Abstract

The integration of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is becoming increasingly important in the construction industry and urban planning, helping to create smart cities and digital twins. The research, which involved expert interviews, and an online survey conducted among specialists from partner countries, shows that there is a significant skills gap, as many professionals lack expertise in combining BIM and GIS. It also indicates that while the integration of these technologies is advancing, it is still in the early stages. To tackle this issue, the BIRGIT project—featuring partners from Sweden, Italy, Spain, Belgium, and Croatia—aims to develop new educational programs that meet market demands. Ongoing initiatives like BIRGIT are vital for bridging the skills gap and ensuring that professionals are well-equipped to effectively implement these technologies, ultimately improving project management and decision-making in the industry.
