Abstract
Virtual Reality (VR) can facilitate visualisation and interpretation of the site layout problems enabling the planners to identify any possible health and safety concerns before construction begins. The objective of this paper is to report on the development of a virtual reality prototype for site layout planning. The aim of the system is to assist planners in creating a safe and efficient site. The project was carried out using Superscape virtual reality software. The suite of editors provided with the software was used to create he construction site objectives and layout. The final site layout is based on a construction project in Bootle, Liverpool.
