1 Broadgate leading the way with AR tools

Our project team at 1 Broadgate are pioneering the future of construction with cutting-edge digital tools such as Augmented Reality (AR).

Augmented Reality (AR) is the latest digital construction technology to be put to work by our digital team at 1 Broadgate.

Sir Robert McAlpine's Digital Construction Managers at 1 Broadgate are pioneering the future of construction with cutting-edge digital tools such as Augmented Reality (AR) innovative technology from XYZ Reality.

Watch the full video below to hear from our experts and find out how AR is transforming our approach to delivering 1 Broadgate for British Land, allowing us to identify and resolve issues in real-time, increase efficiencies, ultimately reducing programme times and enhancing collaboration.

From tight timelines to sustainability targets, we're leveraging digital technology tools to benefit the project.

In June, our team began a Knowledge Transfer Partnership with University College London (UCL), Innovate UK, the UK’s national innovation agency, and XYZ Reality, a construction AR platform. The partnership seeks to quantify the benefits of AR using XYZ’s ATOM headset on a construction site.
