Why BIM over Traditional method of drafting?

What is BIM?
An intelligent3D model-based process, Building Information Modelling, or Building
Information Management BIM, provides insight and tools to AEC professionals so that they
can efficiently design buildings and infrastructure, while adding data (information) to the
models for use downstream. The BIM process involves the creation, evolution and
monitoring of digital representations of the physical and functional aspects of building
design. This process is enabled through the generation of BIM files containing large amounts
of data which can be viewed, changed or communicated to all stakeholders in a project. BIM
software can be used to design water, refuse, electricity, gas, communication utilities as well
as roads, bridges, tunnels, etc. The BIM process is not restricted to generating just 3D
models, but it may provide more dimensions, such as 4D (time), 5D (cost) and 6D (as-built
operation). Since the BIM process covers such a wide range of functions, its benefits are
many.
