With the fast-rising adoption of digital technologies, architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) companies have started to leverage data to achieve operational ease by integrating data across systems, streamlining project workflows, and making data accessible. Join us as we walk through the AEC project lifecycle and explore how FME can help you increase operational efficiency at each stage of the project. Through customer stories and live demos, we will explore tips for overcoming common data challenges using FME including: - Creating data transformation workflows, such as CAD to GIS, point clouds to 3D models, and integrating data for facilities management. - Automating data integration workflows without any coding. We will run a Q&A session at the end to answer any questions you might have. Make sure to tune in!

4. Poll Question
Which best describe your company’s offerings?
❑ Full-Service Engineering Consulting
❑ Construction Company
❑ Architecture Firm
❑ Surveyors
❑ Geospatial solutions and system integration

5. Data Challenges in AEC
● Data silos in disparate systems across project teams
● Lack of automation in project workflows
● Data is not easily accessible to stakeholders who need it

6. ARUP’s team in Australia used FME to integrate GIS, CAD,
survey, asset, and design data to identify underground
clash for the Sydney Light Rail System Expansion project.
RESULTS
● The clash detection was output in a solid 3D model
and a web interface for 25 utilities stakeholders.
● Saved hours of manual calculations.
● Utilities requested the output to improve their own
networks.
“You could remove every single piece of software from my
desktop, but the one that I would need is FME.”

11. We’d love to hear from you
What are your data challenges in
the AEC project lifecycle?

12. FME helps AEC companies increase operational
efficiency throughout the project lifecycle by
integrating data across systems, streamlining
project workflows, and making data accessible.

13. AEC Project Lifecycle
1. Plan & Design
2. Build & Inspect
3. Operate & Maintain

14. Plan & Design
● Transform, validate and integrate data from
different systems, teams and applications
with automated workflows while retaining
data quality.
● Streamline project management with
automated workflows, keeping information
up-to-date.
● Improve stakeholder engagement and
cross-team collaboration with a central data
store for easier data sharing and informed
decision-making.

15. Project
Build a model of 2 million buildings for a 130 square mile city.
Solution
Transform and integrate data from different applications for modeling
and presentation needs.
Results
● Integrated BIM, GIS, CAD and raster data, and automatically
generated 3D buildings without writing any code.
● Improved project efficiency by reducing manual modeling efforts,
while retaining data quality.
● Future Plans: Streamline BIM workflows and enterprise data
management across the organization.
HOK
“We wouldn’t have been able to do this without FME.”
- Greg Schleusner, HOK
CUSTOMER STORY

16. Project
Create a company-wide, standardized data store for information
collected in the field to make it more accessible.
Solution
Build automated workflows to centralize data, perform quality
assurance checks and update the data store regularly.
Results
● Data is easily available to both the field crews that collect the data
and the end users of the data.
● Everyone can access the most current version of the data from a
single place.

21. Build & Inspect
● Transform point clouds to 3D models so
workers can perform inspections and quality
control virtually.
● Connect and integrate data from IoT sources
to manage labour and material more
efficiently on construction sites.

25. Operate & Maintain
● Integrate different asset data in a digital
twin to enhance asset performance,
simulate operations and forecast
maintenance activities.
● Build and integrate dynamic indoor maps
with facilities management systems to
optimize maintenance workflows.
● Centralized and visual asset information
ensures the data is always available to all
stakeholders.
