Building information model management system with hierarchy generation

A method comprising:

• obtaining, by one or processors, building information model (BIM) data associated with a building comprising one or more building assets;
• identifying, by the one or more processors, one or more BIM objects within the BIM, the one or more BIM objects associated with the one or more building assets;
• identifying, by the one or more processors, one or more object relationships between the one or more BIM objects;
• applying, by the one or more processors, semantic descriptions the one or more BIM objects and the one or more object relationships;
• and
• generating, by the one or more processors, a hierarchy structure for the building based on the one of more BIM objects and the one or more object relationships, the hierarchy structure including the semantic description of each of the one or more BIM objects and the one or more object relationships.

A non-transitory computer readable media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining building information model (BIM) data associated with a building comprising one or more building assets;
• extracting metadata from the BIM data to identify one or more BIM objects associated with the one or more building assets and relationships between the one or more BIM objects;
• applying a semantic description schema to the extracted metadata, the semantic description schema defining the one or more BIM objects and relationships in a natural language;
• generating a hierarchy structure for the building based on the one of more BIM objects and the relationships, the hierarchy structure including the semantic description of the one or more BIM objects and the one or more object relationships;
• and
• presenting, via a user interface of a user device, the hierarchy structure.
