WHAT IS BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING (BIM)?
WHAT IS BIM?
“Building” = Built asset. Example -
building, bridge, highway, tunnel, infrastructure
services and other construction projects.

“Information” = data generated from

concept to completion. Example - geometric data,
spatial relation of elements, light analysis, geographic
data, quantities, project schedules, O&M data, etc.

“Modeling” = A digital
representation of the building information
WHY TO MANAGE INFORMATION?

WHAT IS BIM?
A collaborative method that

uses 3Ddigital models of a

project to capture

information and data relevant

to its lifecycle and
communicate between
stakeholders.
OPEN BIM AND CLOSED BIM
❑Little BIM
❑ BIM model was created but not shared with others

❑BIM BIM
❑BIM Model based coordination between all disciplines

❑ Open BIM
❑ use of different software programs
❑ information is shared with uniform interface IFC

❑Closed BIM
❑Use of single native format
BIM USES

BIM USES

Managing Information with smart 3D Modeling Model-based BOQ Asset Management for O&M

Visualization of construction City Management with BIM

Multi-discipline Design Coordination
Time Schedule and GIS Integration
BIM BENEFITS
❑ Reduces Rework
❑ Reduces Errors
❑ Improves Productivity
❑ Reduces conflicts and changes during construction
❑ Better coordination – reduces disputes
❑ Better service to clients – More Business
❑ Project Outcome: Time saving – Cost Saving – Better Quality
BIM AROUND THE GLOBE
STEPS TOWARDS BIM
Level 0 = 2D CAD drafting, Output and
distribution is via paper or electronic
prints, or a mixture of both

Level 1 = 3D CAD for concept

work/visualizations and 2D for drafting
of approval documentation

Level 2 = Collaborative working -

all parties use their own 3D BIM models,
but not necessarily working on a single,
shared model. Design information is
shared through a common file format.

Level 3 = Full collaboration between all

disciplines by means of using a single,
shared project model (Technologically,
still difficult to achieve)
