15. BIM is not CAD
“CAD helps people to draw. BIM helps people to construct.”
(Richard Saxon, Ecobuild, February 2009)
“BIM is not CAD. BIM was never meant to be CAD. CAD is a
replacement for pen and paper, a documentation tool. By
comparison, BIM programs are design applications in which the
documentation flows from and is a derivative of the process, from
schematic design to construction to facility management.” (Pete
Zyskowski, Cadalyst)
25. B
The “Building” is unhelpful as
people start to think of a
“building”. For people working in
infrastructure they may wonder
whether “BIM” is relevant
BIM is as relevant to “Infrastructure” and Oil & Gas” as “ Buildings”.

27. WHAT IS BIM?
I
“Information” is a fundamental to BIM. In fact it is the flow and
sharing of structured information that is the central philosophy
of BIM.
28. M
There is even a debate as to whether “M” should
be for “Modeling” or for “Management”
The danger with using “Modeling” is that people
start to think purely in terms of a (CAD) model.

71. ✓ All project partners – uses
a single, shared 3D model,
cultivating collaborative
working relationships.
✓ This ensures everyone is
focused on achieving best
value, from project
inception to eventual
decommissioning.
Better outcomes through collaboration
78. Benefits of 5D BIM :-
• Understand the scope of the projects in a superior manner with visual and data modeling capabilities. The costs are driven by
formulas on every building system on the basis of the certain design, materials, site conditions, phasing and other parameters with
reference to the owner’s timeline.
• The project team members will be able to easily understand the projected design, assumptions and cost drivers. They can obtain a
transparent and perfect description of scope, cost and schedule upon which funding decisions are taken.
• Data is achieved in real time once the model is developed or modified. Substitute perceptions can also be easily searched, when owner
and project team can get the cost and other data disclosed instantly. It radically reduces design and estimation cycle time. With
authentic, perfect updates in real time, the efficiency is enhanced.
• Databases allow leveraging historical data as well as industry experience. Data can be utilized from particular sectors like healthcare or
distribution center construction.
• All the interested parties associated with the project can visualize the end product and properly understand what’s comprised in the
budget.
• The construction costs are modified automatically in real-time with the alteration in the model. “What-if’s” turns to be productive
and captivating solution missions for the project team members, specifically the owner.
5D
79. ✓ Agreeing the design concept early in project development to
eliminate late stage design changes;
✓ Using standard design elements when practicable;
✓ Resolving complex construction details before the project
goes on site;
✓ Avoiding clashes;
✓ Taking advantage of intelligence and automation within the
model to check design integrity and estimate quantities;
✓ Producing fabrication and construction drawings from the
model; and Using data to control construction equipment.
TIME CONTROL
82. ✓ BIM makes possible swift and accurate
comparison of different design options.
➢ enabling development of more efficient,
cost-effective and sustainable solutions.
Enhanced & optimized performance
83. Fits first time ✓ Integrating multidisciplinary design inputs using a single 3D
model allows
➢ interface issues to be identified and resolved in advance
of construction
➢ eliminating the cost and time impacts of redesign.
✓ The model also enables new and existing assets to be
integrated seamlessly.
85. ▶ Through deployment of new
generative modeling technologies,
solutions can be cost-effectively
optimized against agreed
parameters.
Optimized solutions
86. ✓ Crowd behavior and fire modeling
capability enable designs to be optimized
for public safety.
➢ Asset managers can use the 3D
model to enhance operational
safety.
➢ Contractors can minimize
construction risks by reviewing
complex details or procedures before
going on site.
Reduced safety risk
88. Safety: BIM-based Safety Planning -
Site Layout Planning Optimise site layout plan by
examination of the location of material storage area,
machinery location, movement of machinery, access
way, impact to site surroundings, etc.
89.
90.
91. Greater predictability
✓ Projects can be visualized at an early stage - giving owners and operators a clear idea of design
intent and allowing them to modify the design to achieve the outcomes they want.
✓ In advance of construction, BIM also enables the project team to ‘build’ the project in a virtual
environment, rehearsing complex procedures, optimizing temporary works designs and planning
procurement of material, equipment and manpower.
92. BIM-based Safety Management Plan
Safety management could form a
part of BIM-based construction
procedures. BIM solutions can
include construction process data
such as activities and their logic –
also widely called 4D models –
additional dimension: time.
93. Safety: BIM-based Safety
Planning - Crane Reach and
Risk Zone
(i) BIM-based site planning to
check crane reach and
capability in construction
works.
(ii) Examine risks in case of
load fall.
(iii) Evaluate what the crane
jib could hit.
(iv) The significant of this kind
of examination increase if
there is limited space around
the construction site and
clashes become possible.
100. In January 2014, the European
Parliament approved a directive for
public sector procurement that
encourages public authorities to
consider using BIM in public works
In 2011, the UK Government has
mandated BIM delivery from 2016
onwards on all public sector projects.
BIM MANDATING
101. Since 2006, the General Services Administration (GSA) mandated the
use of BIM for federal buildings
Since 2008, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requires the use of BIM
for all military construction projects.

