About Event

โ€‹Here is the content cleanly formatted, organized, and ready to paste directly into your Luma event description field:


โ€‹๐Ÿ›๏ธ Guest Session โ€” That Open Company

โ€‹The team behind the leading open-source BIM engine joins us to introduce That Open Engine and explore what you can build with it. An inspiring intro + hands-on exploration โ€” then you build!

  • โ€‹Free & Open Source: JS/TS libraries โ€” build and sell whatever you create.

  • โ€‹Runs Anywhere: Web, server (Node), desktop (Electron), and mobile.

  • โ€‹IFC in the Browser: Import, display, navigate, edit, and export BIM models.

  • โ€‹Built for Scale: Fragments renders millions of elements in seconds.

  • โ€‹2D + 3D: Floorplans, sections, dimensions, annotations, and DXF export.

  • โ€‹Plugs into Data: Power BI, SharePoint, Drive, plus GIS via Cesium/Mapbox.


โ€‹๐ŸŽฏ What to Build โ€” Connect the Cost Model to the Building Model

โ€‹Your solution already knows where the money is going. Now make it visible. Pick a lane:

  • โ€‹Colour the Model by Cost Health: RAG / CPI per element or cost centre. Overruns light up red.

  • โ€‹Click an Element โ†’ Its Cost Story: BOQ item, budget, actual, variance, forecast.

  • โ€‹Instant Quantities โ†’ BOQ: Take quantities off the model to feed your estimates/norms.

  • โ€‹Zone Heatmap: Map cost centres onto the model using Zone/Area & Discipline data.

  • โ€‹2D Plans with Cost Markup: Generate plans/sections and annotate variances directly.


โ€‹๐Ÿงฉ The Toolkit โ€” That Open Engine

โ€‹Everything is open source and documented. Explore tutorials, APIs, and live examples at docs.thatopen.com.

  • โ€‹engine_fragment (Open Source)

    • โ€‹Store, display, navigate, and edit massive BIM data using a high-performance Three.js viewer.

  • โ€‹engine_components (Open Source)

    • โ€‹Pre-made Three.js BIM tools: floorplan navigation, dimensions, postproduction, DXF export, viewpoints, and more.

  • โ€‹engine_ui-components (Open Source)

    • โ€‹Ready-made web components for BIM UIs (panels, tables, toolbars) so you don't build the chrome from scratch.

  • โ€‹web-ifc (Open Source โ€” already in our stack)

    • โ€‹The IFC parser underneath it all, currently used in WakeCap's Observation Manager V2 and Portfolio Control Center.


โ€‹โฐ Agenda

โ€‹Here is the updated Run of the Day & Judging Criteria section formatted cleanly in Markdown, optimized to copy and paste straight into Luma:


โ€‹โฐ Run of the Day

  • โ€‹11:00 โ€” Doors, Coffee & Settle at Tables (Khaled + Mentors)

    • โ€‹Reconnect with your team and get set up.

  • โ€‹11:30 โ€” Opening: Today's Mission (Khaled / Hassan)

    • โ€‹Where we are, and today's shift: moving from tables and charts directly into the model.

  • โ€‹11:45 โ€” ๐Ÿ›๏ธ That Open Company โ€” Intro & Exploration (Guest ยท ~45 min)

    • โ€‹Introduction to That Open Engine, what you can build with it, and a live look at the tools. Bring questions!

  • โ€‹12:30 โ€” Lunch ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ

    • โ€‹Fuel up โ€” and talk through what you'll build.

  • โ€‹13:15 โ€” Build & Deepen โ€” Put Your Cost Model on the Building (Everyone ยท until 15:00)

    • โ€‹One focused session: pick a lane above and make it real. Mentors and That Open team circulate. Don't break what already works.

  • โ€‹15:00 โ€” ๐ŸŽฎ Kahoot! Trivia (Khaled ยท 30 min)

    • โ€‹A fun round before pitches โ€” construction, AI & QS themed. Bragging rights (and a small prize) for the winner.

  • โ€‹15:30 โ€” ๐ŸŽค Final Presentations (Teams โ†’ Panel ยท 20 min each)

    • โ€‹Show it: what you had โ†’ what you visualized โ†’ why a QS would use it.

  • โ€‹Post-Pitches โ€” Panel Judging & Awards ๐Ÿ† (Hassan + Panel)

    • โ€‹Judges confer, feedback to the room, and prizes for the top builds.


โ€‹โš–๏ธ Official Judging Criteria โ€” GPMF Scoring (100 Marks)

โ€‹We are scoring solutions against the official GPMF/PMA framework (Event Handbook Rev.1, ยง7.5) so your project is submission-ready.

โ€‹CriterionMarksWhat We're Looking ForBusiness Impact & Value Creation20Cost overruns avoided, money saved, better decisions. Clear, actionable recovery recommendations, and scalability beyond one project.Problem Relevance & Clarity15A real QS problem, sharply framed. Would a quantity surveyor actually reach for this?Technical Design & Architecture15Sound approach: confidence/uncertainty, risk as likelihood ร— impact, and an engineering mindset (smart AI delegation, evaluation strategy).Presentation & Communication15Clear story, no jargon: what you had โ†’ what you added โ†’ how you proved it.Team Collaboration & Engagement15Cross-disciplinary teamwork (devs + cost/PM + design) and engagement across sessions.Innovation & AI Application10How far you pushed it today (including builds on That Open Engine) and meaningful AI application.Prototype Quality & Demonstration10End-to-end functionality with accuracy proven against a baseline โ€” not just claimed.

โ€‹Tie-Breakers: Business Impact โ†’ Prototype Quality โ†’ Problem Clarity.
