According to a survey by Global Data, the size of the Indian construction market was $609.6 billion in 2021 and is projected to increase by more than 6% between 2023 and 2026. However, project delays have a particularly negative impact on the residential sector. The construction industry should minimize activity-related delays to meet these objectives. A project will be deemed successful if it is finished within the allotted time. Researcher indicates that, more than 55% of projects ran over budget and delayed because there was poor coordination and communication across various departments and divisions. Because of the poor coordination and communication project got delayed. Coordination is crucial for reducing delays, and managing activities also guarantees that time is managed. The customer, contractor, and consultant must establish good communication and coordination to maximize project productivity. All employees must be familiar with the project and understand what they are responsible to do and also understands the coordination they are supposed to make. There are some methods like impact-as-planned, collapsed-as-built, time impact analysis, where coordination is not important but these are the methods important for understanding and calculating the delay. While the previous researchers have understood the major problem in the delay on construction site, is the coordination. As the researchers’ research that more than 55% projects get delayed. Coordination is really important for the speedy construction among the different departments in the company. Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) can be helpful for coordination and these are not used techniques in the previous construction work. AR enables the visualization and on-site modification of architectural designs. Compared to traditional drawings, the VR model offers a better overview and details of the design. AR and VR will aid designers in visualizing and developing their creativity. Author first selected a case study of a residential project and then created a model using AR and VR for further evaluation. The author will be employing BIM-based models for deploying AR and VR technology. G + 20 residential buildings are taken into account in this. The author develops an AR and VR framework to improve collaboration, reduce delays, and simulate the construction process. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd 2023.
