BIM FOR SURVEYORS

21 April 2019 at Intercontinental Landmark 72

Room Hanoi 4, 5th floor

Digital change and BIM are likely to significantly affect the future of the surveying profession. Do we need a more symbiotic relationship between technologists and surveyors? What should, or can, surveyors do to affect technology? What aspects of professionlism in surveying remain relevant in the changing technological landscape? Clearly, the answers lie in where professional surveying judgement can continue to add value, how our work processes can be consistently applied and how data-driven decision-making can be improved.

Scope of the Workshop:

• What is the state of play of digital change and exemplars of best practice?
• What do technologists need from surveyors and vice versa? 
• What does this technology suggest for the future of the surveying profession?

Audience:

International professionals from AEC-companies and land administration agencies 
GIS and BIM experts (Project Manager, Engineers, Software developer)
Young professionals interested in this new technology for their own projects
Academics from different countries - just few universities teach BIM until now.
Students and young professionals from the FIG Young Surveyors Network.
