The Cornbrook project consists of two residential blocks (15 and 14 storeys) incorporating 280 apartments for private rent on Trentham Street. It is being delivered on behalf of Glenbrook Developments.
GRAHAM presented the design team's 3D models to client representatives and subcontractors using the technology.
Commenting on the informative VR session, Victoria Allen, GRAHAM Digital Construction Coordinator, said: "VR not only provides greater transparency of the build, but, importantly, it allows for beneficial feedback, which can then save vital time and resources, and potentially avoid costly extras for things that, without VR, may be changed at a later stage in the project.

"Collaboration is a key benefit of VR as stakeholders are empowered to make smarter decisions through increased visualisation, and the opportunity to consult and engage with key project decision makers.
"It also promotes spatial awareness. This means potential risks can also be realised simultaneously, and, subsequently, mitigation measures can then be agreed."
Upon completion in summer 2020, Cornbrook residents will enjoy access to lounges, gardens, a gym and yoga studio, while there will also be commercial space on the ground floor of one of the blocks.
