WHAT IS BIM?

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility.

A BIM is a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle; defined as existing from earliest conception to demolition.

What is BIM to you?

• Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a digital representation of physical andfunctional characteristics of a facility/building/structure. It also includes generatingand managing building data during it’s life cycle.

• A BIM is a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming areliable basis for decisions during its life‐cycle; defined as existing from earliestconception to demolition.

Distinction between:

• New construction BIM – desktop based foundation model

• Existing building BIM – survey based foundation model

For Surveyors ‐ relationship with BIM starts early. Often the construction of afoundation model, a baseline of information.

Measurement and representation – the focus of today.

Why is BIM Important?

Widespread benefits for:

• Building Design

• Pre Construction Analysis

• Construction Planning & Implementation

• Ongoing Facility Management

• Ongoing Facility Management

• Creates Discipline throughout.

• For spatial people the importance of early andopen information sharing, spatial coordination andgathering the right information kicks off thebenefits of well coordinated construction

As Built BIM – Measurement Methods

Surveying and Spatial – the Measurement Sciences.

From steel chain to laser scanning – the main change is how we consume data.

Total Station – point measurement

Bearing and Distance in 3D.  Set out and As‐built.

High accuracy, low data volume.

Coordinates, Datum, Title

Simple, concise, requires foresight and understood need.

Output:

• As‐built plans

• Drawings

Laser scanning (TLS, MLS)

• Laser measurement started in 60s.  

• Now a powerful tool – previously unobtainable measurement goals.

• Still requires total station, surveyor and significant survey skills.

• Value proposition should be clear but still not understood.

• One effort to capture data – more users/uses of spatial information.

• Powerful visualisation tools.

• Further data mining – creates value.

• Scale from precinct to plant room.

Taking a look at a BIM Model

GIS, 3D and BIM

• 3D is clearly growing in importance within the Esri technology stack

• Our clients are interested too

• We have worked on numerous projects where there is a 2D/3D/BIM crossover

• AAM work across the full spectrum of ;

GIS AND BIM - WHAT S THE DIFFERENCE?

• Ranges from global scale data down to building level

• Typically not to the level of detail of BIM

• Provides context that is generally not in BIM

• Normally in a known location!

• Typically Building or Campus Level data

• Highly detailed data which is normally very precise

• Exist in isolation• Frequently in paper space or

an unknown location• Can be built off a shared

library of content

GIS BIM

Getting BIM into GIS

• Standards based formats are well supported

• Conversion tools are available in both Esri Data Interoperability &FME

• Process is relatively simple, although getting the best results is complex!

3D GIS and BIM - for Everywhere & Everyone

Using 3D and BIM in the web browser brings benefits beyond easy access

It opens up the whole world of ‘Web 2.0’ and many of the features that we now take for granted in our everyday lives

• Sharing, Collaboration

• Social Media Integration

• User Generated Content

• Integration with Smart City Systems (Internet of Things)
