The document discusses using building information modeling (BIM) for site and masterplan development. It covers capturing existing site conditions through 3D laser scanning and surveying, designing sites in 3D for increased quality and coordination, and managing site BIM separately from building BIM. A key aspect is developing a masterplan BIM with a centralized model and files to coordinate multi-phase projects and provide comprehensive as-built records. Future trends may include greater integration with GIS and facilities management software as well as expanding BIM collaboration.
