Module: BIM-GIS Integration

Lecture: BIM-GIS integration in project’s life cycle

Lecture summary

The document discusses the integration of BIM and GIS in the construction planning phase, highlighting their complementary roles. BIM provides detailed building models, while GIS offers spatial data for site selection, environmental analysis, and infrastructure planning. Their integration enhances efficiency, sustainability, and decision-making throughout a project’s lifecycle, from pre-construction analysis to facility management. Challenges persist due to software limitations and lack of collaboration, but overcoming them enables better visualization, compliance, and resource management. Integration is showcasing how combined BIM-GIS models improve urban planning, logistics, and maintenance, ensuring long-term cost-effective infrastructure management.
