The adoption of Sparksee has significantly improved the centralization and structuring of BIM data. By converting IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) files into a graph format, this technology enables more effective management of complex relationships between construction objects. This breakthrough allows for more efficient analysis, providing a clear and easily queryable representation of these relationships. The results highlight that graph databases outperform traditional relational databases in managing the multidimensional data structures inherent to BIM.
One of the project’s most notable achievements is the significant optimization of IFC file loading times. Compared to previous methods using alternative graph databases, Sparksee has demonstrated far superior efficiency. Files that previously required substantial time to load can now be processed significantly faster. This remarkable improvement not only accelerates BIM file integration but also streamlines workflows, enabling to seamlessly handle multiple BIM files from various systems and tools, enhancing interoperability with asset management systems.
The project based on Sparksee database technology paves the way for a construction company to implement digital twin solutions. By harnessing advanced tools that support real-time, data-driven decision-making, the company can deliver innovative services to its clients, generating substantial added value and gaining a competitive edge in the construction and facility management industry.
