Methods and systems for mapping and processing building information modeling (bim)- based data

A method for operating a building information modeling (BIM) system, comprising:

• at a master client computing device, accessing a network-based BIM engine executed on a BIM server;
• and
• sending a save data command to the BIM server, the save data command requesting associative mapping between identification data for display in each of a building model, a hierarchical structure of building model data, and a Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie) spreadsheet executed via a BIM engine in the BIM server.

A building information modeling (BIM) system comprising:

• a BIM server providing a network-based BIM engine to a plurality of computing devices over a network;
• and
• a client computing device in electronic communication with the BIM server via the network configured to send a save data command to the BIM engine, the save data command configured to request associative mapping between identification data for display in each of a building model, a hierarchical structure of building model data, and a Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie) spreadsheet executed via a BIM engine in the BIM server.
