Interview with Jayan Jevanesan, CTO and Co-Founder at GAMMA AR. Jayan is a computer scientist by profession and leads product development at GAMMA AR, where he shapes the platform’s vision, strategy, and technology. Passionate about building tools that make construction more efficient, accurate, and collaborative, he combines his technical expertise with a forward-looking mindset to keep GAMMA AR at the forefront of digital construction.

In an industry where precision, timing, and coordination are critical, introducing new tools or processes can feel risky. Construction professionals often face challenges such as miscommunication between office and field teams, costly rework, and project delays. The best way to evaluate innovative solutions, without disrupting full operations, is through a pilot project.

This guide explains what a pilot project is, why it matters in construction, and how to run one effectively to maximize impact and reduce risk.

At Vilnius Tech (Lithuania), educators are reimagining construction education to better engage a new generation of learners. Facing a shrinking labor pool and a widening gap between classroom theory and on-site reality, the university has turned to emerging technologies—including Augmented Reality (AR) and openBIM—to modernize its teaching approach.

Through tools like GAMMA AR and real-world training environments on campus, students are learning how to interact with digital models, coordinate virtually on jobsite tasks, and develop the hands-on problem-solving skills the industry now demands.

This shift toward immersive, tech-driven learning equips students with future-ready skills while also helping reposition construction as a high-tech, attractive field for tomorrow’s workforce.

Let’s say you’re on-site, boots in the mud, staring at plans that don’t exactly line up. A beam is off, several pipes are misrouted, and a $10,000 headache is looming.
Now imagine you’re holding up a tablet or smartphone and seeing exactly where everything belongs, with the digital model of the building overlaid onto the site in front of you.
That’s Augmented Reality (AR) in action. It’s not a gimmick or a fancy gadget. It’s a tool for building smarter, faster, and more accurately.
By overlaying digital plans onto the real-world jobsite, AR takes guesswork off the table.
It reveals problems before they spiral into chaos, aligns teams without endless back-and-forth, and turns “What went wrong?” into “What’s next?”
AR goes way beyond just seeing better—it’s all about building better.
