The document defines BIM (Building Information Modeling) and provides its history and benefits. BIM is a technology that creates a digital representation of a building containing information and properties of its physical and functional characteristics. This allows for simulation of construction phases and integration of 3D, 4D (time), and 5D (cost) modeling. The concept originated in the 1960s but computers were not powerful enough to handle large data until recent developments. BIM provides benefits like accurate modeling, time/cost savings, improved visualization and coordination between designs. Governments can play a role in mandating its use for public projects.

Modular Construction consists of one or more structure units fabricated in a
manufacturing plant away from the jobsite. In the building industry, prefabricated
modules are normally completed with trim work, electrical, mechanical and plumbing
installed. Previous studies have proved that Modular Construction provided many
advantages to the built environment, including the reduction of need for workforce,
the reduction of onsite Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, and the improvement of
construction schedule and product quality; however the extensive demand of pre-
project planning and coordination among members of cross-interdisciplinary
professionals have significantly impeded the application of this technique. With the
recent development of Building Information Modeling (BIM), these challenges could
be overcome through the BIM platform. Through case studies the benefits and
challenges of implementing BIM in modular construction are clearly identified.
Keywords: Building Information Modeling, Coordination, Prefabrication,
Building Systems.
Introduction
Modular construction refers to factory-built building units completely assembled or
fabricated in a manufacturing plant away from the jobsite, then transported and
assembled on site (Pasquire, 2002). Modular building normally consists of multiple
rooms with three-dimensional units, which are constructed and pre-assembled
complete with trim work, mechanical, electrical and plumbing components installed
(O’Brien, 2000). A large portion of construction research conducted in the United
States and globally discusses that the use of modular construction provides many
significant advantages, including: 1) the reduction of overall project schedules, 2) the
improvement of product quality, 3) increased ons.
Exploring BIM Dimensions: 3D, 4D, 5D, 6D, 7D, and 8D, Understanding the Different Dimensions of Building Information Modeling in Construction. Building Information Modeling (BIM) brought about a radical change in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sectors by providing 3D digital versions of reality. BIM's capabilities are more than just geometry. The 3D to 8D dimensions of BIM are excellent aspects that allow professionals to visualize not just the physical but also the temporal and cost stages, as well as the operations and management of the facility lifecycle, sustainability, and operation of the building. Every dimension (of data) allows for better decision-making and performance analysis during the project life cycle.
Introduction to the Building Information Modeling: Definitions, History, Timeline, Stakeholders, BIM Dimensions, Level of Development, Formats of BIM, and Limitations of Building Information Modeling.
The Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a technology that is rapidly gaining popularity in the world of of Architecture Engineering and Construction. This presentation shows a complete history of the BIM and highlights its applications during Building Life Cycle and finally provides its advantages and limitations.
BIM modeling can be used by anyone in the AEC Industry. It is the future of the sector. It has been seen that 3D BIM models of 3D buildings have been highly reliable by both large and small companies in recent years. BIM (Building Information Modeling) is an intelligent technology tool that creates three-dimensional models of buildings for different purposes. BIM modeling services are a popular tool among architects, engineers, and contractors.

BIM means a multitude of things to a myriad of stakeholders, companies, and geographical locations, based on multiple factors.
However, from a holistic viewpoint, the meaning we append to and the expectations we have of BIM are not as important as the connection that BIM brings when properly deployed with cloud-based solutions; thus, filling so many inefficiency gaps.
This is the era of Connected Construction and there has been an increased need for remote collaboration across every industry.
For whatever reason you implement Digital Transformation in your practice, you will most likely reap more benefits in the long run, if you can collaborate and connect with the other stakeholders across your projects.

Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Detailed definition of BIM abbreviation
BIM is a technology based on merging characterization and modeling process with the
building form. It is a shortcut to Building Information Modeling that means designing a
building model that includes all of its information and data. The meaning of a model here
goes beyond the concept of building a mere three-dimensional model. The model of the
building in the BIM technology means creating a simulation and characterization of all
phases of its construction and it includes its construction as a three-dimensional model
(3D) with its properties which can be entered, and also includes the time factor (4D) and
the cost factor (5D) .... And other factors that go beyond its being just a three-
dimensional model.
Modeling.العناصر لخصائص حي وتوصيف المرفقة للمعلومات مرئي نموذج وتعني :
The abbreviation BIM stands for the following:
Building: It means all kinds of buildings such as schools, houses, factories and towers,
including roads, bridges and other facilities. This word also means the process of
building, not just the building only.
Information: means availability of information and data about the building type and all
its elements. Each element has its own information that we can program to definite this
element in these programs and identify it through.
Modeling: means a visual model of the attached information and a live description of the
properties of the elements.
The History of the BIM concept:
The concept of BIM is not recent, it appeared for the first time in 1962 by the American
engineer Douglas C. Englebart when he said (the architect next begins to enter a series
of specifications and data: a six-inch slab floor, twelve-inch concrete walls eight feet high
within the excavation, and so on. when he has finished, the revised scene appears on
the screen. A structure is taking shape. He examines it and adjusts it. The lists grow into
an ever more-detailed, interlinked structure, which represents the maturing thought
behind the actual design.) Douglas developed the principle of integrating information into
a single structure, not segregating them as most of the scientific disciplines followed
later to specialize in various fields and not only in construction field.
2. BIMarabia – Omar Selim
Douglas was researching the interaction relation between the man and the computer,
making use of it to make the world a better place, not about BIM precisely and it is
helpful to mention here that Dr. Engelpert is the official inventor of the computer mouse!
Which are used today by Billions as the main tool to interact with the computers and
gives BIM a big push ahead.
This concept emerged again in the 1970s in a scientific article by Van Niedervin et al.,
and was developed by many researchers such as Herbert Simon, Nicholas
Negroponte and Ian McHarg.
One of the most prominent authors on the theory of BIM is Charles Eastman, especially
his book (BIM handbook) and his article (The use of computers instead of drawings
in building design) which was published in 1975 and he spoke about the Building
Description System (BDS).
He spoke about the parameters, how to generate two-dimensional shapes from 3D
models, how this system will affect the inventory and strongly criticized making each
drawing separate from the other.
3. BIMarabia – Omar Selim
In 1977, Charles Eastman worked on the GLIDE project (official language of interactive
design) at Carnegie Mellon University and the features of BIM began to appear.
The term of Building Information Modeling was documented by Van Nederveen G. A.
and Tolman F. in the book (Modeling Multiple Views on Buildings) in 1992.
Although the theory is old but the computers were not powerful enough and they could
not handle this amount of data. When these computers developed, there was a
significant development in cost saving, such as the cost of modification, and a reduction
in the time schedule by resolving conflict problems before the actual implementation
begins.
GRAPHISOFT Company used the term of Virtual Building; the first model to be fully built
with the BIM system was in favor of it and was represented by ArchiCAD in 1987.
A 1984 image was from inside Graphisoft of Radar CH program which was named later
ArchiCAD.
Bentley Systems Company used the term of Integrated Project Models but Autodesk
Company used the term of Building Information Modeling which is widespread and
4. BIMarabia – Omar Selim
currently used.
Autodesk program was AutoCAD Architecture in 1998
Purchase of Revit in 2002 for $ 133 million was a significant development for Autodesk
and also a development for Revit and Autodesk possibilities enabled Revit to do more
researches.
Comparisonbetweenthe BIM systemand the CAD system:
The abbreviation of CAD system stands for Computer Aided Design. It is a process
based mainly on preparing of computer-aided design drawings which is dealt with by
drawing lines no more. The programs that use this system cannot identify the elements
because these programs consider the elements as lines so we have to draw all the plans
to show a specific element and this is eliminated by the BIM system, because BIM deals
with the elements separately; the model is done by specifying its elements rather than by
drawing its lines. And so the results are amazing where all plans, sections and even a
three-dimensional model are created easily to define every element and not draw it more
than once in different plans.
When we want to make a change to one of the building elements, it requires us to
redraw the change in all plans, elevations, detailed sections and other views if we use
the CAD technique (it is a purely drawing technique, which means they are just lines
whose function cannot be determined and physical properties cannot be added to).
Building Information Modeling provides us with a complete library of three-dimensional
elements for physical representation of the building. In essence, BIM is a practical way
of constructing the building before it is actually implemented. It is a digital representation
of the physical and functional characteristics of the building and creating a model using
BIM is quite different from drawing 2D and 3D (as in CAD). When a BIM model of a
building is created, we rely on using intelligent elements, thus its difference from a CAD
model is almost radical. As an example, we can define a wall in the BIM system in terms
of its thickness, its constituent layers and material of each layer, and we can also make
a complete inventory of these layers and another of the wall as a whole, and deduct
5. BIMarabia – Omar Selim
places of doors and windows of its total area ... and other data and results which are
difficult to provide them in the CAD environment.
By comparison, building a project by BIM system takes more time than the CAD system
in the beginning, but defining the properties of each element from the beginning will save
