Why Icon Map for Property, Construction & Engineering?
Every project happens somewhere: piers rising out of a valley, lorries on the haul road, cranes over the neighbors' gardens, a portfolio spread across a region. Icon Map puts the schedule, the plant and the people on one live, interactive map, inside the Power BI reports and Microsoft Fabric workspaces you already use.

Delivery you can see
Every activity, in its place
Schedules, progress returns, plant telematics, delivery bookings and environmental sensors already sit in your data platform. Icon Map shows them where the work happens, so a project team sees the site, not a spreadsheet: which piers are behind, where the lorries are queuing, which homes are hearing the breaker, how much is built against the plan.

Progress against the planPlanned and actual progress by location, and a time slider to replay the build or look ahead.
Logistics on real roadsHaul and delivery routes from Icon Map's route engine, lorries tracked through the gate, and the trips behind every pour.
Neighbors and the environmentNoise, dust and vibration monitors against their limits, beside the activity that drives them.
Infrastructure delivery · A rail viaduct in the Sauerland
A digital twin of the build
A high-speed rail viaduct across a real valley in North Rhine-Westphalia: ten 52 m spans on piers up to 54 m tall, the deck launched from a yard behind the east abutment, one segment a week. Drag the schedule to watch it rise, or play a working day to see the mixers, tippers, cranes and monitors. Click a pier or a lorry for its details. Below the map, the takt plan and the Last Planner week are linked to it: point at a location to find it on the map.
-
Takt plan by location · planned (outline) and actual, week by week
The viaduct, its schedule and the site activity are illustrative: the scheme was designed for this page, and the lorries, pours and monitor readings are simulated from its schedule. The ground is real. The aerial imagery (10 cm, Geobasis NRW) and the 1 m terrain (Geobasis NRW DGM1) come from the Icon Map Catalog, with the approach cuttings dug into the terrain as the earthworks progress. Their volumes are measured from that terrain. The lorry routes to the A45 and the quarry are computed on Icon Map's route engine. The takt plan, weekly work plan and PPC are derived from the same schedule, as a report's lean planning visuals would be from your planning data. 3D models, playback and the time slider are features of Icon Map for Fabric.
Property development · A city-center site in York
Test a scheme against the real city
Every building around the site in 3D at its measured height, with its listed grade, conservation area and flood zone, from the Icon Map Catalog. Change the scheme's height and see its shadow move through an equinox, midsummer or midwinter day, which neighbors it reaches, and how it sits against the constraints.
SchemeIts new shadowNeighbors it reachesGrade III*IIConservation area
The scheme is illustrative: nothing is proposed for this site. The buildings, their heights, listed grades, conservation areas and flood zones are real, from the Icon Map Catalog's GB Buildings layer (measured from Environment Agency LiDAR, with Historic England and OS OpenData) and the Environment Agency's flood zones. The shadow study is computed on this page from the same heights, for flat ground. 3D buildings are a feature of Icon Map for Fabric.
From one site to the whole portfolio · Icon Map Pro for Power BI
Every project, and how it is doing
A contractor's live portfolio in a Power BI report: each project as a progress ring, complete against plan and colored by its status, rolling up into clusters that show the mix of on-track and at-risk work as you zoom out. Click a sector or a status to filter the map, or a project for its numbers.

The portfolio is illustrative: real towns, invented projects and figures. Clusters with donut charts, cross-filtering and tooltips are standard Icon Map Pro features in Power BI, and work the same way in Icon Map for Fabric.
Quality and handover · A new secondary school
Every snag, where it was found
The school's CAD floor plans on the map in 3D, the walls extruded to story height, and every defect from the pre-handover inspections pinned in the room it is in. The panel filters with the map: what is still open, what is overdue, and whether the snag list will be cleared by handover at the rate it is closing.
OpenIn progressReady to inspectClosedPriority A
The school, its plans and its snags are illustrative, drawn on a real plot on the edge of Milton Keynes. The plans are shown as Icon Map's CAD import makes them, room floors and walls as polygons extruded to story height, and the snags come from your inspection or field app's data.
How it works
From the schedule to a living site
Bring in the project data
Schedule activities, progress returns, plant telematics, delivery bookings and sensor feeds flow into Fabric through Eventstream, or sit in your Lakehouse and Warehouse for history.
Eventstream · Eventhouse · OneLake
Put it on the real ground
Aerial imagery, terrain and 3D buildings from the Icon Map Catalog, your own drone surveys, site plans and CAD, and 3D models for the structure and every item of plant.

Run the project
Replay the build or look ahead with the time slider, follow a lorry, and measure progress, logistics and environmental performance with every chart in the report filtering together.
Icon Map for Fabric · Icon Map Pro
Project delivery, site operations and the asset portfolio
Where construction and property teams use Icon Map
Progress and schedule
Overlay 4D-BIM states and progress returns on the site, spot slippage early and protect the critical path.
Health and safety
Map accidents, near misses and inspections, and direct mitigation to the zones and activities with the highest risk.
Plant, fleet and materials
Live positions of cranes, plant, lorries and high-value materials from telematics and RFID, to cut idle time, prevent theft and allocate costs.
Traffic and logistics
Haul routes, delivery slots and gate movements on one map, to optimize deliveries and evidence the Construction Logistics Plan.
Quality and snagging
Defects, inspections and sign-offs pinned on georeferenced plans, to speed up close-out and handover.
Environmental monitoring
Noise, dust, vibration and air quality sensors against consent limits, beside the activities and homes around them.
Asset condition and maintenance
Inspection grades and defect density across the estate, to prioritize interventions and forecast whole-life cost.
Carbon and sustainability
Embodied and operational carbon by project, asset or region, supporting PAS 2080 reporting.
Stakeholder engagement
Alignments, impact zones and land take in 3D on the real landscape, for clearer consultation and smoother consents.
Risk and constraints
Geotechnical, flood, utilities, heritage and land ownership layers from the Icon Map Catalog and your own data, to de-risk early design.
Portfolio and pipeline
Current schemes, bids and KPIs across a region, with progress clusters that drill from the portfolio to a single site.
Climate resilience
Future flood and heat scenarios over the asset base, to prioritize upgrades and protect long-term performance.
