Architecture Engineering Construction (AEC) industry are known for their inefficient service, poor quality, delivery delay, and cost overrun. To overcome these challenges, the construction industry is adopting a new method called Building Information Modeling (BIM). This procedure uses large databases of information to characterize almost all qualities and aspects of a structure or system. BIM is currently used for projects’ design phases; therefore, BIM engineers complain about the lack of relevance during on-site work. With the help of augmented reality (AR), BIM models will move to the construction site. In the first part of the thesis, two research questions will be answered: What are the beneficial effects that AR brings to BIM (RQ1)? What are the limitation and challenges of adopting AR and BIM at a construction site (RQ2)? In the second part of the thesis, several AR and BIM applications are reviewed and explained.    «
