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.
