BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING

2. BIM is an acronym for Building Information Modeling or
Building Information Management.
It is a highly collaborative process that allows architects,
engineers, real estate developers, contractors,
manufacturers, and other construction professionals to
plan, design, and construct a structure or building within
one 3D model.
It can also span into the operation and management of
buildings using data that building or structure owners
have access to
WHAT IS BIM ?

3. BIM objects, the components that make up a BIM model,
are intelligent, have geometry, and store data.
If any element is changed, BIM software updates the
model to reflect that change.
This allows the model to remain consistent and
coordinated throughout the entire process so that
structural engineers, architects, MEP engineers, designers,
project managers, and contractors can work in a more
collaborative environment.

A building information model can be used throughout a project lifecycle to
bring clarity and efficiency into a building's construction:

6. BIM LEVELS
LEVEL 0 BIM
LEVEL 2 BIM LEVEL 3 BIM
LEVEL 1 BIM

7. BIM LEVELS
L E V E L 0 B I M
Level 0 refers to no
collaboration whatsoever.
This level is generally in
operation when using 2D
CAD and working with
drawings/digital prints.
L E V E L 1 B I M
Level 1 usually means that
3D CAD is being used for
concept work, while 2D
CAD is used for drafting
production information. A
large number of firms are
at level 1 which doesn’t
tend to involve much
collaboration with each
stakeholder publishing
and managing their own
data.
L E V E L 2 B I M
At level 2, all parties
involved utilise 3D CAD
models, and the way
stakeholders exchange
their data varies from
other levels.
Information is shared
through a common file
format, and all firms
involved combine this
with their own data. This
saves time, costs, and
reduces the need for
rework.
L E V E L 3 B I M
Level 3 means that
everyone on the project
uses one, shared project
model instead of working
on their own 3D model
independently. This
makes it the most
collaborative level among
the first 4. This ‘open BIM’
approach exists in a
central environment
making it easily accessible
and editable by everyone.

9. APPLICATION OF BIM
Visualization: 3D renderings can be easily generated in house with little additional effort.
Fabrication/shop drawings: It is easy to generate shop drawings for various building systems.
For example, the sheet metal ductwork shop drawings can be quickly produced once the
model is complete.
Code reviews: Fire departments and other officials may use these models for their review of
building projects.
Cost estimating: BIM software has built-in cost estimating features. Material quantities are
automatically extracted and updated when any changes are made in the model.
Construction sequencing: A building information model can be effectively used to coordinate
material ordering, fabrication, and delivery schedules for all building components.

10. APPLICATION OF BIM
Conflict, interference, and collision detection: Because building information models are
created to scale in 3D space, all major systems can be instantly and automatically checked
for interferences. For example, this process can verify that piping does not intersect with
steel beams, ducts, or walls.
Forensic analysis: A building information model can be easily adapted to graphically
illustrate potential failures, leaks, evacuation plans, and so forth.
Facilities management: Facilities management departments can use it for renovations,
space planning, and maintenance operations.
