The contribution of Geospatial+BIM to the building,engineering and Construction industry is immense, but how are Geospatial Professionals involved?
The global geospatial industry innovation has seen the significant growth in the past 10 years seeing major geospatial technologies finding their way into AEC industry. Geospatial professional now plays more role in the AEC industry than ever before riding on the rapidly rising technologies.
Geospatial engineering technologies e.g. GIS and Spatial Analytics, GNSS and Positioning, Earth Observation, and Scanning have been extensively used in the AEC industry…
Geospatial firms have expanded their BIM and frontier technologies reaching more applications within the AEC sectors.These range of opportunities has enabled geospatial engineers to participate deeper into the industry beyond the traditional realms for the traditional Surveyor. Geospatial service providers for example can now leverage the market information and develop market expansion strategies accordingly to grow their business.
GIS and BIM integration for sustainable AEC sector practise:
Integrating geographic information system (GIS) and building information modelling (BIM) solutions helps facilitate a data-driven approach to project life cycle management, which is crucial for sustainable project outcomes.
Integrating BIM and GIS can result in workflows that move data seamlessly from one system to another.
