Building Information Modelling for High-rise Land Administration

Abstract

Current land administration systems mainly use 2D plans to define and secure ownership rights associated with properties in high-rise buildings. These 2D plans may not effectively communicate and manage the spatial complexity associated with multi-layered and stacked properties in such buildings; additionally, multiple pages of plans (representing sections of the building) are required to represent all ownership boundaries. In response, land administration organizations have been investigating a 3D digital approach to managing information about ownership rights in high-rise building structures. In this article, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is proposed as a feasible approach for managi..
