A Journey from Zero to 2.5 Million m2 in a Year

El Corte Ingles is the largest department store chain in Europe and one of the biggest real estate owners in Spain. Within a larger digital transformation strategy, the Real Estate area has embraced BIM methodology and in 2022 has embarked on the digitization of 20+ of their malls. Every year, a substantial investment is made in order to bring their assets up to the highest building management standards. BIM models provide now a single, up-to-date and reliable source to study and plan yearly investment and designs. In this case study we will take an in-depth look at our approach which has enabled us to model the existing assets in some 20+ centers and our biggest logistic platform in less than a year, taking advantage of point clouds and 360° pictures. We will showcase the hits and misses of this journey, where we have gone from zero BIM knowledge to managing more than 2.5M m2, including the transformation of 60K+ unique furniture items to Revit families.
