Information-based modeling technology is supported by advanced information technology
solutions in the building industry. The integration of its methodology into construction
and design processes is already going on. However, many areas still have development
possibilities; for instance, building surveys belong to these fields. Countless survey
tools and methodologies endeavor to support and ease the work of professionals in
design and construction, yet there is a need for comprehensive collaboration. This
could be promoted by creating a direct link between survey tools and architectural
design software. This article demonstrates a tool under development that intends to
provide a solution to this issue.
