BIM
What we Offer?
Intelligent BIM models
Development of digital twins for buildings and infrastructures.
- Interior space capture using laser scanning to obtain accurate point clouds.
- Drone flights to record exteriors and hard-to-access areas.
- BIM modelling based on point cloud integration, including geometry, materials, systems and technical documentation.
Digital twins of facilities
Digital models are produced to optimise design, control costs, plan maintenance and manage infrastructures comprehensively.
Integration with other Geomatics services
Laser scanning and drones are combined to generate complete models. BIM models can be integrated with GIS information to provide a broad and strategic territorial view.
FAQs
I manage a hospital / an airport / a complex public building. How does BIM methodology help with maintenance management (Facility Management)?
BIM is the ultimate tool for Facility Management. A “digital twin” of the building is created where each asset (HVAC unit, pump, electrical panel) is not just a 3D drawing, but an intelligent object containing technical data, maintenance plans, warranties and incident history. Faults can be located instantly, preventive maintenance planned and operational costs optimised.
What is BIM-GIS integration and why is it key for a local authority or infrastructure manager?
It is the integration of assets. BIM manages buildings and infrastructures “internally” (systems, spaces), while GIS manages them “externally” within their territorial context (connections to sanitation networks, cadastral plots, public lighting). Integration provides a single view, from a building valve (BIM) to the city-wide network (GIS).
We have old buildings without reliable plans. Is BIM applicable in these cases?
Yes, this is addressed through the “Scan-to-BIM” service. A millimetre-accurate point cloud of the building interior is captured using 3D laser scanning, and drones are used for exteriors. From this 3D “radiography”, an as-built BIM model is produced, providing reliable plans for the first time and serving as a basis for refurbishment or management plans.
