BIM and IFC model analysis
Understand what a model actually contains before any cost, carbon or risk work begins.
The problem
Project decisions are often made on models whose structure and completeness are unknown. Before a model can support reliable cost, carbon or risk analysis, its spatial hierarchy and contents need to be validated and read.
What we need (input)
- A BIM or IFC model (IFC is treated as the semantic source of truth)
What we produce (output)
- An interactive model view
- A structured inventory of elements and spaces
- A basis for property, quantity, cost, carbon and risk work
How the analysis works
- Validate the spatial hierarchy (project, site, building, storey, space).
- Extract geometry, building elements, spaces, materials and relationships.
- Establish IFC GlobalId as the key that links every later analysis back to the model.
Limitations and honesty
Demonstration data- Outputs depend on what the supplied model contains; gaps are reported, not invented.
- The interactive model shown on this site uses a demonstration model with example data.
