Slide 1

GIS Meets BIM

GIS meets BIM - AGENDA

• How BIM will affect us all

• How can we add value to BIM

• Opportunities for GIS professionals

• Summary

Slide 2

GIS Meets BIM

What is BIM?

• Depends who you ask!

• Building Information Models - things

• Building Information Modelling - tasks

• Building Information Management – processes

Slide 3

GIS Meets BIM

Building Information Modelling (BIM)

• “An integrated digital process providing coordinated, reliable information about a project and assets throughout all phases, from design through construction and into operation”

• Better Information Management

• For all asset types – buildings and infrastructure

Slide 4

GIS Meets BIM

Building Information Modelling (BIM)

• Cross-discipline collaboration

• Standard methods and procedures

• Information provision is contracted

• Digital Plan of Works (DPoW)

• Enabling tools, workflows and validation

• Exchange formats and standards

• Information / data is a commodity

Slide 5

GIS Meets BIM

Information as a Commodity

• In economics, a commodity is a marketable item produced to satisfy wants or needs

Slide 6

GIS Meets BIM

Common Data Environment - Context

• Common Data Environment (CDE)

• Defined in UK Standards BS 1192:2007

• Elaborated on in PAS 1192-2 and PAS 1192-3

Slide 7

GIS Meets BIM

Common Data Environment - Data

Slide 8

• File naming convention from BS 1192-2007:

GIS Meets BIM

Geospatial Convergence

Slide 9

• Capture - Geomatics / Survey

• Plan – Planners, Town Planners

• Design - Architects / Designers

• Build - Client, Contractors, Supply chain

• Operate / Maintain - Client, Contractors, Supply chain

• GIS and mapping – validation, presentation, analytics/reporting, time sequencing, context to projects and assets

GIS Meets BIM

Everything Happens Somewhere

Slide 10

• Location provides context to data

• Location provides patterns, trends & gaps

• Maps are easier to understand

• ‘Placed-based’ planning is understood

• Proximity can connect people / Orgs

• Services Delivery depends on Location

• See opportunities to consolidate/augment services

GIS Meets BIM

The big challenge is communication

Slide 11

• Between systems

• Between data formats

• Between organisations

• Between disciplines

GIS Meets BIM

5 Major Opportunities

1. Real-world experience for users

2. GIS provides context to projects/assets

3. Spatial Analytics - Place-based planning/focus of services

4. Spatial Analytics - Asset performance, trending and patterns

5. Location is a common language for all disciplines
