Last week I attended a seminar on Building Information Modeling, better known as BIM. BIM is undoubtedly the future of the construction process. Basically it’s the process of generating and managing building data during its life cycle. It uses three-dimensional, real-time, dynamic building modeling software to increase productivity in building design and construction. The process produces the Building Information Model, which encompasses building geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, and quantities and properties of building components to name a few.
BIM has a number of cool features including:
- Design Visualization
- Carbon Footprint Analysis
- Energy Modeling / Environmental Analysis
- LEED Certification
- MEP
- Structural
- System Integration
- Generation of fully coordinated construction drawings
- 4D Time & Schedule
- 4D Virtual Modeling of buy prescription drugs online the Construction Process
- 5D Integration with Cost Estimation
- 6D Facilities & Asset Management
Check out the presentation below:
Are there any issues you see with BIM?
