AUGMENTED REALITY
Map reality and verify accuracy with AR floorplans, visual measurements, and equipment placement planning. Create digital twins that bring your site documentation to life.
Key Tools for Augmented Reality
Every AR feature is built to help you map reality, verify accuracy, and create digital twins of your sites.
AR Floorplans & Annotations
Create or upload your site layout and attach notes, photos, and measurements directly onto an AR floorplan. Perfect for identifying snag points and visualising progress.
Visual Measurements
Take accurate measurements using your mobile device's camera. Measure distances, areas, and volumes directly in real-world spaces with AR technology.
Equipment Placement Planning
Visualise equipment layouts in real environments before installation. Place AR markers for equipment placement or cable routing to confirm fit and alignment.
Digital Twins
Create digital representations of physical spaces that update in real-time. Link AR data to your project documentation for complete site intelligence.
AR Markers & Overlays
Place AR markers for equipment placement or cable routing and perform visual overlays to confirm fit and alignment — reducing installation errors before they happen.
Verifiable Proof
Save AR data as verifiable proof for client handovers. All measurements, placements, and overlays are timestamped and geotagged for complete documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers below — for the full explanation, open each question or browse all AR floorplan FAQs.
What is AR floorplan capture for site surveys?
AR floorplan capture uses the camera and motion sensors on a smartphone or tablet to measure spaces and generate accurate digital floor plans as you walk around a building. The app overlays a real-time spatial grid onto the camera view, allowing the surveyor to mark corners, walls, doors, and windows by pointing at them rather than measuring manually.
Read full answer →How accurate are AR-generated floorplans?
On LiDAR-enabled devices, SiteSurvey AR floorplans typically achieve dimensional accuracy within 1 to 2% of the true measurement for rooms up to 20 metres in length. For a 10-metre wall, this translates to a variance of roughly 10 to 20 centimetres, which is acceptable for the majority of commercial survey, space planning, and fit-out applications.
Read full answer →What equipment do I need to capture AR floorplans on site?
To capture AR floorplans with SiteSurvey you need a compatible iOS or Android smartphone or tablet. No additional hardware is required to get started. The SiteSurvey app is available from the App Store and Google Play, and AR capture is included as part of the standard platform.
Read full answer →How long does it take to capture an AR floorplan on site?
A standard rectangular room of 20 to 50 square metres typically takes 2 to 5 minutes to capture using SiteSurvey AR floorplan capture. A full floor containing 10 to 15 rooms, including corridors and ancillary spaces, can usually be completed in under an hour by an operative working at a normal pace.
Read full answer →Can AR floorplans be exported to CAD or other formats?
Yes, AR floorplans captured in SiteSurvey can be exported in multiple formats from the web portal. DXF export allows plans to be opened and edited in AutoCAD, DraftSight, or any other CAD application that supports the DXF interchange format. This is the most commonly requested export for design, fit-out, and building management workflows.
Read full answer →How does AR floorplan capture compare to traditional tape measure surveys?
AR floorplan capture is faster than a traditional tape measure survey for most commercial spaces. Where a tape survey requires two people to measure each wall, record dimensions on a hand sketch, and then redraw the plan in a CAD or drawing package after leaving site, AR capture produces a dimensioned digital plan in real time as the surveyor walks the space. A single surveyor can capture a room with AR in the time it would take a pair to set up a tape for one wall.
