Introduction

Over the past few years,

Building Information

Modelling has become

one of the hottest topics

in construction. Here are

three fundamentals:

Let’s be clear about BIM

BIM is a process

It holds vastly more

information than just

the 3D geometry.

BIM is global team work

It lets all users work

collaboratively, in real time.

The “I” is central to BIM

BIM is all about information;

how it‟s captured and how

it‟s made available.

So how to describe BIM?

Part people. Part process.

Part software. And

all collaboration.

The BIM boom:

2,600% growth in three years

In 2009, less than 10,000

BIM model files were

being managed on the

Aconex system. By late

2012, there were more

than 270,000 – some

2,600% growth.

The size of the models

has also nearly doubled

over the past five years.

Believe the hype:

Better projects with BIM

The promise of BIM:

Better lifecycle management

BIM brings full lifecycle

management within reach.

As information is passed

from team to team along

the phases of a project,

there is often information

“leakage”.

Collaborative BIM promises

to ensure that all information

is seamlessly transitioned

from one phase to another,

resulting in an asset with

a far richer set of information,

and of greater value.
