Step Inside the Build: Immersive 3D Journey of Timber Frame Construction

Accessibility and InclusionDigital Learning

Description

This resource provides an immersive look at the process of timber frame house construction in Ireland, captured through 3D scans, 360° photography, and video. Learners can virtually step inside a live build and explore each stage, from foundations and frame erection through to services and finishes.

Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

By bringing the construction site directly into the classroom, this resource makes visible the methods, materials, and sequences that are often hidden once a project is complete. Teaching practitioners can use it to illustrate building processes, sustainability considerations, and real-world practice, while students can revisit the site at their own pace to reinforce understanding.
Designed as an open learning tool, the timber frame resource supports active, visual, and flexible learning for anyone interested in modern methods of construction, engineering, or simply curious about how buildings are put together.
