3. What is BIM ?
BIM is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility
BIM is often associated with 3D CAD Models by Architects & Engineers
but BIM is not a software product.
BIM affects the whole project ‘life-cycle’ i.e. from inception to demolition
BIM is a way of structuring information digitally for use in design,
construction maintenance and management of building & other facilities
BIM is a Building Information Modeling
4. Problems owners face
30% of
construction
cost is rework
Over 60% of major capital
programs fail to meet cost
and schedule targets
55% of maintenance
remains reactive
5. BIM Advantages
Direct 3d modeling
BIM
BOQ and Cost Estimation
Accuracy and reliability
Volumetric study
Solar study and shadow
analysis
Construction Document
Generation Prefabrication Structural Detailing
Service Planning MEP
