Lets start with what BIM is NOT: • Software • File format • Just for buildings • Just automated drawing process • just a 3D Model • Organised collection of all building data • Yet Fully Matured
So what is BIM?! “Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a collaborative way of working, underpinned by the digital technologies which unlock more efficient methods of designing, creating and maintaining our assets…’’
- HM Government , Building information Modelling
BIM Benefits • Better design - Due to better decision making enabling development of more cost-effective and sustainable solutions.
• Prototype testing - Creation of a
virtual model allowing visualisation at early stages and testing of the prototype before it is built in the real world.
• Faster project delivery - Agreeing the design concept at early stages and avoiding clashes.
BIM Benefits • Reduced safety risks – The model
can be used by asset managers and contractors to reduce safety risks of both builders on site and end users.
• Reduced waste – Less waste is
produced due to less materials being ordered to site.
• Life cycle management – The
Model is rich information that assists with the commissioning, operation and maintenance activities.
