What is BIM?
 Building INFORMATION Modelling

Full of information
What kind of info?

Components Drafting information

Ex: column, wall, Ex: Hatch, Lineweights,
door, window etc Scales, Renderings

Materials
Ex: Wall-brick, Quantitative data
Plaster-gypsum Ex: material price,
Window Panel -glass Component quantity,
So why BIM?

We design in sketchup for its 3D Drafting in CAD

Design in 3D and you’ll get

Drawings in 1 software plus
Renderings.
THE DATA/INFORMATION THAT WE CREATED CAN BE USED THROUGHOUT
ALL PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTION
