The document discusses Building Information Modeling (BIM) and its potential benefits and challenges for the construction industry. BIM is a process that involves structured sharing and coordination of digital building information throughout the lifecycle. It can eliminate communication challenges and catalyze improvement. BIM is projected to reduce costs by up to 20%, improve sustainability, and increase efficiency. Potential benefits include faster processes, better design, cost control, and reduced change orders. However, adoption of new technology in construction has been slow and BIM faces challenges to widespread success.

CHALLENGES AND POTENTIAL

2. 01
Adoption of technology in construction has been slow but the
industry is becoming increasingly aware of BIM’s potential

Are you Aware
of BIM

4. Building Information Modelling (BIM)
A process involving the structured sharing and coordination of
digital information about a building thoughout the lifecycle
(Eastman, 2011)
Eliminates most of the communication-related delivery
challenges of the industry
The single well-coordinated process that could catalyze the
improvement of the construction industry

BIM Case Studies Data

8. 07
Specific Benefits to BIM Participants
Clients:
Better requirement due to enhanced communication with design team
Contractors:
Increased clarity in design intent, easy testing of design options, and easy distribution of design
documentation across the teams
Designers:
Access to better quality information for estimation and bidding, early involvement to contribute to
constructability and effective scheduling, and clash-free construction due to ability to simulate
before actual construction
Facilities Management:
enhanced quality of as-built and handing-over information, and easier integration into
computer-aided facilities management systems for
maintenance and post occupancy assessments
