๐๏ธ Guest Session โ That Open Company
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!
Free & Open Source: JS/TS libraries โ build and sell whatever you create.Runs Anywhere: Web, server (Node), desktop (Electron), and mobile.IFC in the Browser: Import, display, navigate, edit, and export BIM models.Built for Scale: Fragments renders millions of elements in seconds.2D + 3D: Floorplans, sections, dimensions, annotations, and DXF export.Plugs into Data: Power BI, SharePoint, Drive, plus GIS via Cesium/Mapbox.
๐ฏ What to Build โ Connect the Cost Model to the Building Model
Your solution already knows where the money is going. Now make it visible. Pick a lane:
Colour the Model by Cost Health: RAG / CPI per element or cost centre. Overruns light up red.Click an Element โ Its Cost Story: BOQ item, budget, actual, variance, forecast.Instant Quantities โ BOQ: Take quantities off the model to feed your estimates/norms.Zone Heatmap: Map cost centres onto the model using Zone/Area & Discipline data.2D Plans with Cost Markup: Generate plans/sections and annotate variances directly.
๐งฉ The Toolkit โ That Open Engine
Everything is open source and documented. Explore tutorials, APIs, and live examples at docs.thatopen.com.
engine_fragment (Open Source)Store, display, navigate, and edit massive BIM data using a high-performance Three.js viewer.engine_components (Open Source)Pre-made Three.js BIM tools: floorplan navigation, dimensions, postproduction, DXF export, viewpoints, and more.engine_ui-components (Open Source)Ready-made web components for BIM UIs (panels, tables, toolbars) so you don't build the chrome from scratch.web-ifc (Open Source โ already in our stack)The IFC parser underneath it all, currently used in WakeCap's Observation Manager V2 and Portfolio Control Center.
โฐ Agenda
Here is the updated Run of the Day & Judging Criteria section formatted cleanly in Markdown, optimized to copy and paste straight into Luma:
โฐ Run of the Day
11:00 โ Doors, Coffee & Settle at Tables (Khaled + Mentors)Reconnect with your team and get set up.11:30 โ Opening: Today's Mission (Khaled / Hassan)Where we are, and today's shift: moving from tables and charts directly into the model.11:45 โ ๐๏ธ That Open Company โ Intro & Exploration (Guest ยท ~45 min)Introduction to That Open Engine, what you can build with it, and a live look at the tools. Bring questions!12:30 โ Lunch ๐ฝ๏ธFuel up โ and talk through what you'll build.13:15 โ Build & Deepen โ Put Your Cost Model on the Building (Everyone ยท until 15:00)One focused session: pick a lane above and make it real. Mentors and That Open team circulate. Don't break what already works.15:00 โ ๐ฎ Kahoot! Trivia (Khaled ยท 30 min)A fun round before pitches โ construction, AI & QS themed. Bragging rights (and a small prize) for the winner.15:30 โ ๐ค Final Presentations (Teams โ Panel ยท 20 min each)Show it: what you had โ what you visualized โ why a QS would use it.Post-Pitches โ Panel Judging & Awards ๐ (Hassan + Panel)Judges confer, feedback to the room, and prizes for the top builds.
โ๏ธ Official Judging Criteria โ GPMF Scoring (100 Marks)
We are scoring solutions against the official GPMF/PMA framework (Event Handbook Rev.1, ยง7.5) so your project is submission-ready.
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.
Tie-Breakers: Business Impact โ Prototype Quality โ Problem Clarity.
