StreamBIM
BIM for Civil Engineering
StreamBIM for Civil Engineering, bridging the gap between BIM and GIS.
Bringing worlds together.
Both BIM and GIS tools and platforms are used in architecture, engineering, construction, and urban planning, but they serve different purposes and operate at different scales. While the object-oriented BIM world has historically focused on detailed design, construction, and facility management of individual buildings or infrastructure assets, the GIS world focuses more on spatial analysis, planning, and management of land, terrain, infrastructure networks, and natural resources. So the scope of BIM and GIS is different and so are the data models, standards and intended applications. Fortunately there’s evolution to existing standards end new ones emerging, but Integration between BIM and GIS is still challenging due to differences in data granularity, semantics, and coordinate systems. Separated worlds that has to be seen together…
StreamBIM bridges this gap and our BIM platform is built for supporting infrastructure construction — giving civil teams robust BIM collaboration tools enriched with geospatial (GIS) data. Whether you’re working on roads, tunnels, railways and infrastructure assets. StreamBIM combines high-performance model viewing with field-ready tools, location-based workflows, and support for GIS features and data such as WMS services.
Why Infrastructure Projects need both BIM and GIS
Civil construction happens across space — not just in models:
- Designs stretch across kilometers and demand spatial accuracy
- Field teams need location-aware tools that reflect real-world conditions
- Combining BIM and GIS data provides better decision-making
StreamBIM brings BIM-first workflows into geospatially aware environments — ensuring alignment between design, construction, and location.
What StreamBIM Offers for Civil Engineering with GIS
✔ High-Performance BIM Model Viewer
View large infrastructure models — including IFC, terrain, and point clouds — directly in browser or mobile. StreamBIM handles heavy data with responsive rendering and no plugins.
✔ Built-in Coordinate System Support (CRS)
StreamBIM supports project-defined coordinate systems (e.g., UTM, NTM, EPSG codes), allowing infrastructure models to be placed and aligned in real-world space. This enables accurate positioning across disciplines and field devices.
✔ GPS-Aware Mobile Tools
Field users can see their live GPS location inside the model — helping them orient themselves, locate issues, and document findings with precise geospatial reference.
✔ GIS-Enabled Features: WMS Map Layers
StreamBIM is introducing WMS map layer support, enabling users to overlay regulatory maps, terrain data, and aerial imagery directly within the 3D viewer. This adds true GIS functionality to a BIM-centric platform — combining design with real-world context.
✔ Model based construction
Design and build using BIM and GIS models, moving away from traditional drawings!
✔ Field BIM for model based construction measurements, communication, QA
Issues, photos, checklists, and observations are recorded directly on objects or coordinates in the model — creating a traceable link between what’s observed and where it happened.

What customers say about STREAMBIM
If you ask me, the elegance of StreamBIM lies in the fact that everything is gathered in one place. In the self-explanatory interface you will find all the tools and aids you may need. On one and the same easy-to-navigate surface. Being able to collect as much as possible in one solution is worth its weight in gold
By using StreamBIM in the planning phase as well as throughout the production, we created a digital twin which allows traceability on building components. This is amazing compared to the previous way we completed a handover. In the past we received thick folders with paper documents from the main contractors, which we never use because the information we need is difficult to search for.
What we save in time and money by not having to correct construction mistakes is so much greater [than our experience on pervious project without StreamBIM].
We have used BIM in planning for a long time, also as a central part of our planning meetings. The advantage we see with StreamBIM is being able to handle tasks afterwards, especially where we can use workflows and "issues" to follow up the goals, and keep better control of what has been done.
