Mind the Gap: Minimizing Data Loss Between GIS and BIM
An unfortunate fact of the AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) industry is that, between every stage of the process?from planning and design to construction and operations?critical data is lost.

An unfortunate fact of the AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) industry is that, between every stage of the process?from planning and design to construction and operations?critical data is lost.The reality is, when you move data between phases of, say, the usable lifecycle of a bridge, you end up shuttling that data back and forth between software systems that recognize only their own data sets. The minute you translate that data, you reduce its richness and value. When a project stakeholder needs data from an earlier phase of the process, planners, designers, and engineers often have to manually re-create that information, resulting in unnecessary rework. The good news is that a disruption is brewing in the GIS (geographic information science) industry as it rapidly moves toward 3D modeling. This evolution mirrors the transformation that the design and construction industry is experiencing as it moves from 2D to 3D BIM (Building Information Modeling), and it signals the emergence of GIS and BIM integration into one holistic environment.The BIM/GIS Alliance BeginsWhile GIS information is necessary for planning and operating roads, bridges, airports, rail networks, and other infrastruct...
