrom occurring which later leads to cost overruns in the specific project. The information wasmainly collected through literature studies and a 10-question survey. Phone-interviews are laterexecuted with experienced construction engineers that is familiar with the new technique tocomplement parts of the survey that didn’t cover enough facts. The results of this study showthat using virtual reality during the construction-design phase when projecting schools, hospitals,residence and hotels leads to less expenses throughout the project by preventing design errorsfrom occurring thanks to the virtual visualisation the technique offers. Dealing with designerrors in the early stage of the project could therefore help companies to reduce unexpectedexpenses and present more accurate cost estimates.
