Georeferenced augmented reality is changing how we walk a job site. By anchoring digital models directly to real-world coordinates, it allows teams to see proposed structures, utilities, and site features exactly where they’ll exist—at true scale and with centimeter-level precision. This isn’t the kind of AR that floats vaguely above the ground or needs a QR code to get its bearings. Using RTK-corrected GNSS, these tours bring an entirely new level of trust to what you’re seeing.

With real-time kinematic (RTK) correction, we’re no longer relying on the several-meter error margin of standard GPS. Instead, we’re working with accuracy that can reach down to a couple of centimeters. That means you can stand on site, point your device, and see exactly where a future foundation wall intersects a property line—or how far an HVAC pad protrudes into a critical clearance zone. It removes guesswork in the field and makes spatial decisions faster and more defensible.

And because this works on tablets and handheld displays, not headsets, it opens up collaboration instead of closing it down. You’re not passing around a single device or hoping a headset stays calibrated while you’re walking across uneven terrain. You’re looking together—engineer, client, GC, tradesperson—at the same model from the same vantage point, talking through what’s there and what’s next. No waiting, no “trust me, it’s in here,” just alignment in every sense of the word.

Compared to head-mounted AR, this approach is more inclusive, more immediate, and ultimately more useful. It allows real-time updates, supports version control, and doesn’t isolate the user from the group. Whether it’s verifying clearances, flagging conflicts, or simply helping a client see what’s coming, georeferenced AR tours are a tool that turns the field into a shared workspace—and the future into something you can walk through today.
