Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an innovative approach to building design, construction, and management that uses a 3D model to capture consistent and coordinated planning, design, construction, and operational data. This provides greater project insight for cost, schedule, and constructability compared to traditional 2D documentation. BIM aims to address problems in the construction industry such as 30% of construction costs going to rework and over 60% of major capital programs failing to meet cost and schedule targets. Typical BIM deliverables include site, architectural, structural, and MEP models at various stages for purposes such as coordination, cost estimation, and as-built documentation.

Building Information Modeling is an innovative
approach to building design, construction and
management that is characterized by the
continuous availability of highly accurate,
consistent and reliable building information.

3. BIM needs to the project
team to visualize,
simulate, and analyze a
project before
construction even begins
using a three
dimensional model
representing all of the
physical and functional
characteristics of a
facility.

4. Problems
30% of
construction
cost is
rework
Over 60% of major
capital programs fail to
meet cost
and schedule targets
55% of
maintenance
remains
reactive

6. Uses 3D models
to capture,
explore, and
maintain
consistent and
coordinated
planning, design,
construction, and
operational data
Provides greater
project insight for
cost, schedule,
and
constructability
Uses and shares
the same
consistent data
whether you’re at
your desk or in the
field
Enables prompt
response to
change with
processes that are
smarter and faster

7. Typical Deliverables
 Site model
 Architectural, structural, MEP models For regulatory
submissions o For coordination and / or clash detection
analysis o For visualization o For cost estimation
 Schedule (material, time etc) and phasing program (in BIM
or spreadsheet)
 Construction and fabrication models
 As-built model (in native proprietary or open formats)
 Data for facility management
 Cost Analysis
 Other additional value-added BIM services

8. BENEFITS OF BIM
 Owners, designers and engineers get lower net costs
and risks
 First responders can make buildings safer
 Efficient monitoring lowers operating costs
 Better views of facilities lead to better decisions
 Realtors, appraisers, and bankers save money
 Regulations compliance costs are lower
 Subcontractors' costs and risks are reduced
Case study:
The Beck Group created 100 visualizations for a church in Seoul and adjusted
the shape of the building to appear curved, but with flat glass, saving over $1
million on glazing and mullions, and 1,000 hours of design time.

10. When you design a building using [BIM] you
create an intelligent data model of the building
that can be used more effectively than standard
two-dimensional documents.
When you provide Building Product Models you
offer intelligent representations of your products
that are more valuable to your customers than
traditional product information which can provide
a competitive edge and help you get specified.
