GPMF AI Hackathon ยท The Finale | See the Money in the Model
โHere is the content cleanly formatted, organized, and ready to paste directly into your Luma event description field:
โ๐๏ธ Guest Session โ That Open Company
โThe 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!
โFree & Open Source: JS/TS libraries โ build and sell whatever you create.
โRuns Anywhere: Web, server (Node), desktop (Electron), and mobile.
โIFC in the Browser: Import, display, navigate, edit, and export BIM models.
โBuilt for Scale: Fragments renders millions of elements in seconds.
โ2D + 3D: Floorplans, sections, dimensions, annotations, and DXF export.
โPlugs into Data: Power BI, SharePoint, Drive, plus GIS via Cesium/Mapbox.
โ๐ฏ What to Build โ Connect the Cost Model to the Building Model
โYour solution already knows where the money is going. Now make it visible. Pick a lane:
โColour the Model by Cost Health: RAG / CPI per element or cost centre. Overruns light up red.
โClick an Element โ Its Cost Story: BOQ item, budget, actual, variance, forecast.
โInstant Quantities โ BOQ: Take quantities off the model to feed your estimates/norms.
โZone Heatmap: Map cost centres onto the model using Zone/Area & Discipline data.
โ2D Plans with Cost Markup: Generate plans/sections and annotate variances directly.
โ๐งฉ The Toolkit โ That Open Engine
โEverything is open source and documented. Explore tutorials, APIs, and live examples at docs.thatopen.com.
โ
engine_fragment(Open Source)โStore, display, navigate, and edit massive BIM data using a high-performance Three.js viewer.
โ
engine_components(Open Source)โPre-made Three.js BIM tools: floorplan navigation, dimensions, postproduction, DXF export, viewpoints, and more.
โ
engine_ui-components(Open Source)โReady-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)โThe IFC parser underneath it all, currently used in WakeCap's Observation Manager V2 and Portfolio Control Center.
โโฐ Agenda
โHere is the updated Run of the Day & Judging Criteria section formatted cleanly in Markdown, optimized to copy and paste straight into Luma:
โโฐ Run of the Day
โ11:00 โ Doors, Coffee & Settle at Tables (Khaled + Mentors)
โReconnect with your team and get set up.
โ11:30 โ Opening: Today's Mission (Khaled / Hassan)
โWhere we are, and today's shift: moving from tables and charts directly into the model.
โ11:45 โ ๐๏ธ That Open Company โ Intro & Exploration (Guest ยท ~45 min)
โIntroduction to That Open Engine, what you can build with it, and a live look at the tools. Bring questions!
โ12:30 โ Lunch ๐ฝ๏ธ
โFuel up โ and talk through what you'll build.
โ13:15 โ Build & Deepen โ Put Your Cost Model on the Building (Everyone ยท until 15:00)
โOne focused session: pick a lane above and make it real. Mentors and That Open team circulate. Don't break what already works.
โ15:00 โ ๐ฎ Kahoot! Trivia (Khaled ยท 30 min)
โA fun round before pitches โ construction, AI & QS themed. Bragging rights (and a small prize) for the winner.
โ15:30 โ ๐ค Final Presentations (Teams โ Panel ยท 20 min each)
โShow it: what you had โ what you visualized โ why a QS would use it.
โPost-Pitches โ Panel Judging & Awards ๐ (Hassan + Panel)
โJudges confer, feedback to the room, and prizes for the top builds.
โโ๏ธ Official Judging Criteria โ GPMF Scoring (100 Marks)
โWe are scoring solutions against the official GPMF/PMA framework (Event Handbook Rev.1, ยง7.5) so your project is submission-ready.
โCriterionMarksWhat 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.
โTie-Breakers: Business Impact โ Prototype Quality โ Problem Clarity.
