Abstract
1. The integration of these two vast topics result in a very promising but at the same time challenging task
as transforming information towards generation of knowledge and intelligence is hard
2. Both the techniques were developed for different purposes which results in limitations in integration
.3. This integration would solve problems in civil, building and infrastructure
4. Parameters influencing the choice can be named as “EEEF” criteria: effectiveness , extensibility, effort,
and flexibility
INTRODUCTION
.
1. Building Information Modeling (BIM) can be explained as a 3D model that is based on process which is quite
intelligent and it provides architecture, engineering and also construction (AEC) specialist some understanding,
perception and tools to manage infrastructure, plan, design, build and construct. BIMS supports comprehensive
construction information for geometric as well as semantic view but does not support surrounding information.
2. Geographic Information .
System (GIS) is defined as framework that gathers, manages, and analyzes data that
provides ability to capture along with analyzing data and that data might be spatial and geographic. GIS supports
spatial analysis positioned for both functional as well as physical spatial relationship at a larger scale but does not
support comprehensive digital repository of building block.
A method to handle objects and data is to indulge LEVEL of DETAIL. It is from LOD0 to LOD4, every level increases accuracy.
LOD is used to check design and architecture progress without ISO normalization unlike cityGML.

1. LOD0 is Region and Landscape

2. LOD1 is city and region

.
3. LOD2 is city, city district and project

4. LOD3 is city district, exterior architectural model and landmark

5. LOD4 is landmark and interior architectural model

Geographic Information System

  Core topic is location, situations, trends,
model and pattern

 Decision backing system

 Includes all specifications of information

structure

GIS  Prioritized over others as it is

georeferenced and spacial data

 Helps in spatial and temporal analysis

 Its 3D model is more in practice

BIM
1. Provides data including digital depiction of physical and functional parts sharing facilities related to management
to users in lifecycle
2. Easy to use as 3D CAD and by involving functions every stage will be constructed effectively
Limitations
.

In real world building is dependent microscale item connected in macroscale built environment
Locating objects and spatial inquiry in large scale is hard
Information partition and expression range and multi-interpolation on data not supported(solved by semantic web

Integrating building models

with geospatial context
The preparation of this BIM and GIS fusion went through many difficulties. GIS users tried to incorporate BIM into
GIS and vice versa and after many hard times the fusion became further COMPROMISED and now it can be
classified into 3 stages;

o Process-level
.

o Application-level

o Data-level
For successful integration it should be done at different levels as shown below:

o GIS and BIM Integration at Data Level

Presentation of new guidelines and modification of old ones

o GIS and BIM Integration at Process Level

.

It holds semantic web technologies and service-based methods

o GIS and BIM Integration at Application Level

o Comparison of Integration Solutions

 LBS stands for the Location Based Services, it
provides services that are based on geographical
location resolved by the mobile devices. By
LOCATION-BASED SERVICES (LBS) AND NAVIGATION
utilizing the semantic web technique BIM is
combined with user constraints.
 In the area of renovation and maintenance
systematic procedures are required by the asset
management. To assist the rational making of
decision in order to select the optimized course, a
system providing the GIS and BIM systems with
ASSET MANAGEMENT the three modules estimating the cost of
construction, cost of land acquisition as well as
the cost of operation
 Recent advances in the technology has provided
the ease to capture and manage data of
architectural heritage that includes spatial,
geometric, as well as multitemporal information.
HERITAGE MANAGEMENT: BIM has the strong capability to support the 3D
model resulting from the designed data.
 By utilizing the data found in 3D model project
planners are facilitated by the BIM in order to
immerse the practical views of construction sites
SITE SELECTION AND PLAN LAYOUT: as well as to assess the potential threats.
 In the enhancement of smart cities ICT has
become an important motivating force.
Communication and digital infrastructure of
URBAN ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS: smart city is provided by the ICT.
 GIS and BIM are more capable for the attention
of construction security. Environmental threats
SAFETY:
are evaluated with the help of GIS.

Conclusions and direction for

future research
1. GIS and BIM are two disparate topics and there are many differences among them but these gaps are now becoming less. There
integration has much potential. There integration is definitely a matter of great advantage as GIS’s 3D would be enriched then.

2. Semantic level conversion is way harder than geometric transferring. This integration has acquired much effort since last year.
Information loss is a significant point and this happens probably due to variant development purpose.

3. BIM is young and it’s IFC hasn’t satisfied requirement standard yet: competitiveness, conformity, connectivity. In an IFC model,
additional semantics are esteemed to show how a couple of perspectives are to be shown in CityGML.

4. Receptiveness and coordinated

. effort are the secret of the success of GIS and BIM fusion. This doesn’t just apply to advanced
norm or philosophy improvement, yet additionally shows the mentalities of individuals from various areas.

To overcome these challenges, it was observed that openness and association can be gained by being

o Government initiatives

o Frequent communication

o Demand driven
