The document outlines 10 key points about building information modeling (BIM):
1. BIM is a process, not just a technology, that is applied throughout construction from design to facilities management.
2. BIM uses various technology platforms to enable aspects like architectural modeling.
3. BIM has different implementation levels from 2D CAD to full integration of data through web services.
BIM results in significant benefits like reduced costs, improved quality, and better predictability for construction projects.
The Ultimate Glossary of BIM Terms You Should KnowUnited-BIM
The architectural, engineering and construction domain is fast evolving. With technologies like BIM acquiring a center stage, many industry professionals and stakeholders get confused about all the terms and jargon they keep on hearing.
In these slides, let’s look at some industry-specific terminology and special BIM terms you should know before you jump deeper into the world of Building Information Modeling (BIM).
Building Information Modeling is not a new concept in the AEC industry. In May 2011, the UK government released a futuristic construction strategy for a reduction in the cost of public sector assets. This strategy mandated construction vendors applying for government tenders to achieve BIM Level 2 to be considered. The strategy also pushed for the phased roll-out of BIM Level 3 on all centrally-procured projects by 2016.
BIM Dimensions Explained- 3D, 4D, 5D, 6D and 7D- Definition and BenefitsUnited-BIM
A BIM model can be utilized for pre-defined specific purposes, commonly known as use-cases. According to project stage requirements and project complexity, specific parameters are added to the existing information contained in BIM. These additions of pre-defined used cases can be described as BIM dimensions.
These dimensions enhance the data associated with a model to share a greater level of understanding of a construction project.
In the modern era, BIM technology has evolved from basic 3D & 4D dimensions to more sophisticated 5D, 6D & 7D dimensions that are poised to change the future of the AEC industry.
There are many definitions of BIM out there and all are accurate in most senses. BIM is an intelligent model-based process to create building model data that is essentially coordinated and computable and thus AEC professionals can more efficiently design, build and operate buildings and infrastructures. A true BIM model consists of the virtual equivalents of the actual building parts and pieces used to build a building which means a building can be “built” even before its physical realization through a virtual model.

Exploring BIM Dimensions: 3D, 4D, 5D, 6D, 7D, and 8D, Understanding the Different Dimensions of Building Information Modeling in Construction. Building Information Modeling (BIM) brought about a radical change in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sectors by providing 3D digital versions of reality. BIM's capabilities are more than just geometry. The 3D to 8D dimensions of BIM are excellent aspects that allow professionals to visualize not just the physical but also the temporal and cost stages, as well as the operations and management of the facility lifecycle, sustainability, and operation of the building. Every dimension (of data) allows for better decision-making and performance analysis during the project life cycle.
BIM means a multitude of things to a myriad of stakeholders, companies, and geographical locations, based on multiple factors.
However, from a holistic viewpoint, the meaning we append to and the expectations we have of BIM are not as important as the connection that BIM brings when properly deployed with cloud-based solutions; thus, filling so many inefficiency gaps.
This is the era of Connected Construction and there has been an increased need for remote collaboration across every industry.
For whatever reason you implement Digital Transformation in your practice, you will most likely reap more benefits in the long run, if you can collaborate and connect with the other stakeholders across your projects.
The Role of BIM in Modern Construction ProjectsTawwabKhan4
In the rapidly evolving landscape of modern construction, the integration of technology has become paramount for success. One such technological advancement that has revolutionised the industry is Building Information Modelling, commonly known as BIM. With its digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of buildings, BIM offers a transformative approach to construction projects.
In this article, we take a look at the significance of BIM, exploring its importance and the multiple levels or stages it encompasses. We will also uncover the role of precision engineering in constructing stronger and more sophisticated buildings.
Understanding the Power of BIM: A Digital Revolution in Construction
At its core, Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a digital representation of a building’s physical and functional attributes. It encompasses a wide range of information, including architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical details, all stored in a centralised database. This comprehensive model serves as a shared knowledge resource for all stakeholders involved in a construction project.
BIM is a game-changer in the construction industry due to its ability to enhance collaboration, improve communication, and streamline workflows.
Building Information Modeling(BIM) is a developing technology in Architectural,
Engineering & Construction industry today. It represents the use models to assist Designing,
Planning, the construction & Operation of Facility. It helps everyone from Owner to Supplier in
visualizing the facility as it is to be built & in identifying the challenges that would come forth in
building of that project. In this paper how BIM can be used in Facility Management &
Maintenance would be discussed how ever initially this paper puts light on the BIM technology
in construction Industry.

How to Create a Rock Star BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and MPDT* (Responsibility ...Fabio Roberti
A BIM Execution Plan (BEP) is a valuable and necessary part of any project in the AEC sector. It is essential when the team needs to work in a collaborative process to ensure that everyone on the project is aligned with the project objectives. A correctly implemented BEP will ensure the project goals are clear and agreed by the wide project team. Communication is a key component of all construction projects. To be successful, it requires many different people working together to achieve the client requirements. A well-built BEP requires the project team to work together and communicate from the very beginning to the completion of the project. This class will explain the importance of the BEP and demonstrate how to create an efficient BEP for post-contract-award which will include the Model Production & Delivery Table (MPDT). The post-contract-award BEP sets out how the information required in the Employer's Information Requirements will be provided.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