a great deal of time during extracting all documents necessary to execute and
accomplish the project, unlike the CAD system.
Because everything has advantage and disadvantage, when the experts discovered
faults of the CAD system, they thought and invented the concept of BIM. For example,
CAD has many faults such as not detecting faults of drawing and problems except at the
time of implementation, and difficulty of resolving clashes during implementation
because it does not distinguishes between lines of architecture and lines of air
conditioning, for example.
6. BIMarabia – Omar Selim
ComparisonbetweenBIM programs and 3D MAX program:
The 3DMax program is one of the most powerful rendering programs, but it does not
provide features such as enormous features of BIM system. It deals with a group of
engineering masses, provides relationship between them, allocates materials to them
and controls how these materials are properly presented to the client. in other words, the
3D MAX program and similar rendering programs does not provide us with tools to
define physical and functional properties of these masses, and therefore lacks the most
important distinguishing feature of the BIM system which is possibility of defining
elements through their properties. In order to address the problem of rendering in the
BIM system in a way that simulates its magnificence in the 3DMax program, the Revit
program (which uses the BIM system) provides final output tools (Render) which allow
users to output images of the project in a way that is close to quality of specialized
programs such as 3-DMax, and provides special tools for exporting the Revit model to 3-
DMax.
7. BIMarabia – Omar Selim
Benefits of BIM:
The BIM system enables its users to exchange information between the design team,
which reduces losses and provides more useful information to the project owner. In
addition to providing a model supporting decision making process, which is an important
and essential process for the project engineer and its manager.
As a matter of fact, any building is embodiment of cooperation of a group of engineers of
different disciplines, and this technology enables us to exchange information between
design team (architects, structural engineers, surveyors and mechanical engineers),
main contractor, subcontractors and then project owner. It provides information more
easily and enables us to avoid problems so it reduces losses, saves expenses and finds
early solutions to clashes that may emerge among participating disciplines of the project
during its execution before the project starts actually.
We can summarize some of benefits of BIM technology as follows:
1- Creating an accurate and informative model of the building.
2 - Saving time, solving problems before they occur- especially problems that occur
during design and implementation- and avoiding cost wasted due to poor planning and
8. BIMarabia – Omar Selim
lack of clear vision of the project.
Applying BIM technology keeps us away from serious and obvious errors that can be
made during implementation without noticing them in design phases as shown in the
grouped images in the following figure:
3- Ease of presentation and navigation even before signing contract of project and this
has its direct effect on client. When he sees only 2D drawings, he will not be able to
understand them well and will not object. But after accomplishing the building, he will
require some modifications either when he will see the building realistically or when he
will realize them before implementation.
9. BIMarabia – Omar Selim
5- Improving the final visualization, simulation and rendering.
6- Applying coordination technology between different plans, sections and tables of a
single project, which depends on automatic update of any modification in element.
10. BIMarabia – Omar Selim
7- Merging all types of drawings; drawings of design, shop drawing and as-built are the
similar with few modifications.
8- Ease of making modification to the model and its updating
9- Accurate inventory of all parts of the project especially in the early stages.
11. BIMarabia – Omar Selim
10- Assistance in maintenance process after accomplishing the project.
11- It is a modern way of flexible building which saves money and better quality using
modern ideas such as:
Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)
Virtual Design and Construction (VDC)
12- Providing a realistic visualization of construction processes; 92% of clients
acknowledge that designs drawn by using the CAD system are not sufficient for
construction processes.
The favorite colourof BIM:
The favorite colour of BIM is green which symbolizes green buildings and preserving the
environment. Using BIM reduces expenditure costs, reduces energy use and seeks to
reduce material waste during construction.
12. BIMarabia – Omar Selim
The role of governments in implementing BIM:
Governments certainly play an effective role in implementing the BIM technology. They
should support the issue, develop a special code with appropriate standards for the
State and then make it mandatory for public sectors as in Europe and America now. So
this has a significant influence on saving a lot of money and resolving clashes in any
new project.
In May 2011, the British Government published a document stating that BIM is a
requirement for state-funded projects starting from 2016. The document focuses on
improving purchases in publicly funded projects in the UK which represents 40% of all
capital expenditures. It helps in its adopt such as existence of tolerance or reward for
those who use BIM in construction, such as allowing more area to be built by 30-50%, or
reducing fees. Years later, BIM will be made mandatory with no commitment to a
specific program of BIM programs. The target is not BIM implementation but profit,
saving and enhancing productivity because BIM technology is a means, not a target.
In the Arab countries, Dubai Governor, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum,
announced project of transforming Dubai into a smart city which ensure managing all the
city's facilities and services through intelligent, interconnected electronic systems,
13. BIMarabia – Omar Selim
providing high-speed Internet access for all residents in public places and distributing
sensors everywhere to provide Information and live services for moving to a new quality
of life for all residents and visitors of the Emirate of Dubai.
One of the smart city's strategies was implementation of the BIM system in line with
Dubai Municipality's efforts to upgrade the level of services. Dubai Municipality's
pertained to the application of the first stage of BIM in the construction and mechanical
(parts) on buildings which are above 40 floors, buildings which their area is larger than
300 thousand square feet, specialized buildings such as hospitals and universities, and
all buildings requested on behalf of a foreign office.

