BIM FOR SURVEYORS

Date: Saturday 18 May 2024
Time: 9.00-17.00
Venue: Damba 1, Second floor, La Palm Conference

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is changing the way how surveyors work, think, collaborate and earn money. Using and sharing multidimensional digital representations of buildings are the driving forces for the digitalization of our work. This affects many tasks surveyors and GIS professionals perform, e. g. cost estimation, GIS analysis, engineering surveying, construction work, land management and facilities management.

 

METHODOLOGY
  • Teaching theoretical background of the BIM method (concepts, workflows and standards)
  • Best practice presentations from large projects and SME (from surveyor’s point of view)
  • Presentation of the latest software (surveying, integration and collaboration with BIM, CAD, GIS)

TARGET AUDIENCE
  • International professionals from AEC-companies (engineering surveyors) and land administration agencies (land surveyors).
  • Young professionals interested in this new technology for own projects
  • Academics from different countries (just a few universities teach BIM until now)
  • Selected students and young professionals from the FIG Young Surveyors Network.

PROCEEDINGS

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Robert Kaden and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christan Clemen (Germany):
