What is BIM BIM makes a good digital image of the building designed for design decision making, high-quality construction document production, construction planning, and performance predictions, and cost estimates. BIM Services provides the potential for a virtual information model to be handed from Design Team (architects, surveyors, consulting engineers, and others) to Contractor and Subcontractors and then to the Owner, each adding their particular additional discipline-specific knowledge and tracking of changes to the single model. The end result is anticipated to help reduce the data loss that occurs whenever a new team takes "ownership" of the project along with in delivering extensive information to owners of complex structures far beyond that which they have been currently accustomed to having. BIM Services are revolutionizing the AEC industry by virtual construction of the project even before moving to the construction site. bim is used for the integrated building life including the facility operation, maintenance and cycle. What is BIM and Benefits of BIM Services · Coordination with different aspects of the building lifecycle to analyze conflicts, recognize and expel. · High quality and accurate documentation of construction process. · Minimize building lifecycle to increase interaction between Architects, Contractors and Engineers · Enables pre-fabrication of different aspects of the construction to minimize design lifecycle · Cutting project cost my eliminating waste of construction material. · Improved construction management. · Produces accurate quantity take-offs. BIM Services supply a platform for a simultaneous design process and a


unique work place structure that fosters collaborative development and a highly step-by-step design process leading to a far more cost-effective project.

Why BIM is very important As because 3D objects are machine readable, spatial conflicts in a building model can be checked automatically. Because of this capability, at the design and shop drawing levels, errors and change orders due to internal errors are reduced greatly. But the larger implications are not consistent drawings and clash detection just. Because building models are machine readable, it becomes practical to use that data in many different ways: to build bills of material - that can be used for cost estimation or automatic ordering and tracking, for energy, lighting, acoustic or other analyzes - not as post facto checking if an nearly finished design is "OK", but to provide feedback while designing rather, informing the designer of the effects of changes. Building models permit better integration of many processes Thus, allowing the kind of control and tracking that computers allow in manufacturing and your local grocery or department store, tracking every item from creation to delivery. Most of the uses of BIM data are waiting to be developed and discovered. Can it Become Standard? BIM tools are as different from CADD tools as different from a set of toy soldiers to a battle-oriented cd. BIM supports on-line simulation of a design, on-line simulation of construction - called 4D CAD. The BIM processes provide better building products at lower costs to the master. Early case studies show these benefits by users that have applied BIM well. It's going to certainly become the standard for construction within the majority of our lifetimes.
