FAQ

Argyle questions, answered.

AR install verification for industrial construction. Straight answers about devices, models, offline use, security, and pilots.

What is Argyle?

Argyle is an augmented reality platform for construction: a web portal plus iPad and iPhone field apps for real-time jobsite verification. Argyle overlays your coordinated BIM model on the jobsite in AR so VDC, QA/QC, and field teams verify installs and log observations as work goes in. The office sees it in real time.

What problem does Argyle solve?

On industrial megaprojects, a misaligned pipe, duct, or embed is often found after close-in, when it costs the most to fix. Argyle moves verification to the moment of install, so issues get resolved while they are still small.

Which devices does Argyle run on?

Argyle field apps run on iPad and iPhone. The office works in the Argyle web portal. Both sides see the same projects, models, and observations.

How does a BIM model get onto the jobsite?

Three steps. Upload your model: export from Revit or Navisworks, or sync from ACC, and the 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 at full scale. Walk and verify: inspect installs against design in AR and log observations in place.

Which design and project tools does Argyle work with?

Argyle brings models in from Revit, Navisworks, and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC). IFC models come in through Revit or Navisworks, or straight from Autodesk Docs with the Argyle ACC exporter.

Does Argyle work without an internet connection?

Yes. Runs offline with no Wi-Fi needed. Teams keep working where connectivity is limited. Data syncs when they reconnect. Live streaming to the office needs a connection.

Is Argyle secure?

Argyle is SOC 2 compliant.

Who uses Argyle?

VDC, QA/QC, and field teams on complex industrial projects, working for owners and builders. PMs, VDC leads, and the office follow verification status and observations from the web portal.

Which types of projects is Argyle built for?

Projects where spatial accuracy matters most: semiconductor fabs, data centers, EV and battery plants, energy and oil and gas, and advanced factories.

Can Argyle help with clash detection?

Yes. Argyle shows every discipline in one AR view so teams catch conflicts during install, while changes are still simple.

What are spatial observations?

Geo-anchored notes, photos, and markup dropped directly in AR space, pinned to the exact location they describe. Each observation reaches the web portal with a status, such as New or In Progress, and the AR media attached.

How does the office see what is happening in the field?

Verification status and observations reach the Argyle web portal in real time. The field can also live stream what the device sees, so the office can join and look at the same install.

What are Argyle QR codes for?

Scan a QR code on site to open the right project and model in the field. QR codes are managed in the web portal.

Can I export Argyle data?

Yes. The web portal includes CSV export for your own reports.

What does an Argyle pilot look like?

Every pilot is scoped to your organization's specific needs. Pilots typically run 60 days, and some run 30 or 90 days. Your team runs Argyle on one of your live projects, on the iPhones and iPads it already uses, and afterward we review what your team verified and agree on where the program goes next.

How is Argyle priced?

Argyle scopes every engagement. It starts with a discovery conversation, followed by a tailored scope of work, an optional pilot, and then the full platform under an annual contract.

Where is Argyle based?

Argyle Build, Inc. is based at 1001 SE Water Ave #135, Portland, OR 97214.
