BIM is a process that generates and manages building data throughout its lifecycle using 3D modeling software. BIM can incorporate up to 8 dimensions including 3D visualization, 4D scheduling, 5D cost estimation, 6D facilities management, 7D sustainability analysis, and 8D safety planning. Key advantages of BIM include increased productivity in design and construction through real-time collaboration and dynamic modeling. Proper implementation of BIM requires defining the level of detail at different project stages.

building data during its life cycle
• BIM uses three dimensional real time, dynamic building
modeling software to increase productivity in building
design and construction.

65. Dimensions of BIM
• BIM can go up to 8D which means that it is a 3D visualization of the
project (3D= visual). It facilitates programming and shows the
project evolution along with predictions (4D= time).
• It provides in real time all cost-data, so it is easy to draw an
accurate budget (5D= cost).
• The 6th dimension concerns facilities management (6D= operation)
• Then the model would also provide environmental impact analysis
and offer solutions to make it more energy-efficient (7D=
Sustainability).
• The 8th Dimension is about security on the project site: embedded
manuals, emergency plans. It prevents security issues, and so on
(8D= Safety).
