Application of Building Information

Modeling(BIM) in the Construction

How People Design and Plan Buildings

 First there was pencil and paper

How People Design and Plan Buildings

 Then Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) was developed

How People Design and Plan Buildings

 Then 3D Modeling
Building Information Modeling (BIM)
What is BIM?
 Software?
 3D Model of Building?
 Collection and organizing of Building Data?
 Process of Designing, Planning, Construction and Management?
 Collaboration between Architects, Engineers, Contractors and
Clients

BIM is all of the above and more……

BIM is a digital prototype of the actual project

What is BIM?
 Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an
intelligent 3D model-based process that equips
architecture, engineering, and construction
professionals with the insight and tools to more
efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage
buildings and infrastructure.
