1. BIM INITIATION CONCEPT

What is BIM?

Building information modeling (BIM) is a

process involving the generation and
management of digital representations of
physical and functional characteristics of
places.
‘Rehearsal – putting real work objects into
virtual world, test before you build.’
1. BIM INITIATION CAD VS BIM

CAD BIM
Variety of Industries Exclusively for Building
2D Lines 3D Components
Text/ Labels as Information Built-in as
Information Parameters
Separate Drawings Drawings Generated
from Same Source

True BIM – Single Source of Truth (SSOT)

4. DIGITAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT COMMON DATA ENVIRONMENT (CDE)

Traditional Information Sharing CDE

4. DIGITAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT COMMON DATA ENVIRONMENT (CDE)

 CLIENT SHARE AREA

 WIP (Work in progress) store
unapproved information
 SHARED approved for sharing
with other organizations
 PUBLISH information for all
discipline to review
 ARCHIVE history from design to
completion of project

 SSOT with record of date and

author

ADVANTAGES:
 Change can be recorded
with time and author
 Markup can be recorded
on CDE
 Different devices can
access
 Submission Tracking
4. DIGITAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT DATA QUALITY CONTROL

Quality Assurance
