Description
Early-stage site design moves fast, but ground conditions rarely keep up. Excavation costs are a top risk driver, yet reliable estimates arrive long after key decisions are made.
This session demonstrates outcome-based BIM in practice: directly from Forma, GroundIQ generates a 3D ground model from site investigation data and delivers excavation volumes and cost estimates automatically without specialist intervention.
Attendees see a live demo: footprint placed, ground intelligence derived, cost insight surfaced instantly. BIM that connects subsurface conditions to project outcomes.
Key Learnings
- Integrate subsurface site investigation data into Autodesk Forma to automatically generate a 3D ground model using GroundIQ.
- Estimate excavation volumes and associated cost ranges at the early design stage, directly within the Forma environment.
- Identify how automated ground modelling reduces cost uncertainty in infrastructure and building preconstruction workflows.
- Assess the business case for connecting geotechnical intelligence to design tools as part of an outcome-based BIM strategy.
