Seamlessly connect design and location data

Top AEC companies use ArcGIS for GIS and BIM collaboration, empowering connected construction workflows. Improve productivity, inform decision-making, and enhance coordination throughout your project life cycles.

Achieve comprehensive, sustainable planning

Capture details about existing conditions and predict outcomes

Combine BIM and CAD project data with authoritative, open, and ready-to-use content, including environmental data layers, to create dynamic, location-based visualizations.

Before projects begin, use these sophisticated maps and 3D models to identify prime locations, assess site suitability and risk, evaluate feasibility, or predict where specific permits are needed. Take a strategic approach and minimize environmental impacts.

Innovate with geography-driven design

Model and test scenarios for optimal outcomes

Perform comprehensive site analysis with ArcGIS to create detailed 3D models that highlight design restrictions and regulations. This ensures project feasibility, compliance, and sustainability.

Incorporate up-to-date details about natural and built environments—from terrain to power lines—into your designs for greater precision and improved collaboration among project stakeholders and teams.

Mitigate risk, build efficiently

Predict and prevent risk and keep projects on track

Give your teams the tools needed to build and access field maps, documentation, dashboards, and more. Support seamless coordination between build teams by monitoring progress, anticipating issues, and precisely locating where delays are or could occur.

Whether it’s a suburban subdivision or a nationwide infrastructure initiative, ArcGIS scales to meet the demands of any project, delivering a connected construction experience.

Operate with precision and resilience

Jumpstart operations with maintenance-ready data

Operationalize digital project deliverables as a foundation for asset and facility management, capital improvement planning, and real-time monitoring.

Augment BIM and CAD data from the entire project life cycle with geospatial context, improving accuracy and preventing data loss. Equip operations and maintenance teams with geoenriched tools to map and monitor assets, uncover opportunities, and improve emergency preparedness.
