Building information modelling (BIM) uses a combination of technologies and resources to capture, manage, analyse, and display a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a facility. A Geographic Information System (GIS) offers tools for visualising and analysing built and natural environments and their impacts on infrastructure systems, such as land use, transportation, etc. This book offers a framework for how the geospatial and surveying industry can create and integrate BIM with GIS. Through practical implementation methods, readers will learn to merge GIS data with design and BIM data to enable digital twins.

This book presents the following features:



Integrates BIM and GIS from a geospatial and surveying point of view for the first time;
Addresses the creation of BIM from existing constructed buildings instead of typical pre-construction scenarios;
Explains how to deliver BIM-suitable surveys to surveyors and geospatial practitioners;
Provides surveying and geospatial industry expertise in the collecting, locating, managing, and communicating of BIM;
Introduces new knowledge on the validation and integration of BIM and GIS within the spatial industry.

This is an excellent book for professionals working with 3D data for built-environment digital twins, such as city planners, land surveyors, and geospatial practitioners. It is also an insightful resource for those working and studying in the fields of GIS, surveying, and geospatial engineering, providing the most current tools and resources for dealing with BIM.
