Building Information Modeling (BIM) provides significant benefits to design, construction, and maintenance of buildings. It saves 45% on design cycle time by allowing errors to be corrected early. Construction costs are reduced by 20% since clashes are detected in the design phase rather than on site. Site meetings are reduced by 50% through better coordination across specialties in the integrated 3D model. BIM also saves 25% on material costs by enabling accurate quantity take-offs.
BIM process adoption for integrated design and constuctionReshma Philip
The document provides an overview of a BIM consultant's biography and experience, as well as a presentation on BIM and the design process. The consultant has over 20 years of experience implementing BIM and digital design systems. The presentation covers key topics like what BIM is, how it compares to traditional design processes, important terminology, software considerations, and examples of BIM implementation on government projects in KSA.
This document discusses Building Information Modeling (BIM) and its integration with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). BIM allows AEC professionals to efficiently plan, design, construct and manage buildings through an intelligent 3D model. BIM-GIS integration involves combining building data with geospatial data through 7 stages. Current applications in construction include quality, cost, safety and information management. The reconstruction of Notre Dame Cathedral after the 2019 fire utilizes laser scanning to create a detailed 3D point cloud model for planning restoration. Future prospects include monitoring workforces, optimizing waste reduction and integrating BIM models directly into GIS software.
BIM programs and practices can greatly impact productivity in the construction industry. BIM allows for improved coordination between teams, which reduces errors and rework. Studies show that BIM users report fewer errors in design and less rework during construction. They also see improved communication and reduced project timelines. When implemented properly with trained staff, BIM supports gathering and sharing information across projects to help optimize results and efficiency throughout the construction process.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process that uses 3D modeling software to virtually design and engineer a building before it is constructed. BIM allows for more efficient planning, design, construction and management of buildings. It contains both graphical and non-graphical information about the building. There are different levels of BIM implementation from 2D drawings to full collaboration across disciplines. BIM brings benefits like improved visualization, reduced costs and delays, better coordination between specialties, and automated quantity take-offs. While adoption of BIM faces challenges like software costs and transition time, its use is expected to grow as the main method for building construction and management.

BIM Dimensions Explained- 3D, 4D, 5D, 6D and 7D- Definition and BenefitsUnited-BIM
A BIM model can be utilized for pre-defined specific purposes, commonly known as use-cases. According to project stage requirements and project complexity, specific parameters are added to the existing information contained in BIM. These additions of pre-defined used cases can be described as BIM dimensions.
These dimensions enhance the data associated with a model to share a greater level of understanding of a construction project.
In the modern era, BIM technology has evolved from basic 3D & 4D dimensions to more sophisticated 5D, 6D & 7D dimensions that are poised to change the future of the AEC industry.

Extend the life of a BIM model in GIS+FM with Revit reader_finalSafe Software
Arkance Systems is the one of major CAx, BIM, GIS provider in Europe, with solutions based mainly on Autodesk technologies. Arkance Systems is a part of big international group - Groupe Monnoyeur. Our GIS division is delivering GIS solutions mostly to private enterprises, utilizing mainly own Arkance Systems technology - twiGIS. Besides usual utility-GIS (water, wastewater, heat, telco), we are focusing our GIS solutions on facility management of large public and industrial areas like airports, exhibition grounds, manufacturing plants, power plants, etc. Our main goal is to provide tools and solutions for reliable data management lifecycle and especially for effective data distribution and accessibility for the end users.
As most of the GIS data (especially in utilities and facility management) are describing buildings and infrastructure coming from the construction activities, the nature of the data inputs is changing rapidly in these days: the usual CAD documentation is being replaced with BIM models. Therefore we have adjusted our tools for smooth BIM – GIS connection with these goals:
Keep BIM model live through the whole building lifecycle (e.g. not just export the data and let the model die)
Let BIM people use their tools in the most vanilla way (BIM modeler like Revit, CDE like BIM 360)
Let the GIS users use the data from CAD, GIS, and BIM in the same way, with no difference to where the data originated
So far, we have built a BIM connector to our twiGIS doing the entire job. The connector is based on Safe Software’s FME with heavy use of the new Revit Reader. The flexibility of the workspace definition enables us to adjust the BIM-GIS mapping to any flavor of any of the sides.
Our talk will focus on the following topics:
Introduction of twiGIS and its BIM connector – why and how
Details on how the Revit reading is done in FME
Pitfalls and highlights of the BIM to GIS transformation

Software development... for all? (keynote at ICSOFT'2024)miso_uam
Our world runs on software. It governs all major aspects of our life. It is an enabler for research and innovation, and is critical for business competitivity. Traditional software engineering techniques have achieved high effectiveness, but still may fall short on delivering software at the accelerated pace and with the increasing quality that future scenarios will require.
To attack this issue, some software paradigms raise the automation of software development via higher levels of abstraction through domain-specific languages (e.g., in model-driven engineering) and empowering non-professional developers with the possibility to build their own software (e.g., in low-code development approaches). In a software-demanding world, this is an attractive possibility, and perhaps -- paraphrasing Andy Warhol -- "in the future, everyone will be a developer for 15 minutes". However, to make this possible, methods are required to tweak languages to their context of use (crucial given the diversity of backgrounds and purposes), and the assistance to developers throughout the development process (especially critical for non-professionals).
In this keynote talk at ICSOFT'2024 I presented enabling techniques for this vision, supporting the creation of families of domain-specific languages, their adaptation to the usage context; and the augmentation of low-code environments with assistants and recommender systems to guide developers (professional or not) in the development process.

gaps object vs relational
➔ Limited geo-referencing
➔ File size / instanced
geometries
➔ Schema mapping
which source feature types
match GIS ones
➔ External references
