BIM FAQs

BIM surveys provide a valuable data foundation for facility management and operations by capturing detailed, as-built information about the building’s assets and systems. This data can be used to:

  • Create accurate, up-to-date space and asset inventories.
  • Support more efficient maintenance planning and work order management.
  • Enable data-driven decision-making for space planning and utilisation.
  • Facilitate energy analysis and optimisation efforts.
  • Streamline retrofit and renovation projects by providing a reliable basis for design and planning.

BIM surveys offer numerous benefits for construction projects, including:

  • Improved design accuracy and coordination, reducing errors and rework on site.
  • More efficient collaboration among project stakeholders, thanks to a shared, data-rich model.
  • Enhanced visualisation and analysis capabilities, supporting better decision-making and optimisation.
  • Streamlined fabrication and installation processes, thanks to accurate, detailed model data.
  • Reduced risk and improved safety, through better planning and coordination of construction activities.

BIM surveys typically employ a combination of advanced data capture technologies, including:

  • Laser scanning: High-speed, high-accuracy scanners that capture detailed 3D point clouds of building geometry and features.
  • Photogrammetry: Techniques that use overlapping photographs to create detailed 3D models and textured surfaces.
  • GPS: Global Positioning System technology that enables accurate geo-referencing of survey data.
  • Mobile and tablet-based data collection tools: Devices that allow for efficient, on-site capture of asset data and field observations.

Traditional surveying methods typically focus on capturing basic geometric data of a building, such as dimensions and elevations. In contrast, a BIM survey goes beyond simple geometry to capture a wide range of information about the building’s features, materials, and systems. This data is then integrated into a dynamic, intelligent 3D model that can be used for various purposes, such as design coordination, energy analysis, and asset management.

A BIM (Building Information Modeling) survey is a process of capturing accurate, detailed spatial and asset data of a building or structure using advanced technologies like laser scanning, photogrammetry, and GPS. This data is then processed and integrated into BIM software to create intelligent, information-rich 3D models that support various aspects of the building lifecycle, from design and construction to operation and maintenance.
