BIM is a process for generating and managing building data throughout the lifecycle of a building using 3D modeling software. It applies to all aspects of building construction from design through facilities management. BIM brings together information about all building components, integrates different aspects more effectively, reduces mistakes, and minimizes costs. It is used by architects, contractors, owners, planners, designers, and engineers.

3. Definition
Building Information Modeling (BIM)
is the process of generating and
managing building data during its life
cycle. BIM uses three-dimensional,
real-time, dynamic building modeling
software to increase productivity in
building design and construction.

4. Most importantly, BIM is not a technology. It is a process.
This is possibly the most important aspect to understand.
BIM applies to all ​aspects of the construction of a building,
from the design, the estimating, the supply chain, the
delivery of goods during the build, the build process, the
resource allocation, the productivity requirements to meet
targets and on in to the post-handover phase through
Facilities and Asset Management.
