Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 17:
18. A system for aiding on-site building construction, the system comprising:
one or more memories having computer readable code stored thereon;
a display; and
one or more processors operatively coupled to the one or more memories and the display, wherein when executed the computer readable code is configured to cause the one or more processors to:
receive an identifier for components in a shipment delivered on-site of a building project, wherein the identifier is captured using an information capture device;
access one or more databases for stored identifiers and information corresponding to the stored identifiers;
compare the identifier captured with the stored identifiers to determine stored information for a stored identifier corresponding to the identifier captured;
identify the components in the shipment from the stored information;
provide in a graphical user interface on the display a model for the building project, wherein the model is an interactive 3D model, wherein the model comprises a plurality of components for constructing the building project, and wherein the plurality of components comprise structural features of a building; and
highlight in the interactive 3D model, in response to identifying the components from the stored information, the components in the shipment received on-site of the building project;

wherein when executed the computer readable code is further configured to cause the one or more processors to:
receive a selection of one or more components within the interactive 3D model in the graphical user interface of the display and in response:
access the one or more databases with shipment information for the one or more components selected, and
provide in the graphical user interface on the display a shipment menu with the shipment information for the one or more components selected within the interactive 3D model.
