BIM Building Information Modeling is much more than model creation, it is human and software collaboration through large volumes of construction data that is communicated at every point in the development life-cycle for a project(s).

What is BIM,
Building Information
Modeling?

Introduction
• Industry professionals see BIM or Building Information Modeling as an
essential collaboration and construction project development platform
with various tools and resources that can be used for the complete project
lifecycle. In the construction industry, positive urbanization is a need of
the hour.
• Many construction companies and owners have adopted the BIM process
in their construction projects, but India still needs to work up on this
process and technology as there is a huge growth market for construction
and civil engineering projects in India. Many enterprises around the globe
have understood and adopted the robust power of BIM to accomplish
their project through quick turnaround times, and on budget.

The core definition of Building Information Modeling
(BIM)
• Building Information Modeling or BIM is a series of processes that are adopted
through digital depiction of physical and working characteristics of an
infrastructure. It is an ecosystem wherein all the parties involved in a construction
project can collaborate on a single platform through well-defined processes, and
software automation to devise strategies, plan the complete building process
behind the desk, handle design operations, pre-fabricate & fabricate precise
building assets, manage the project life cycle, and more.
• In simplicity, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is constructability backed by
digital intelligence in the AEC(Architecture, Engineering, Construction) industry.
BIM has influenced many companies worldwide due its influence on the overall
building process. Read More…

Why BIM?
• BIM has been used as a mandate in many countries for construction projects
for its ability to execute construction projects easily through 3D visualizations,
and connecting the dots from design to construction. BIM has the ability to
visualize a project from the ground up, and it helps every member of the team
viz. project managers, contractors, and developers save on time and money.
• There are many countries that are using the BIM methodology, and more are
soon to adopt it. Some of the countries that have deployed, and soon to
deploy BIM are – Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, USA, UK,
Germany, Singapore, and more.

BIM as Multi layered Process
As an example –
• The 400K street NW project had design deficiencies for duct, duct passing, that were completely clashing with the
plumbing design. With the help of BIM, the project engineers and BIM experts were able to solve this issue before it
went for fabrication. This, in turn enhanced productivity, and reduced scrap and rework.

5 Benefits of Building Information Modeling (BIM), you should absolutely
consider
The benefits of BIM are easy to understand as they have been mentioned below –

9. www.nibt.education
1.Exceptional Collaboration & Team Work
• As BIM exemplifies team work, teams can easily rely on BIM functionality
to work on the cloud, and collaborate efficiently through all the stages of
the project lifecycle. Managing your project behind the desk, and
analyzing various vital information through collaboration before even
going onsite is what Building Information Modeling delivers for your team
members and project.
• It deeply penetrates every piece of vital information, and brings it out on
the table for team members to review, enhance, and deploy through
constant streamlining.

2.Enhanced Workflow Visualization
• BIM as a process, when integrated with state-of-the-art software
leverages clients and construction professionals to design detailed 3D
models with precise information intelligence, that helps users to
quantify all the necessary facets, and visualize their project in real-
time. All this is achieved before going in to the actual construction
phase.

3.Extremely cost-productive
• For budget-centric projects, it is absolutely imperative that every team member stays focused
to complete a project on budget. The demerits of old-fashioned planning can lead to
vulnerabilities and clashes onsite. These clashes can occur for building assets, wherein
multiple assets can occupy the same space, and cause a lot rework onsite, or it can actually
cause clashes between various departments or team members in the project. This can create
serious delays in project time-lines.
• BIM mitigates all these complications through transparent information interchange across all
the departments. Building Information Modeling has become cost productive in the sense that
it completely mitigates the need of extra assets or assets that are not required like doors,
windows, building material, and more. Thus, there is no material wastage whatsoever.

4.Enhanced Productivity
• Time is of the essence when it comes to the AEC industry and building
complex infrastructure. Thus, productivity of every single department and
individual is to be assessed and evaluated for the project to complete on time.
With BIM, construction personnel have the flexibility to plan each step in a
condensed manner for others to view and understand.
• Any changes made in the model, drawings, or documents are reflected in real-
time for others to approve and improve on. This is applicable for every phase
of the project life-cycle, thus contributing to greater productivity amongst
various teams.

5. Green-building & reduced carbon foot-print
• The need for positive urbanization through green building technology
reduces the carbon foot-print on the environment. Energy efficiency is
key to building modern structures through early-stage environmental
analysis for energy consumption, lighting requirements, plumbing
systems, daylight improvement, and more.
• Through BIM, owners and construction companies can deploy
sustainable design processes, and optimize energy efficiency, water
and waste management, and even create a paper-free AEC ecosystem
through the cloud.

Towards the end
• BIM penetration in the AEC industry has seen an up-curve through
technology advancements, and the flexibility it offers through various
processes for along the building life-cycle. Extensive use of BIM around
the globe will necessarily create sustainable urbanization, and take the
construction industry to a sophisticated level of advancements
through precise data mining and information interchange. Check