105. Robotics, AI, and the Internet of Things
• can reduce building costs by up to 20 percent.
• Engineers can do virtual reality goggles and
send mini-robots into buildings under
construction.
These robots use cameras to track the work as
it progresses.
• AI is being used to plan the routing of
electrical and plumbing systems in modern
buildings.
• Companies are using AI to develop safety
systems for worksites.
• AI is being used to track the real-time
• AI will alter business models in the
construction industry, reduce expensive
errors, reduce worksite injuries, and make
building operations more efficient.
• Leaders at construction companies should
prioritize investment based on areas where
AI can have the most impact on their
company’s unique needs.

107. Artificial intelligence
Software algorithms capable of performing tasks that normally require human
intelligence (thought processes and senses ) and automating complex
decision-making tasks .
for example (speech recognition, decision-making and language translation,
problem-solving, pattern recognition).
(AI) is not a monolithic technology.
AI is an umbrella concept that covers subfields such as machine learning, can teach
itself to learn, understand, reason, plan, and act when exposed to new data.
— for example, hospitals using a library of scanned images to quickly and accurately
detect and diagnose cancer;
insurance companies digitally and automatically recognizing and assessing car
damage;
or security companies trading clunky typed passwords for voice recognition.

110. Internet of things (IoT)
A term to describe a network of objects – devices, vehicles, etc.
– embedded with
sensors,
software,
network connectivity
and compute capability,
that can collect and exchange data over the Internet.
usually without human intervention
IoT augments people, places, processes, and products
with sensors to capture and analyze information across a value
chain, advancing the goals of the City.
According to McKinsey & Company, the Internet of Things could
add up to $11.1 trillion to the global economy by 2025.
111.
112. Augmented reality
Augmented reality (AR): the addition of
information or visuals to the physical world,
via graphics and/or audio overlay,
to improve the user experience.
This real world “augmentation” is achieved
through devices that render and display
information.

118. Virtual reality
computer-generated simulation of a
three-dimensional image or a complete
environment within a defined space
that viewers can interact with
in realistic ways.
VR typically requires equipment, such as a
headset.
(VR) abolishes logistical limitations and makes anything possible.
The gaming and entertainment industries are obvious proving grounds for VR.
However, VR has the potential to transform many other industries as well,
especially in the realm of experiential training where workers can be put into
hazardous, difficult, or cost-prohibitive situations without the intense risks associated
with these activities in the real world.

121. Robotics
Electro-mechanical machines or virtual agents
that
automate,
augment or assist human activities
autonomously or according to set instructions –
often a computer program.
These applications are transforming
manufacturing and non-manufacturing
operations
with new capabilities that address the challenges
of working in changing, uncertain, and
uncontrolled environments,
such as alongside humans without being a
danger to them.
122.
123. Blockchain
A distributed electronic ledger that
uses algorithms to record transactions reliably
and anonymously.
Records are shared between parties,
and information, once entered, cannot be
altered as the downstream chain reinforces
upstream transactions.
124. 3-D printing creates three-dimensional objects
based on digital models by layering or “printing”
successive layers of materials.
3-D printing relies on innovative “inks,” including
plastic, metal, and, more recently, glass and wood.
3-D printing has the potential to turn every large
enterprise, small business and living room into a
factory.
3-D printing
126. BIM FOR CONSTRUCTION – 3D PRINTING
3D printing is a process of
creating a three-dimensional
object from a digital file by
layering successive slices.
This could be achieved by
extruding small amounts of
molten plastic or using a
laser to fuse together tiny
particles of powdered
material. It is also on
ceramics and metals.
