Watch the full video below to hear from our experts and find out how AR is transforming our approach to delivering 1 Broadgate for British Land, allowing us to identify and resolve issues in real-time, increase efficiencies, ultimately reducing programme times and enhancing collaboration.

From tight timelines to sustainability targets, we're leveraging digital technology tools to benefit the project.

In June, our team began a Knowledge Transfer Partnership with University College London (UCL), Innovate UK, the UK’s national innovation agency, and XYZ Reality, a construction AR platform. The partnership seeks to quantify the benefits of AR using XYZ’s ATOM headset on a construction site.
