BIM for Surveyors Workshop at FIG in Istanbul 5 May 2018

Saturday 5 May 2018 and Field Trip "End-to-end BIM at the World’s Largest Airport" Sunday 6 May

FIG BIM Preworkshop in Istanbul

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is changing the way how surveyors work, think, collaborate and make 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. 

Scope of the Workshop:

• 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).

Audience:

• International professionals from AEC-companies and land administration agencies
• GIS and BIM experts (Project Manager, Engineers, Software developer)
• Young professionals interested in this new technology for their own projects
• Academics from different countries - just few universities teach BIM until now.
• Students and young professionals from the FIG Young Surveyors Network.

The Workshop will take place on Saturday 5 May and includes a field trip on 6 May 10:00 - 15:00
