Background

Geospatial Media and Communications recognizes the growing relevance of integrated BIM and geospatial solutions in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. Geospatial + Engineering solutions (GEOBIM) provides a broader context to the AEC segment by integrating spatial information and context with in-built data helping the construction industry to digitally engineer and transform the construction lifecycle – across surveying and monitoring, planning, designing and engineering, and construction processes.

The AEC industry is one of the most information dependent sectors, however, the industry is now realizing the importance of utilizing integrated geospatial and BIM solutions. As the expectations of client’s and project owners increase – there exists an opportunity for the AEC industry to adopt holistic solutions – integrated hardware and software solutions across the construction lifecycle by ensuring smooth interface between BIM, GIS and other asset management systems. Geospatial Media’s AEC Vertical division, via its research and consultancy, conferences and knowledge platforms and magazine (digital and print), aims to advocate for technology adoption in the AEC industry to guide the transition of the industry from a paper-pen model to being data-driven.