10 points and the benefits of bim
1. Here is my ten point interpretation of BIM...
1. Most importantly, BIM is not a technology. It is a process. This is possibly the most important
aspect to understand. BIM applies to all aspects of the construction of a building, from the design, the
estimating, the supply chain, the delivery of goods during the build, the build process, the resource
allocation, the productivity requirements to meet targets and on in to the post-handover phase
through Facilities and Asset Management.
2. Aspects of BIM are enabled through various technology platforms. There are several providers of
technology which supports architectural tools plus the addition of intelligent information against the
model. Examples include Autodesk Revit, Graphisoft ArchiCAD 17, 12d Model and Synchro
Professional.
3. BIM has several implementation levels:Level 0: CAD using drawings, lines, arcs, text, etc.
Level 1: 2D & 3D using models, objects plus file based collaboration
Level 2: BIMs plus file based collaboration and library management for models
and objects and
Level 3: iBIM, Lifestyle Management, common dictionaries, data and processes

2. underpinned by integrated and interoperable data through web services
Level 2 BIM is often seen as the minimum standard to achieve. These levels are also split in to A and
B, e.g. 2A and 2B which denotes the directionality of information sharing, i.e. one-way or multi-way.
Here are two diagrams explaining the differences:
Figure 2 -Adapted from CRC forConstruction Innovation 2009,p.13
Figure 3 -Source:M ark Brew and M ervyn Richards
4. Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) and COBie are standards used to share information. IFCs
describe building and construction industry data. It is a platform neutral, open file format developed by
buildingSMART to facilitate interoperability in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC)
industry. COBie is a data format for the publication of a subset of building model information focused
on delivering building information and not geometric modelling. It is closely associated with BIM and is
typically exchanged using XML. These formats enable BIM interoperability and all BIM software is

3. able to consume this information. Most are able to write it, enabling the sharing of information, even
at Level 2 BIM to be easily achieved. External software such as Safe Software Feature Manipulation
Engine (FME) is able to transform from IFC and COBie to other formats. This represents the
beginnings of full integration possibilities between BIM and GIS.
5. BIM is so much more than just a detailed 3D model of a building. The concept is most easily
explained by the term build 4 times which means build three times in the model and once on the
ground. The accuracy of the model combined with animations and fly-throughs allow contractors to
access the design layout before the build takes place and make alterations. This means that when
the build takes place, there are fewer errors and far less rework needed. This moves the construction
procurement process from design and build to design build by bringing the construction team in to the
design process rather than them simply having to respond to a tender for construction after the
design has been completed.
6. Parametric Modelling is a key principle of BIM. Essentially this means that everything in the model
is connected to everything else. If you move the location of a wall, the elements attached to the wall
also move. If you change the volume of a floor, the quantities of material needed to lay the floor alter.
If you move ducting in the ceiling, all aspects associated with the ducting update and conflicts are
highlighted. This is also true for BIMs that have been developed independently and brought together
in a collaborative BIM environment. This allows organisations who may be controlling different
elements of the build to benefit from one another as aspects of the model are altered through the
process. Change once, benefit many times.
7. The 'D' elements of BIM relate to the information associated with the model.
4D relates to scheduling information; when will an element be built. With this
information you can enable just-in-time (JIT) delivery of materials to site. This in
turn has an impact on transportation, making it more efficient, and reduces
storage issues as materials are delivered and immediately installed.
5D relates to the estimating and cost aspects of the building. Each element within
the building model has a cost associated with it. This allows for detailed analysis
to be done regarding budgets. It also allows the delivery team to make accurate
predictions regarding how much needs to be done at any given time in order to
meet the construction targets.
6D covers the sustainability targets for a building allowing information such as
energy use, sustainability from a materials and management point of view to be
understood and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) tracking
to be performed.
7D is the "as-built" BIM model which is important as part of the handover process
to the building owner. This model is a fundamental part of the ROI for BIM as it
provide accurate Facilities Management (FM) and Asset Management (AM). Each

4. part within the building will have a lifespan and in the event of replacement, the
easy identification of parts ensures that these processes may be performed
efficiently.
The outcomes from having this information are impressing detail regarding all aspects of the
construction project. By the very nature of the BIM model, this information is already there, you
simply have to ask for the output you need whether that is a financial plan or a resource plan.
Figure 4 -the levelsofBIM from bim porn.tum blr.com
8. BIM enables new procurement processes to take place which deliver certainty to all parties
involved. A typical process might look like this:
The design and construction teams are selected
The design work is done and is reviewed by the construction team and other
subject matter experts. This review identifies areas of rework.
This process iterates 2 more times, the result is the best possible design.
Generic objects may have been used for materials and/or equipment; these may
now be replaced by specific models conforming to the IFC classes with known
materials, costs and supply chain information associated with them. In this way,
the full cost of the building, the suppliers and supply chain costs of materials and
the installation methodology is known by everyone involved.
The work can now start on site using the BIM to direct the build. Technology
assists in the build by presenting the BIM information in the field as construction
takes place. JIT delivery of materials keeps building efficient.
9. Governments around the world are now realising the benefits of BIM, especially for large
construction funded with public money, and are beginning to mandate the use of BIM for these

5. projects. When has that ever happened for GIS? The effect of this is to seed the industry to change.
The reality is that the industry is moving this way anyway as they have already recognised the
advantage of using BIM. The issue has been the slow adoption of the client to realise the benefits of
the BIM approach – to the point that some are still rejecting the final as-built BIM model, considering it
an unnecessary cost rather than realising that it will reduce the AM/FM costs of running the building.
Given that government is often the client, it would appear that this is actually an internal issue
between government agencies or even roles with the same government agency that needs to be
resolved as quickly as possible.
The UK have appointed a "Head of BIM" within the Cabinet Office. David Philp's role is to accelerate
the adoption of BIM and mandate its use.
