Özet

The development of digital technologies in the construction sector, alongside the healthcare, industrial, and automotive sectors where technology has a wide range of applications, has created a significant transformation in building production processes and has enabled the widespread use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Augmented Reality (AR) applications in particular. In this study, a two-storey villa with an area of 300 m2 was designed to demonstrate the application of technology adaptation in the construction sector. This designed project was adapted using an AR application as a result of Revit → 3ds Max → Unity → tablet APK, and new designs meeting the needs and expectations of three different customers were created. Subsequently, the resulting cost, time and quality items were evaluated. Taking the average of the three studies, the reconstruction cost is approximately 14% (16,237 USD) of the initial construction cost, and the average additional working days are approximately 18% (42 working days) of the total working days. This study, which aimed to eliminate or minimize reconstruction costs, working days and quality loss, sought to emphasize the importance of design quality, cost and working day loss based on the results obtained.
