The architectural, engineering and construction domain is fast evolving. With technologies like BIM acquiring a center stage, many industry professionals and stakeholders get confused about all the terms and jargon they keep on hearing.
In these slides, let’s look at some industry-specific terminology and special BIM terms you should know before you jump deeper into the world of Building Information Modeling (BIM).
Building Information Modeling is not a new concept in the AEC industry. In May 2011, the UK government released a futuristic construction strategy for a reduction in the cost of public sector assets. This strategy mandated construction vendors applying for government tenders to achieve BIM Level 2 to be considered. The strategy also pushed for the phased roll-out of BIM Level 3 on all centrally-procured projects by 2016.
There are many definitions of BIM out there and all are accurate in most senses. BIM is an intelligent model-based process to create building model data that is essentially coordinated and computable and thus AEC professionals can more efficiently design, build and operate buildings and infrastructures. A true BIM model consists of the virtual equivalents of the actual building parts and pieces used to build a building which means a building can be “built” even before its physical realization through a virtual model.
BIM Level of Development Explained | LOD 100 200 300 400 500United-BIM
Level of development (LOD) is a set of specifications that gives professionals in the AEC industry the power to document, articulate and specify the content of BIM effectively and clearly. Serving as an industry standard, LOD defines the development stages of different systems in BIM. By using LOD specifications, architects, engineers, and other professionals can clearly communicate with each other without confusion for faster execution.
How BIM is Facilitating Facility Management ProcessUnited-BIM
BIM in facility management helps to anticipate various maintenance requirements and other operational requirements. Managers can get a clear idea of ongoing upkeep costs and check when equipment requires maintenance. The as-built documentation received on handover is one of the strongest tools for a facility manager at the age of BIM.
BIM Dimensions Explained- 3D, 4D, 5D, 6D and 7D- Definition and BenefitsUnited-BIM
A BIM model can be utilized for pre-defined specific purposes, commonly known as use-cases. According to project stage requirements and project complexity, specific parameters are added to the existing information contained in BIM. These additions of pre-defined used cases can be described as BIM dimensions.
These dimensions enhance the data associated with a model to share a greater level of understanding of a construction project.
In the modern era, BIM technology has evolved from basic 3D & 4D dimensions to more sophisticated 5D, 6D & 7D dimensions that are poised to change the future of the AEC industry.
BIM is a process, not just a technology, that involves 3D modeling of a building project from design through construction and facility management. It allows for improved coordination and communication between project stakeholders. Key benefits include easier identification and resolution of design issues, more accurate cost estimation, improved scheduling, and a detailed as-built model to facilitate facility management. Governments are starting to mandate BIM for large public construction projects to realize these benefits. HCSE Inc. is a structural engineering firm located in California that provides BIM services including 3D and 4D modeling.
The document outlines 10 key points about building information modeling (BIM):
1. BIM is a process, not just a technology, that is applied throughout construction from design to facilities management.
2. BIM uses various technology platforms to enable aspects like architectural modeling.
3. BIM has different implementation levels from 2D CAD to full integration of data through web services.
BIM results in significant benefits like reduced costs, improved quality, and better predictability for construction projects.
In this presentation I gave one overall overview about BIM workflow for Construction and D&B companies.
BIM is not a tool, BIM is not a software, BIM is a way of thinking about the project and put together processes to exchange information during the entire lifecycle.
This presentation is mainly focused on Autodesk platform but is applicable to many other solutions.

The Role of BIM in Modern Construction ProjectsTawwabKhan4
In the rapidly evolving landscape of modern construction, the integration of technology has become paramount for success. One such technological advancement that has revolutionised the industry is Building Information Modelling, commonly known as BIM. With its digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of buildings, BIM offers a transformative approach to construction projects.
In this article, we take a look at the significance of BIM, exploring its importance and the multiple levels or stages it encompasses. We will also uncover the role of precision engineering in constructing stronger and more sophisticated buildings.
Understanding the Power of BIM: A Digital Revolution in Construction
At its core, Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a digital representation of a building’s physical and functional attributes. It encompasses a wide range of information, including architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical details, all stored in a centralised database. This comprehensive model serves as a shared knowledge resource for all stakeholders involved in a construction project.
BIM is a game-changer in the construction industry due to its ability to enhance collaboration, improve communication, and streamline workflows.
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.

2. BIM Terms You Should Know
The architectural, engineering and construction
domain is fast evolving. With technologies like BIM
acquiring a center stage, many industry professionals
and stakeholders get confused about all the terms
and jargon they keep on hearing.
In this blog, let’s look at some industry-specific
terminology and special BIM terms you should know
before you jump deeper into the world of Building
Information Modeling (BIM).
www.united-bim.com 2
3. 1. 3D Modeling
3D modeling is the most common form of
BIM that uses common data environment to
create and share graphic/non-graphic
information in a 3D model for collaboration.
2. 4D Modeling
4D modeling adds construction sequencing information in
the project model that lets stakeholders know how the
project will be developed sequentially. Essentially, this
involves adding scheduling data to the components to
keep everyone informed on the development sequence.
3. 5D Modeling
5D modeling is related to cost information and
enriches a BIM model with accurate cost
information associated with various components
and systems. 5D model embeds capital costs,
operational costs and replacement costs associated
with every physical aspect of a project. The
calculation is linked to different components within
the graphic model itself.

BIM Explained | Definition & Benefits
www.united-bim.com 3
4. 4. Asset Information Model
An asset information model is essentially a BIM model
complemented with all the required information essential
to operate and manage the asset after construction. An
asset can refer to civil or infrastructure work or any other
dedicated asset within the bigger BIM model.
5. Building Information Model
A building information model (BIM) is a digital depiction or
representation of various components of a building or facility,
usually in 3D format. The three-dimensional model is linked to
a central database consisting of information about materials,
components, systems, products and their attributes.
6. Building Information Modeling
Building information modeling is the process of creating
informative 3D models using data modeling software. This
is done to create a detailed representation of a building
digitally to outline the physical and functional attributes.
www.united-bim.com 4
5. BIM coordination allows various stakeholders to work in relation to each
other throughout the entire lifecycle of a BIM project. This is done to
avoid chances of clashes and detect the same at early stages to minimize
wastage of resources and for achieving cost-efficiency. Clash detection
helps discover conflicts between various elements- structural, MEP
through a digital approach via the BIM model.

How clash detection is augmenting construction drawing validation?
7. BIM Coordination (Clash Detection)
www.united-bim.com 5
6. BIM works on different levels from Level 0 to level 3 where Level
0 means making use of 2D CAD drafting with no collaboration.
BIM levels can be said to be distinct milestones that take the
modeling process to greater collaboration. The distinct levels
are as follows:
• Level 0: 2D CAD drafting with no collaboration between
stakeholders
• Level 1: Amalgamation of 3D CAD and 2D for
documentation and product information. The data is shared
electronically through a CDE. Though there is no
collaboration between various stakeholders. Each maintains
its own data.
• Level 2: Collaborative working using 3D CAD models where
information is shared via a common file format.
• Level 3: Complete integration of work between all the
stakeholders using shared project model stored in common
data environment to eliminate conflicts.

repository that can be used by all the stakeholders in a BIM
project. All the data related to a BIM model is created, stored and
shared via the CDE through cloud storage that can be accessed by
various departments/stakeholders to improve coordination and
boost productivity.
16. Common Data Environment (CDE)
A standard legal agreement prepared for construction and
contractor clients outlining additional rights and duties of employer
and contracted parties for promoting collaborative working without