BIM in the Middle East
Housing and Building National Research Center is working on a BIM code to
force companies to implement BIM technology. Now most of the engineers know about
BIM but only the multinational companies changed their system to BIM as in ECG, Dar
Al-Handasah, Al-Diyar, Orascom CC, Sons of Hassan Allam and many other large
companies as well and the rest have started. But the others change their system
according to their projects if the client seeks using the BIM in his project. Egypt still has
many issues with the political and economic situations so most owners think twice about
moving toward BIM because the change needs costs to be implemented.

Qatar is a unique country in presence of projects designed using BIM. BIM delivery of
2022 FIFA World Cup stadiums, Doha Metro projects, ongoing developments in Lusail
and Katara, and almost every major new project is required. Construction growth is also

1.United Arab Emirates
The UAE decided to be part of worldwide change by reformulating AEC industry and
adopting BIM in this industry. Baldwin 2012 stated that government bodies and
associated bodies in the Middle East have also taken some important steps to make BIM
as an integral part of the construction process. Tourism Development and Investment
Company Mubadala in the UAE government increasingly require BIM as a part of their
qualification process. At the same time, Dubai Municipality's has imposed BIM as a
mandatory requirement for most buildings in Dubai on 1 January 2014 through the
issued circular No. 196 for all developers, contractors and consultants.
"Changes for adoption of BIM are still going on .whether we like that or not” Jernigan
said (2014). Therefore, those who are not good at adapting to the new change and
expressing their unwillingness to implement the BIM technology will be severely affected
and will be soon out of the game (outside the field). "When the new technology moves
towards you, you will be just part of the road if you do not succeed in being part of that
technology," Steward Brand said.

Many important projects in the UAE have benefited from using BIM, for example but not
limited to the following:

Some other government authorities in the UAE, particularly in Dubai, have admitted
benefits of BIM and decided to change to BIM. The Roads and Transport Authority (
RTA) decided to change to BIM, it started in 2014 and will reach the third level of BIM in
2019. Similarly, the Water Authority (Dewa) used BIM in their new head office (AL-
Sheraa), in addition to Dubai Electricity that is in the phase of moving to BIM.

It is located in a prominent location in Kuwait city and designed by Foster & Partners.
Because its height is 300 meter, it has a distinct presence among high-rise buildings in
the east. Its design combines structural innovation with an anonymous form with high
efficiency and protects offices from harsh climates in Kuwait where temperatures
average is 40 ° C in the summer months.
4.:األردنJordan
Jordan is a rich country in human resources eager to learn. It is also a major country in
exporting manpower to the Gulf countries, which are distinguished in large-scale real
estate and urban development, which requires applying the latest technology of
construction management. But at the same time, traditional methods are still used for
design and construction due to limited development projects, and the limited number of
construction projects does not encourage construction companies to invest in new
technology and methods.
However, with recent exceptions, there has been a demand for Building Information
Modeling from two parties:
- Some engineering consulting companies have started or attempted to apply BIM in
response to requirements of Gulf Arab companies where in this case ,clients are Gulf or
foreign companies working in the Arabian Gulf.
- Companies are modeling existing designs for countries such as Qatar, Dubai or foreign
countries because of the low cost of manpower in Jordan.
23. BIMarabia – Omar Selim
I do not remember existence of projects carried out or designed within the Building
Information Modeling System in Jordan except a hotel project in Abdali. It was modeled
during the design phase and the qualified contractors were requested to complete it
within the BIM requirements, but I think it was not completed as required and the
traditional methodology was used.
