ABSTRACT
Construction is a game of uncertainties. Unforeseen circumstances pop up almost on a daily basis in a construction project. Being able to foresee them and to rectify the issues without a fatal effect defines the success of a project. Augmented reality helps in visualizing many of these unwanted errors which are hidden in the real world. This paper discusses the use of augmented reality in Planning and Execution stages of a construction project. The paper mainly focuses on the advantages of using augmented reality in the construction phases with emphasis on the methods adopted and the results obtained in various scenarios under consideration process. Further scope of the paper proposes increased use of augmented reality as a helpful tool for precise planning and higher productive efficiency in construction.

INTRODUCTION
Augmented reality is a live, direct, or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer generated inputs. Augmented reality enhances a person’s perception about real-world. Augmented reality differs from Virtual reality in the basic concepts because the latter replaces the real world with a simulated, virtual world. Construction industry creations are based on the real world and if a better view of the entire project is obtained during the various phases, the efficiency and the results also will be better. Augmented reality can be used for aiding construction professionals in the various stages viz. Planning and Execution. During planning stage of construction there is a wide variety of hurdles to be crossed in which community development holds one of the key role. The beneficiaries and the neighborhood need to have a better understanding of the project and the
