Why you should Invest in a Esri Subscription

Investing in Esri’s ArcGIS platform provides a distinct competitive advantage, particularly relevant to Singapore’s digitally evolving construction landscape:

  1. Enhanced Project Lifecycle Management (Aligns with IDD): Integrate BIM/CAD data with authoritative geospatial information (terrain, utilities, environmental data, regulations) for a holistic project view from planning through design, construction, and operation.
  2. Improved Planning & Design: Conduct comprehensive site analysis, visualize constraints, simulate scenarios, and incorporate real-world context into designs, ensuring feasibility, compliance, and sustainability. 
  3. Efficient Construction: Enhance coordination between office and field teams, monitor progress visually on maps, predict and mitigate risks by understanding the geographic context of potential issues or delays. 
  4. Smarter Operations & Asset Management: Leverage geoenriched BIM data for efficient facility management, maintenance scheduling, asset tracking, and emergency preparedness – crucial for the operational phase emphasized by IDD and Singapore’s BIM Guide for Asset Information Delivery.
  5. Data-Driven Decision Making: Utilize powerful spatial analysis tools to identify patterns, predict outcomes, optimize resource allocation, and support strategic decisions across your business.

Esri Key Features

  • BIM and CAD Data Integration: Seamlessly connect, visualize, analyze, and share BIM (e.g., Revit, IFC) and CAD data within a geospatial context using ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS GeoBIM. Integrate design models with authoritative location information for enhanced understanding. 
  • Advanced Mapping & Visualization: Create compelling and informative 2D and 3D maps, scenes, and digital twins that integrate project designs, site context, environmental data, and real-time information feeds.
  • Powerful Spatial Analysis for AEC: Conduct sophisticated analyses crucial for the built environment, such as site suitability assessments, visibility analysis, shadow analysis, cut-and-fill calculations, scenario modeling, risk assessment, and spatial statistics, using tools within ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online.
  • Cloud-Based Collaboration & Sharing (ArcGIS Online): Provide a common platform for project teams and stakeholders to securely access, share, and collaborate on maps, apps, dashboards, and project data (including linked BIM/CAD info) from anywhere, on any device. 

Who is Esri Meant for?

FAQs About esri Subscription

Yes, Esri has a strategic alliance with Autodesk. ArcGIS Pro can directly read many BIM and CAD formats (like Revit, Civil 3D). Tools like ArcGIS GeoBIM further streamline cloud-to-cloud integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud, allowing you to view and analyze BIM models within a rich geospatial context.

Let us help you demystify the licensing! By discussing your team’s typical workflows – from BIM/CAD integration and advanced analysis in ArcGIS Pro to field data collection and stakeholder viewing via ArcGIS Online – we can map the required capabilities to the appropriate User Types and software components. Our goal is to ensure each team member has precisely the tools they need, aligning licenses to roles effectively and optimizing your investment. Contact us to explore the possibilities.

We understand navigating the options can seem daunting. The best way to start is by talking with us. We can discuss your specific project needs, team roles (designers, engineers, field staff, managers), and goals (like enhancing BIM workflows or meeting IDD requirements) to recommend the most suitable and cost-effective combination of ArcGIS User Types and licenses for your organization.
