Claim 18:
19. 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;
receiving 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.
