What Is BIM?

Transform business value with BIM

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is changing how buildings, infrastructure, and utilities are planned, designed, built, and managed. BIM solutions help turn information into insight and deliver business value at every step in the process.

What is BIM?

BIM is a process that involves creating and using an intelligent 3D model to inform and communicate project decisions. Design, visualization, simulation, and collaboration enabled BIM solutions provide greater clarity for all stakeholders across the project life cycle. BIM makes it easier to achieve project and business goals.

 

Building: Why is "Building" included in the BIM solution?

It refers to the industry to which this solution belongs. it sets your mind that it is related to the Engineering and construction world industry which move about 92 financial sectors. it involves the artifact  that are created by human beings.

Information: Why is "information" included in the BIM solution?

An artifact designer must consider some data to deliver, in order to guide the stakeholders to understand what his/her intentions are in terms of material culture, building purpose, function and embedded design meanings. the more accurate and precise the data provided by the designer for the stakeholders , the more this reduce the gap between the perceptual meaning and the associative meaning.

Make sure to understand what i have just said. do not read any further without understanding the above statements. hf you still can not handle understanding it after rereading it, the next figure is exactly what "Information" is all about in its simplest form. This figure describes, comprehensively, the information needed about building in its all life cycle phases.

  

Modeling: Why " Modeling" included in the BIM solution ?

This is key concept that gathers the building information all together. it is all about creating a model that  provides data and information about the building components and elements. this is way more advanced of  a concept comparing to the tedious creation of 2d graphical representations of lines and shapes that the traditional documentation software is based on.
