A Lightweight BIM-GIS Integration Method for Rural Building Design and Construction

Year: 2020

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Building Information Model (BIM) and Geographic Information System (GIS) are both important data sources in the design and construction of buildings, and they have different emphasis on building information definition.A unified database that integrates BIM and GIS information is needed in many cases.However, most of the studies and applications of BIM-GIS integration are concentrated in urban buildings.Research on BIM-GIS integration in rural buildings is still rare.In fact, rural residences usually have different information characteristics with urban buildings.These characteristics need to be carefully considered to achieve effective information integration.A lightweight BIM-GIS integration method for rural building design and construction was proposed in this paper.The proposed method integrates BIM and GIS based on the Cesium platform, and realizes multi-scale lightweight algorithm based on the characteristics of rural houses.Based on a case study, the proposed method demonstrates its feasibility and efficiency in integrating BIM and GIS data.We believe it can assist with the design and construction of rural buildings.
