The previous decades have\nwitnessed the construction industry moving fast towards digitalization.\nBuilding Information Modelling aka BIM has gained acceptance and is slowly\nbecoming an essential tool in all stages of construction projects. We are aware\nof the several benefits that BIM Modelling Services<\/a>\nhas to offer at various stages of the project.In a nutshell, it enables effective\ncollaboration and coordination between different stakeholders, optimizes\nworkflows, makes the same information available to all parties at the same\ntime, which leads to a more informed decision-making process.<\/p>

This article\ntalks about how integrating GIS with BIM projects is beneficial for the\nconstruction industry.<\/p>

Using GIS in a BIM project<\/strong><\/p>

The main\nobjective of using BIM is to design and create buildings and infrastructure for\na better tomorrow. When GIS is integrated with a BIM project, it creates a more\nholistic view of infrastructure by adding location intelligence to the\nconstruction model.<\/p>

Facilitating Information exchange<\/strong><\/p>

GIS provides\na real-world context of the existing environment of the infrastructure.\nArchitects (who provide BIM Architectural Services<\/a>) and engineers can\nuse this real data to explore and evaluate the feasibility of design and\nconstruction. These accurate and information-rich models are then used to\nimprove performance of buildings within a larger area. Thus, BIM and GIS help\nimprove each other’s accuracy.<\/p>

Understanding Real-World<\/strong><\/p>

Integration\nof GIS and BIM in a project enables the creation of a robust and precise\ncontext model wherein asset design data and its geographic location are added\ntogether to create a better understanding of how the infrastructure is placed\nwith respect to real-world geography.<\/p>

Improving Buildings<\/strong><\/p>

The past\ncentury has seen a steady growth of cities worldwide and the trend is here to\nstay. There is a need to create more resilient and sustainable buildings that\ncan improve the quality index of the city. It is essential to facilitate a\nseamless information sharing process between GIS and BIM in order to improvise\nurban planning and management and minimize negative environmental, social and\neconomic impacts of infrastructure investments.<\/p>

Why fusing GIS and BIM?<\/strong><\/p>

It is\nestimated that by the year 2050, there will be a huge increase in the urban\npopulation. As per estimates it will swell by a whopping 75% to 6.3 billion\nfrom 3.6 billion in 2010. With this, the global construction output is expected\nto double by 2025; with most of the constructions happening in the urban area.1<\/sup><\/p>

It is\nimperative to keep pace, anticipate and prepare for these trends as this is\nvital to achieve success moving ahead. This calls for new approaches to all the\nthings that we do; be it planning, designing, building or managing assets.<\/p>
