Project managers and stakeholders can quickly access accurate field information to stay on top of site logistics and accelerate issue turnaround.<\/p>\n
Mobile workers benefit by having access to an expressive mobile map of the construction site, along with the latest engineering documents and issues from Autodesk Construction Cloud. They can provide instant updates from mobile devices and reduce delays from disconnected data collection.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
ArcGIS Field Maps<\/a><\/strong> is a data-driven mobile map app built for field teams and operates connected or offline. Teams can collect and edit both spatial and form-based data, find assets and information while in the field, and share locations outside and indoors.<\/p>\n ArcGIS GeoBIM<\/a><\/strong> delivers a connected data environment that seamlessly links architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) information in Autodesk Construction Cloud with geospatial data and services in ArcGIS. This integration unifies teams and projects from design to operations with efficiency and accuracy for improved collaboration, decision-making, and optimized project outcomes.<\/p>\n With ArcGIS Field Maps and ArcGIS GeoBIM working together, a streamlined digital workflow replaces inefficient paper-based processes and extends BIM integration to the field, enhancing engineering and construction workflows with a geographic approach. By adding ArcGIS Field Maps to projects in ArcGIS GeoBIM, project and operations teams can boost productivity, accuracy, and collaboration with on-site teams.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2938331,"id":2938331,"title":"extend-arcgis-geobim-to-the-field-with-arcgis-field-maps-2025","filename":"extend-arcgis-geobim-to-the-field-with-arcgis-field-maps-2025.png","filesize":2016592,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/extend-arcgis-geobim-to-the-field-with-arcgis-field-maps-2025.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/geobim\/aec\/extend-arcgis-geobim-to-the-field-with-arcgis-field-maps\/extend-arcgis-geobim-to-the-field-with-arcgis-field-maps-2025","alt":"An image showing a 3D scene of a construction project in ArcGIS GeoBIM (right) and the ArcGIS Field Maps mobile app (left-center) for collecting issues and notes.\u2028","author":"288222","description":"","caption":"Using the ArcGIS Field Maps mobile app for iOS and Android devices, workers in the field can quickly create issues and collect location, line, or area notes for review in ArcGIS GeoBIM.","name":"extend-arcgis-geobim-to-the-field-with-arcgis-field-maps-2025","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2171872,"date":"2025-09-03 14:54:12","modified":"2025-09-03 14:54:42","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1960,"height":1120,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/extend-arcgis-geobim-to-the-field-with-arcgis-field-maps-2025-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/extend-arcgis-geobim-to-the-field-with-arcgis-field-maps-2025.png","medium-width":457,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/extend-arcgis-geobim-to-the-field-with-arcgis-field-maps-2025.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":439,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/extend-arcgis-geobim-to-the-field-with-arcgis-field-maps-2025.png","large-width":1890,"large-height":1080,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/extend-arcgis-geobim-to-the-field-with-arcgis-field-maps-2025-1536x878.png","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":878,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/extend-arcgis-geobim-to-the-field-with-arcgis-field-maps-2025.png","2048x2048-width":1960,"2048x2048-height":1120,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/extend-arcgis-geobim-to-the-field-with-arcgis-field-maps-2025-814x465.png","card_image-width":814,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/11\/extend-arcgis-geobim-to-the-field-with-arcgis-field-maps-2025-1890x1080.png","wide_image-width":1890,"wide_image-height":1080}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" <\/p>\n To see how this integration can improve project delivery, let\u2019s follow a scenario of two professionals at an AEC firm to see how they resolve a challenge during the construction phase by using ArcGIS Field Maps and ArcGIS GeoBIM together.<\/p>\n Taylor is a project manager leading a major urban riverfront revitalization project. Construction had been on track until recently, when the city experienced one of the largest storms of the last 15 years. Fortunately, there was no major damage, but due to flash floods, parts of the construction site and surrounding roads are affected. The client is concerned that the project schedule and budget may be impacted.<\/p>\n To respond to the client\u2019s concerns in a timely manner, Taylor contacts Sam, a mobile worker who has been reporting to Taylor on the project\u2019s progress.

Sam delineates the extent of the water in ArcGIS Field Maps and attaches a photograph. They describe the work that must be performed to minimize construction and environmental impacts.<\/p>\n Sam also observes that one of the streets next to the site was closed by the city to manage the flash floods.
