Popis: Building information modeling (BIM) is one of the most popular technologies contributing to information handling. However, the technology’s contribution to fieldwork is very limited due to the limited interaction between the real and virtual world. Integrating BIM with augmented reality (AR) is believed to highly increase BIM’s applicability to fieldwork. Therefore, the aim of the study is to examine the credibility of BIM integration into AR (AR–BIM) in the construction industry. A case study is adopted, computing the AR–BIM system through Structure Sensor, Unity 3D, and C#. The results show that BIM is compatible for integration with the AR platform. Although the preliminary AR–BIM system is not perfect compared to the marketed product, the initial investment cost of this system is much cheaper, while conserving the benefits of BIM in AR. This study is important to raise awareness among construction stakeholders about the adoption of technology. The stakeholders left out of the industrial revolution (IR 4.0) will lose their competitiveness in both local and international markets.
