Building Information Modeling (BIM)
BIM is the process of generating and managing building data using three-dimensional, real-time, dynamic building modeling software (REVIT) to increase productivity in building design as well as construction.
Benefits of using BIM:
- BIM provides 'smart' 3D models of the project.
- It has the ability to calculate material quantities and properties, energy performance, lighting quality, site disturbance and 'what-if' scenarios.
- It can decrease errors and conflicts made during the design/construction document phase by the use of conflict detection and visualization.
- The cost savings by all members of the project as well as reduction in time to complete constriction can be significant.
- Owners will find BIM useful long after their project is completed because the BIM Files then act as an "owner's manual" for the building.
