BIM and IFC model analysis
Understand what a model actually contains before any cost, carbon or risk work begins.
Discuss your modelThe challenge
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.
IN
What we need (inputs)
- A BIM or IFC model (IFC is treated as the semantic source of truth)
OUT
What we produce (outputs)
- 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
- 1Validate the spatial hierarchy (project, site, building, storey, space).
- 2Extract geometry, building elements, spaces, materials and relationships.
- 3Establish IFC GlobalId as the key that links every later analysis back to the model.
Limitations & 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.
