BIM tools and processes have affected designing, specifying, estimating, code-checking, coordinating, and many more AEC tasks.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"undefined block-editor-paragraph\">and,<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>GIS has proven to be a critical process, a strong foundation, and a fundamental framework for delivering AEC projects of all scales, sizes, and complexity \u2013 resulting in better planned, designed, constructed, and operated buildings and infrastructure. Complete project lifecycle management is enabled and provided in AEC through GIS.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"undefined block-editor-paragraph\">And yet, there is a critical need to integrate GIS and BIM &#8211; strong connections of the tools, data, and people are the secret to successful and repeatable project delivery. GIS and BIM are often kept separate, but when these components integrate, projects and teams thrive.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"606\" src=\"https:\/\/uat.esri.com\/en-us\/industries\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Paris-All-4square-1024x606.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-408882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/industries\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Paris-All-4square-1024x606.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/industries\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Paris-All-4square-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/industries\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Paris-All-4square-768x455.png 768w, https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/industries\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Paris-All-4square-1536x909.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/industries\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Paris-All-4square.png 1581w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>Gare du Nord station \u2013 BIM content placed in GIS scene providing context and details for wider access and exploration<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"undefined block-editor-paragraph\">Reducing internal silos between disciplines, streamlining workflows, and increasing productivity &#8211; these are differentiators in the marketplace.
