About this app

The CMGi BuildAR app is an innovative new property visualisation tool using the magic of augmented reality. It gives home builders, architects and developers the ultimate tool to visualise their entire range of plans, in augmented reality, at the touch of a button.

What can you do with this app:
- Walk through the home on your chosen block - like its really there!
- Create trust between the builder and client while increasing the clients confidence in the home they have selected
- Reduce structural variations during the build due to the client already walking through a 1:1 real life scaled model
- Utilise the size of your block by confirming site boundaries while also ensuring the house is sited to take advantage of the sun and any other client requirements

Make 2D plans a thing of the past and let your clients understand their design by letting them explore it at full scale. Augmented reality is one of the most revolutionary technologies of the 21st century. Embracing it will be the key to reducing variations, securing more sales and larger contracts.
