Building Information
Modelling (BIM) is generally associated with new building
projects. Now, BIM techniques are being adapted for the
Conditioned Surveys of existing buildings and infrastructure.
A Condition Survey provides an assessment of the physical
property conditions at a given point in time by indentifying
deficiencies & maintenance issues with structural,
mechanical, electrical, plumbing, safety and security systems.
Maintenance care contracts can include the periodic
monitoring and testing of the building and site systems.
A BIM based Conditioned Survey can provide property
owners and engineering consultants with a complete digital
information source and report where all findings, test results,
calculations, detailed narrative and photographs are available
through a 3D BIM. Some of the advantages include the ability
to better analyse historical data, plus the means to capture
field information in more detail and with greater consistency.
Over time the result is a complete BIM information source
that clearly defines the property condition and can be used to
increase or decrease the suggested market value of a
property.
ArtrA
The model building process took one week and the BIM was
delivered in several formats including DWG, IFC and as a
Navisworks file (500kb) for ArtrA Field-BIM.

PHOTOGRAPHS
ArtrA allows digital photographs to be linked to objects in the
BIM. This process is automatic when the photograph is taken
through a tablet PC equipped with the necessary in-built
technology, (e.g. Motion Series). When a hand-held digital
camera is used (as in this case), the engineer records the DSC
image number in the tag-input-form and manually links the
image later.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Prior to the (BIM) site survey, the previous five years
recorded Conditioned Survey defects were added to ArtrA.
This was accomplished by re-entering the annotation on 2D
drawings & handwritten notes as ArtrA tags and properties,
and linking them to the corresponding structural objects in
the model; a process that was completed in a few days.
ARTRA BOOKMARKS
Existing defects were saved as a Bookmark view and named.
ArtrA Bookmarks provide a means for quickly finding and
reviewing the nature and locations of pre-existing defects.
When a Bookmark is selected on the tablet, ArtrA will zoom

REPORTING
Information captured from site can be reported in several
tabular or thematic formats depending on what is required.
Because the information is held in a SQL database, reports
can combine (BIM) model data with information captured
from site and filtered accordingly.
Existing Survey Drawing Added to ArtrA Field-BIM
The ability to drill down into the data allows detailed reports
to be created such as list all defects to the deck (slab), on all
levels in zone B, that have occurred after a given date

THEMATIC REPORTS
Any information in the database can be portrayed
thematically in colour via the model to visually locate it
within the structure, and communicate the extent of an issue.
TABLET PCs
Different tools & hardware devices are required if BIM is to
be used in the Field. They must be easy enough for engineers,
site foreman, & facilities managers to use, provide full access
to all design information and documentation, and have the
ability to capture data.
ArtrA Field-BIM runs on
tablet
PCs
specifically
designed for field use; being
durable, resistant to water &
dust and with high visibility
screens. They are also
suitable for use whilst
wearing protective gloves &
clothing.
