Today, technological advancements enable us to work remotely and still be connected in real-time. For professionals in the building industry, Virtual Reality (VR) is a revolutionary, new technology that ensures a real-time relay of communication to multiple stakeholders. This disruptive nature of VR for architects is making huge strides in design experience and communication. While design communication traditionally comprised of sketches, drawings, models and semantic descriptions, we have expanded our understanding to explore alternative dimensions to such outputs. VR is the only advancement in the design sector which acts as a technique and gives an output. It is a one-stop solution that reduces multitasking. Through VR for architects we no longer see what we want to see – rather, we see what will eventually be and as was designed. Trezi is India’s VR-first architectural design communication and collaboration product that generates an immersive computer-based project en...

Most people believe the construction process is an organized, linear and predictable phenomenon planned top-down into design, contracts and execution packages. But, in reality, the disputed factors of a building project include design decisions, deadlines, man-hours, cost-cutting, material decisions, and client satisfaction, among others. Virtual Reality (VR) is a contemporary, tech-enabled solution that resolves such disputes by addressing the limitations of design, time and money in relation to project stakeholders. As a virtual meeting platform for the building industry, all project stakeholders can virtually be in the same project space on a 1:1 scale, irrespective of their real-time locations. Among the available architecture software options, Trezi is a VR product that allows as many stakeholders as are needed to collaborate on a project in a virtual work-space. The multi-user collaboration feature in Trezi replaces complications in coordinating physical meetings among pr...
