Exciting news: TUM just released the GlobalBuildingAtlas – the first open-source dataset with 2.5D models of ALL 2.75 billion buildings on Earth!
Why it matters: While countries like Switzerland have excellent public building/terrain data, much of the world (including Germany) has lacked this. This dataset helps bridge that gap for urban analytics, planning, and facility management globally.
At ioLabs, we also connect building models with GIS in ioFM – letting you view buildings in spatial context and gain insights about surrounding areas for smarter facility management decisions.

How does ioFM actually look and feel in daily work? Instead of long whitepapers, we prepared a short, three-minute walkthrough that shows the core idea behind ioFM: room-centric Minimal BIM combined with 3D scans and simple, FM-ready data.
We are pleased to enter into a partnership-based collaboration with auxalia. The goal is to develop new solutions for BIM-based building operations and to further expand customer-specific collaboration and cloud workflows.
A short but inspiring trip to Berlin this week - it was a great opportunity to join a workshop on developing the digitalisation concept for one of our clients – a major German pharma and lab construction company.
