Abstract

This study explores the strategic integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Reality (VR) within the built environment, addressing the growing complexities of urban development. Through a detailed examination of BIM applications, the research highlights a 37 % reduction in design conflicts and iterations, thereby enhancing design precision and efficiency in urban construction projects. Simultaneously, VR technology is demonstrated to increase stakeholder engagement by 62 % and improve spatial awareness by 48 %, fostering greater community participation and inclusivity in the development process. The combined use of BIM and VR optimizes not only construction workflows but also considerably…
