Immersive BIM · 1:1 model review

The people
who install it
can test
the model.

Forefront IO brings federated BIM models into a 1:1 immersive environment where field teams, trades and VDC can review real model conditions at full scale — then use trade-aware model checking to surface potential issues before construction.

Walk the model at full scale · inspect BIM data · measure conditions · run trade-aware checks · review candidate issues

Review the BIM
at full scale
From coordination to installation

Clash-clear is not
install-clear.

A coordinated BIM model can still contain conditions that are difficult to install, access or maintain. Forefront IO gives the people closest to that work a way to review those conditions at 1:1 scale and test the model using trade-specific requirements.

See the condition. Stand in it. Then test it. Full-scale BIM review + trade-aware model checking

Trade-aware model checking

Not a chat.
A sequence.

Trade input

“Check working clearance in front of every panel.”

01
Ask

Trade language enters.

Describe the condition in the language used in the field.

02
Interpret

Intent is mapped.

The request becomes a structured model check.

03
Identify

Elements are found.

Relevant BIM elements and metadata are identified.

04
Apply

Requirement applied.

The configured rule or project standard defines the test.

05
Evaluate

The model is checked.

Geometry and model data are evaluated against the requirement.

06
Review

Your team decides.

Accepted candidate conditions become issues.

Trade language → structured intent → BIM elements
Requirement → model evaluation → candidate
The language model helps interpret the ask. The model and requirement do the check. Your team reviews the result.
Who it's for

Built for the people
who have to make it work.

Different disciplines ask different questions. Forefront turns the question into a model check, then returns a candidate for the coordination team to review.

01 / 04
Electrical

“Check working clearance in front of every panel.”

02 / 04
Mechanical

“Can we actually get the filters out of these units?”

03 / 04
Plumbing

“Do I have wrench space on these valves?”

04 / 04
Superintendent

“Can a crew actually work this corridor?”

The boundary matters

VDC stays
in charge.

You own the model. You own the issues. Forefront adds a trade-aware checking pass underneath your existing coordination process — not a replacement for it.

01
Candidate, not verdict. The check surfaces conditions for review.
02
Same federated model. The check works against coordinated model data.
03
Your team chooses the checks. Discipline, requirement and scope stay controlled.
04
Write-back only after accept. Accepted candidates enter the issue workflow.
Immersive review

Stand in the room
the check is about.

Review the condition at full scale when spatial judgement matters. The headset is the review surface. The product is the check.
