This document discusses space planning technologies (SPT) and their integration with building information modeling (BIM). It describes SPT as software that enables briefing of facilities, integrates briefing data with BIM models, generates reports, analyzes brief vs. design, and exports data downstream. The document outlines typical SPT inputs like spaces, location, functions, and furniture, as well as common outputs like area schedules and room data sheets. It also discusses integrating SPTs like Affinity, BuildingOne, CodeBook, and dRofus with BIM tools like Revit through open standards. The document provides advice on implementation including defining roles and deliverables, designating data authors, and getting training to ensure proper integration of

2. That BIM definition… again…g
Building information modelling (BIM) is the process of generating andBuilding information modelling (BIM) is the process of generating and
managing building data during the life cycle of the built structure.
It uses three-dimensional, real-time, dynamic building modelling software to
increase productivity in building design, construction and occupation.
The process produces the building information model (also abbreviated
BIM) which encompasses building geometry spatial relationshipsBIM), which encompasses building geometry, spatial relationships,
geographic information, quantities and properties of building components
and spaces.
Many forms of analysis can then be performed on this digital prototype
before it is actually physically built in its environment at great cost.

aspirations are identified, they should
drive how the BIM is developed, it’s
content and final use - the project team
need to be aware of this!
