BIM FOR LAND SURVEYOR
Historically, surveyors “leave the rest to the client” when it comes to transforming point clouds into building information models. With BIM technology, however, they can deliver higher quality services by producing intelligent models that foster a richer understanding of an entire scenario. New technology has broadened the potential scope of the Surveyor into areas that were previously handled by other disciplines. Surveyors still mainly focus on the geospatial information of positioning the site and recording the levels. BIM has brought some of these issues to the fore. What worked for manual drafting or CAD is no longer adequate. Instead, BIM is based on a rich and robust data set to resolve design problems “in the office” through detailed coordination. Simply knowing that there is a tree, wall, or light pole is no longer enough. Each element will either impact or be impacted upon by the design.
BIM WORKFLOW
Currently Architects transfer survey data into a BIM model to generate the topography. If the Surveyor process & format their data into Survey Information Modeling (SIM) environment directly, then the risk of the Architect “interpreting” the Surveyors data incorrectly would be reduced. For Surveyors to create a SIM file, they not only need to be across their traditional core areas of expertise, they also need to develop more detailed working knowledge of BIM, the various authoring tools, building construction and services planning. The survey brief generated by the Design Architect or Town Planner for the surveyor should contain a detailed description of all the BIM-related data requirements as well as a clear definition of the survey extent - what is to be surveyed and to what level of detail.
STAY RELEVANCE WITH BIM
Moving forward, surveyors must come to realise that there is a role for them in every stage of the design and construction process. With BIM technology, they need to communicate with multiple disciplines, in real time, through a single project-management environment. Moreover, many BIM tools feature controls that can render extremely complex models in the field. So instead of staking out or listing data points, surveyors should work directly off live models. for instance, and as they place foundations or put stakes in the ground, other parties can receive immediate feedback no matter where they are located.
BIM BENEFITS YOU
The duty of a surveyor mainly includes dealing with various values, costs, measurements, schedules, dimensions and demarcations available from authentic and accurate data sources. BIM helps the surveyors achieve and evaluate all this data in the geometric forms. They are able to collect crucial information from their survey data with the help of 3D visualization model of BIM. Thus they can exam properly and give correct recommendations to the architects and contractors.
