Stand inside the plant room before it exists.

Virtual reality changes how an owner and a site team read a crowded services layout. Murphy Prime brought VR into the office in 2017. Headsets put staff and clients inside detailed models of plant rooms and tight corridors at full scale, so access, clearances, and maintenance routes are understood before anyone is standing on a ladder.

For coordination meetings, the office uses Oculus headsets. People can move through the model and talk about sequence while they are looking at the same space. For the site itself, HoloLens is preferred: the virtual model sits on top of the real room, so the installed MEP can be compared with the design without a separate laser-scan campaign.

The result is fewer late arguments about whether a valve can be reached, and a client who has already walked the room they are paying for.

Since 2017

VR is a project tool, not a showroom demo.
