Excel to BIM Update

Business Case

Problem Statement

After extracting BIM data to Excel and enriching it (cost codes, classifications, custom data):

• Changes need to flow back to the BIM model
• Manual re-entry is error-prone
• Updates must match by element ID

Solution

Push Excel data back to BIM models, updating element parameters and properties from spreadsheet changes.

Business Value

• Bi-directional workflow - BIM → Excel → BIM
• Bulk updates - Change thousands of parameters
• Data enrichment - Add classifications, codes, costs
• Consistency - Spreadsheet as single source of truth
