CAD and BIM have long served as the foundational design and construction documentation —but their utility often ends at project handoff. What if it didn’t? Indoor GIS is a floor-aware system of record for visualizing, analyzing, and managing facilities and collection of buildings. This session will demonstrate how to extend the life of CAD and BIM data into an indoor GIS, and empower CAD, BIM and GIS practitioners to build a Digital Workplace for building operations. Learn about the role of CAD and BIM integrations with GIS to fuel these workflows. See how to import design data into ArcGIS Indoors to map assets and manage spaces, enable real-time navigation with ArcGIS IPS, and equip facilities’ staff with mobile tools for asset inspections and maintenance. Whether new to GIS or looking to modernize facility operations workflows, this session provides you with guidance and examples to convert CAD and BIM data into Digital Workplaces that support asset and space management.

Jeevan Kalanithi, CEO and Co-founder of OpenSpace, and Michael Fleischman, CTO and Co-founder of OpenSpace, join the Digital Builder Podcast to discuss the evolution of reality capture and spatial AI in the AEC industry.

Data silos pose a significant risk to AI security and accuracy within every AEC firm. This session uses a playful, powerful metaphor—LEGO bricks—to demonstrate how effective data governance is the key to a robust and secure AI strategy. We will explore practical steps for implementing a foundational data governance framework, from initial stages to best practices. The session culminates in a hands-on exercise with real LEGO kits, a concrete demonstration of how intentional data organization directly translates to more efficient, secure, and higher-quality results.

What if the AEC industry could build it right the first time—every time? By learning from manufacturing, it can.

In this session, Manuel Liedot, CEO of Graitec, and Emmanuel Leroy, EVP of Graitec Solutions, will explore how Graitec is helping AEC professionals “shift left”—bringing simulation, constructability, and data intelligence earlier in the design process. This approach minimizes rework, shortens project timelines, and improves overall outcomes.

With deep roots in both manufacturing and AEC, the speakers will demonstrate how Graitec’s strategy is transforming traditional workflows. Through real-world case studies featuring Graitec tools like Advance Steel, StrucSoft, Rebar Detailing, Simulate, and Revit integrations, attendees will see how early-stage insights lead to smarter execution.

You'll walk away with a blueprint for moving from reactive problem-solving to proactive planning—designing with construction in mind from day one.
