Surveying and BIM Classroom

The FIG Working Week has been cancelled. This is not a decision we have taken lightly and there are two overriding concerns that have caused us to make this decision at this time.

 First, the Dutch Government announced new measurements to control the COVID-19 outbreak. In the Netherlands all gatherings are prohibited until 1 June.

Second, our primary concern is always the wellbeing of you, and we would not take on the responsibility, during these times, to bring so many surveyors from all over the world together.

Date: Saturday 9 May 2020 at  VU - Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is changing the way 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.

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 (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.

The workshop is organised by Christian Clemen, Germany, HTW Dresden
