In-depth technical guides, regulatory analyses, and practical workflows for digital engineering leaders, BIM managers, and infrastructure asset owners.
How open IFC and IDS validation workflows partner with relational digital twins to validate NHS Health Building Notes (HBN 00-01), reconcile macro GFA briefs, and detect uncomputed clinical areas, unit mismatches, and spatial variance across complex facilities.
Why do information standards (IDS) fail real-world BIM compliance? How digital twins and computational geometry break through the IDS ceiling to verify spatial physics, dynamic clearances, and statutory rules.
What happens when you calculate rail carbon directly from OpenBIM (IFC)? We took an open IFC model of the Dinsdale to Allens West rail corridor and built an automated, rule-based carbon calculation pipeline aligned with RICS WLCA 2nd Edition and PAS 2080:2023.
Why storing 400 static PDFs in a Common Data Environment (CDE) folder will not survive Building Safety Regulator (BSR) scrutiny at Gateway 2, how the Fire Index was built as a specialized profile of Digital Index, and how you can run a free statutory audit on your own iModel today.
How performant are your ecSQL queries on large infrastructure models? Learn how to use the PRAGMA explain_query tool to identify full table scans, index misses, and dramatically speed up iModel data queries.
How to use index.itwin.app to check the completeness of your iModel, calculate risk metrics, and track digital twin data trends across project changesets.
An analytical examination of grading scales, measurement variance, and assessment fairness.
