GeoBIM research focusses on full lifecycle modelling – including: reality capture and sensor enabling for new and existing buildings and infrastructure; the use of geospatial data for planning and construction site safety and management; data management standards and protocols for handover from construction to operational building phases; the use of geoBIM for facilities and asset management. The role of geospatial (location-enabled data from BIM, GIS or other sources) as an underpinning integrator is seen as key in order to enable interoperability of sensor data, demographics, traffic information, pedestrian movement data and so forth, all required to facilitate smart city operation and decision making.
The Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction （BSSC） is an international centre of excellence in the teaching and research of project management, real estate and economics.
In BSSC, we have a group of researchers interested in digitalisation in the construction industry, specifically focusing on automatic code compliance checking and knowledge representation.
