Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process for creating and managing information on a construction project across the project lifecycle. It involves creating a virtual 3D model of a building that contains both geometric and nongraphic data. Key benefits of BIM include improved design coordination, reduced construction conflicts and waste, more accurate cost estimation, and better project outcomes. BIM involves integrating parametric object-oriented building components within a 3D model and sharing this information collaboratively between stakeholders in a digital format. It allows for clash detection and simulations to optimize construction planning and operations.

8. What is BIM ?
• Building Information Modeling is about
creating and using a 3D, intelligent model for
planning, designing, building and managing
infrastructure.
Continuity
Agility
Clarity

9. What is BIM ?
• Multiple models into composite model

10. What is BIM ?
• 3D Model
• Information rich
• Intelligent objects
• Parametric data
• Data sharing-Cloud
• Clash detection
• Pre Fabrication
• Integrated Process
• Collaborative
working

11. Why we need BIM?
• 2D Environment / 3D world
• Traditional problems
• Sustainable design and energy performance
compliance
• Waste within construction
• New technology
• Best practice

12. History & Evolution of BIM
• Introduced by Autodesk in 2002, the term
building information modeling (BIM)

13. Design, Build, Operate

15. Info that Could Be Included in BIM
 Planning scenarios and site information
 Architectural Program
 Floor plans
 Space Functions
 Classified areas, vaults etc.
 Area calculations
 Specifications
 Contract documents
 Legal description
 Change orders
 Supporting documentation for litigation
 Shop drawings
 Procurement documents
 Progress photographs
 Alarm diagrams
 Warranty data
 Cost Estimates
 Invoices
 Purchases requests
 Organizational occupants
 Personnel lists
 Seating plans
 Handicap designation
 Network diagrams
 Hazardous materials
 Operating manuals
 Maintenance records
 Inspection records
 Electronic 3d model
 Simulations
 Continuation of operations plan
 Disaster Recovery Plans
 Contingency plans
 Furniture inventory

17. Who uses BIM?

18. A BIM centric Approach Delivers :
• Automation of design and construction
documentation and deliverables
• Multiple design iterations informed by detailed
analysis and simulation
• Sustainable design and energy regulation
compliance
• Realistic, compelling visualizations including
images and animations
• Construction site simulation and management
• Accurate quantity take off and planning

19. The Real Value Of Model Based Design

20. BIM Advantages
General Benefits
• Enhanced Design
• Greater Productivity
• Improved Delivery

Construction
Benefits
• Pre-construction
assessment
• Fewer field
coordination issues
• Quantity/cost
tracking
improvements
Greater potential for
off-site fabrication
• Reduce Risk

21. •20% reduction in build costs (buy 4, get one free!)
•33% reduction is costs over the lifetime of the building
•47% to 65% reduction in conflicts and re-work during construction
•44% to 59% increase in the overall project quality
•35% to 43% reduction in risk, better predictability of outcomes
•34% to 40% better performing completed infrastructure
•
•32% to 38% improvement in review and approval cycles
How BIM affects project:

22. BIM combination of softwares:
• Autodesk
– Revit
– Autocad
– Navisworks
• Graphisoft
– Archicad
• Tekla structures
• Vector Work
• Bently
– Bently
Architecture
– RAM Steel
• Google
– Sketchup

25. Eg. Of BIM benefits (NMT-Kelly Hall )

26. Duct near Grid D4 appears to
be going through a beam

27. Move unit so that coresponding duct work does not go
through the ceiling of the 2nd floor corridor or Director’s
office

29. Conclusion
• Industry needs to establish a clear best
practice with BIM
• Real risk that not having BIM experience could
exclude you from future projects
• The introduction of BIM is not about the
adoption of any software; it is probably the
most significant operational change process
you will ever make

30. End Semester Topics
• How to implement BIM and its process?
• Problems related to BIM enabling
• BIM in India
• BIM case studies
