In October 2010 London South Bank University (LSBU) approached Spatial Intelligence (SI) to generate ‘data rich’ CAD drawings that were fully compatible with the Tribal K2 database. This was a time sensitive project as the launch of Tribal K2 was only four weeks away.
It was clear from the out-set that the existing CAD drawings were dimensionally accurate but a concern for LBSU was that the reference data in the K2 database would not match up with the reference data in the CAD drawings.
The first task for SI was to create GIA, GEA and space area polygons for each room and building along with attribute blocks; ROOM, FLOOR, BUILDING and PROPERTY, each with a unique set of tags. The next challenge was to match the reference data from K2 to the references in the CAD drawings. The result was one CAD drawing per floor per building and an exception report detailing the matched rooms, rooms where we had to assign a reference and rooms that existed in the K2 database but not on the CAD drawings. A new CAD drawing layout was created with the new verified room references, the full dataset could then be uploaded to the K2 database at LBSU offices.
SI’s knowledge and experience of datasets and databases enabled all work to be completed on budget, ahead of schedule and in time for LBSU launch of K2.
A follow-on project was commissioned to load additional data into the CAD drawings to support space use charging.
