BIM and Reverse BIM

BIM (Building Information Modelling) seems to be the buzz word at the moment!

But where as a Land Survey/Geomatics company do we fit in.

Leica Geosystems have produced a presentation summarising various survey technologies that can be implemented and utilised by the professionals involved in and contributing to the BIM process.  Please see the link below:

As a professional surveying company we are in the perfect position to provide advice, guidance and services in all of these areas from initial survey work through to setting-out, monitoring and as-built surveys.   We have the experience and the tools needed to provide accurate geospatial information.

The term Reverse BIM comes to mind when a building is being redeveloped or amended.  Architects and Engineers need accurate as built plans and data before this work can commence.  Once again we have the tools, skills and experience needed to provide these services.
