Quality Assurance with Smart Glasses

General Construction

Real-Time Visual QA Checklists

Use case: Workers follow visual QA checklists through AR overlays while inspecting finished framing or structure.

  • Reduces human error by ensuring every step is followed.

  • Saves time by keeping hands free and checklists in direct view.

  • Provides photo/video evidence for documentation and audit.

Live Remote Inspection

Use case: Site workers stream live video to offsite QA inspectors for real-time approvals.

  • Minimises rework delays by getting instant feedback.

  • Reduces travel costs and inspection scheduling conflicts.

  • Increases documentation accuracy with recorded sessions.

As-Built Comparison Overlays

Use case: Smart Glasses overlay BIM models to confirm that the actual build matches design specs.

  • Identifies deviations immediately before next phase begins.

  • Ensures compliance with structural tolerances.

  • Enhances communication across trades on-site.

Civil Construction

Concrete Pour Monitoring

Use case: QA personnel use AR to overlay pour maps and check slab thickness or reinforcement placement live.

  • Ensures consistency in depth and layout.

  • Reduces risks of cracking or structural failure.

  • Captures pour date/time/location visually for recordkeeping.

Underground Services Verification

Use case: Workers validate pipe/cable placement before backfill using AR overlays of utility maps.

  • Prevents future excavation errors and rework.

  • Confirms placement accuracy per engineering drawings.

  • Improves audit trail with geotagged visual confirmation.

Road Grade and Slope Confirmation

Use case: AR Glasses display grade and elevation data aligned to design specifications while checking road base.

  • Allows precise grading QA in real-time.

  • Cuts down on surveying time and rework.

  • Improves drainage and long-term surface quality.

Residential Construction

Finish Quality Inspection

  • Standardises QA checks across multiple homes.

  • Ensures client-ready finishes before walkthroughs.

  • Flags defects early while teams are still on-site.

Use case: QA staff visually check paint, plaster, cabinetry, and tiling with checklist overlays.

Smart Tagging Tools

Use case: Workers tag defects via voice or gesture in their field of view during walkthroughs.

  • Speeds up defect capture and reporting.

  • Syncs directly to ‘punch’ or ‘snag’ list systems.

  • Improves collaboration between QA and trades.

HVAC and Plumbing Verification

Use case: AR overlays show hidden pipe and duct locations before wall closure.

  • Prevents damage to hidden systems.

  • Ensures all routing matches design and code.

  • Reduces need for rework post-closure.

Commercial Construction

Code Compliance Audits

Use case: QA teams use Smart Glasses to walk through and visually verify fire safety, egress and DDA compliance.

  • Streamlines regulatory checks.

  • Reduces oversight by presenting required specifications live.

  • Creates time-stamped compliance documentation.

Facade and Cladding QA

Use case: Inspectors confirm alignment, fastening and materials of exterior panels via AR overlays.

  • Prevents facade misalignment and material waste.

  • Tracks QA history for each section visually.

  • Boosts safety by confirming integrity pre-installation.

Multi-Trade Coordination Checks

Use case: QA teams validate clearances between mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.

  • Prevents costly trade clashes before fit-off.

  • Increases accountability across subcontractors.

  • Improves overall site productivity and scheduling.

Industrial Construction

Structural Steel QA

Use case: Inspectors verify bolt torque, weld quality, and alignment using checklists overlaid in real time.

  • Reduces structural risks by ensuring every joint is checked.

  • Supports traceability through image logs.

  • Ensures compliance with engineering specs.

Equipment Installation Accuracy

Use case: Smart Glasses display precise placement guides for large machinery.

  • Minimises misalignment during install.

  • Saves time on layout and rework.

  • Supports lean construction practices.

Hazard Identification During QA Walks

Use case: AR overlays flag risk zones or missing safety measures during QA inspections.

  • Enhances site safety during QA tasks.

  • Ensures that WHS requirements are visible and enforced.

  • Reduces downtime from compliance violations.
