Claim 16:
17. A computer implemented method for aiding on-site building construction, the method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, an identifier for components in a shipment delivered on-site of a building project, wherein the identifier is captured using an information capture device;
accessing, by the one or more processors, one or more databases for stored identifiers and information corresponding to the stored identifiers;
comparing, by the one or more processors, the identifier captured with the stored identifiers to determine stored information for a stored identifier corresponding to the identifier captured;
identifying, by the one or more processors, the components in the shipment from the stored information;
providing, by the one or more processors, in a graphical user interface on a 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
highlighting, by the one or more processors, 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;
providing, by the one or more processors, in the graphical user interface on the display a shipment menu with shipment information for the components in the shipment;
receive a selection of the shipment information within the shipment menu on the graphical user interface of the display and in response:
access the one or more databases with one or more components for the shipment information selected, and
highlight in the interactive 3D model on the graphical user interface of the display the one or more components for the shipment information selected.
