EV / battery
Keep fast-moving installs aligned with design.
On EV and battery plant projects, many trades work at once across large production buildings. Argyle keeps every multi-trade install aligned with design, so each install is verified against the model before the next trade builds on top of it.
Argyle is an augmented reality platform for construction that overlays coordinated BIM models on the jobsite so teams can verify installs, log spatial observations, and share field data in real time.
The problem
You don't find construction mistakes when they're cheap to fix.
By the time a misaligned install is discovered, it's buried behind drywall, encased in concrete, or already commissioned. On a fast schedule with many trades in the same building, every fix means more work has to move.
- Inspections happen after close-in, when correction is most expensive
- Field deviations from the model go undocumented until handover
- Operations inherits a model that does not match what was built
Argyle moves verification to the moment of install, so issues get resolved while they are still small.
Built for large production buildings
Walk the model over the jobsite and check each install against design in real time. Mark items verified as you go, so coverage builds with the work.
Use cases
Where Argyle fits on an EV or battery project
Run multi-trade coordination in the field. See every discipline in one AR view. Catch conflicts during install.
Verify installs before they're built
Bring coordinated models into the field and confirm positioning in real space. Teams can identify misalignment early, reduce rework, and ensure installations match design intent before committing work.
Field foremen, VDC, QA teams
Coordinate across trades in dense MEP zones
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing overlaid in context, in the ceiling and on the wall. Catch conflicts before they become rework.
GCs, VDC, trade foremen
Build with confidence before materials hit site
Validate prefabricated assemblies against real-world conditions before installation. Improve coordination across trades and reduce field adjustments when assemblies arrive on site.
Prefab teams, VDC, project managers
See what's happening on site, instantly
Capture photos and video with precise spatial context. Office teams get real visibility into field conditions without relying on descriptions or delayed updates.
PMs, executives, owners
Help teams understand complex installs faster
Use AR to visualize systems in context, improving onboarding and reducing reliance on tribal knowledge. Teams can see exactly what needs to be built before they build it.
Foremen, training leads
Deliver a spatial record of what was built
Capture field conditions tied to real-world coordinates, creating a foundation for handover, documentation, and long-term operations.
Owners, asset managers

How it works
Three steps to a verified install.
Argyle fits into the process your VDC and field teams already run.
Upload your model
Export from Revit or Navisworks, or sync from ACC. Your model arrives with hierarchy, phases, and properties intact.
Align to the jobsite
Open Argyle on iPad or iPhone and anchor the model to the physical space. The model overlays the real structure at full scale.
Walk and verify
Inspect installs against design in AR and log observations in place. Data flows back to the office in real time, with no re-entry.
Platform
One system for the jobsite and the office.
Argyle is a full platform. Field teams capture on iPad and iPhone. The office works in the Argyle web portal. Both sides see the same projects, models, and observations.
In the field
Capture on iPad and iPhone
Align the coordinated model to the physical space and walk it at full scale. Pin notes, photos, and AR media to the exact spot, scan QR codes to open the right project and model, and live stream your view to the office.
In the office
Manage it all in the Argyle web portal
Manage projects, models, observations, AR media, QR codes, and users in one place. Join the live stream, review observations by status, and use CSV export for your own reports.

What VDC teams are saying
“We're using it to expedite layout. I was able to layout several missing embeds with Argyle while on site. Then we sent the field team layout points and they were able to confirm my Argyle layout was in the correct location per the fabricator. Total Station layout points. Big Win.”
Michael Wickersham, VDC
Miller Electric Company
“Once we started getting the PMs and the executives to see the videos and see how quickly we could find things, they were like 'we need to get this everywhere'. This is the first AR technology I've ever been shown that I immediately understood and can immediately see the value in.”

FAQ
Questions about Argyle for EV and battery projects
How does Argyle help on EV and battery plant projects?
Argyle overlays the coordinated BIM model on the jobsite in AR, so field teams can verify installs against design as work goes in. Every discipline appears in one AR view, so conflicts between trades are caught during install.
Which devices does Argyle run on?
Field teams use the Argyle apps on iPad and iPhone. The office works in the Argyle web portal.
Which model sources does Argyle support?
Argyle brings in models from Revit, Navisworks, and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), with hierarchy, phases, and properties intact.
How does field data reach the office?
Observations, photos, and AR media sync to the Argyle web portal in real time, where the office can review them by status and export them to CSV. Field teams can also live stream their view to the office.
Is Argyle secure?
Yes. Argyle is SOC 2 compliant.
