A STRUCTURED FRAMEWORK FOR CLIENT-PROFESSIONAL COLLABORATION IN RENOVATION PROJECTS USING AR/VR TECHNOLOGIES

Residential renovation projects are plagued by fragmentation, cost uncertainty, and inefficient stakeholder communication. This paper presents a structured, patent-pending framework that integrates immersive technologies (VR/AR) within a cloud-based collaborative platform to address these challenges. A real-world case study in Bologna, Italy provided insights of the frameworks capabilities and compared them based on conventional tours. The findings show design time along with real-time cost estimation was considerably a shorter process while still proving accurate. The benefits of this approach offer enhanced transparency and client buy-in, providing an improved, transparent, model, now and for the future, for renovated project management.
