4. About BIM
• Three-dimensional, virtual representation of a design
project
• Adds fourth dimension of time and fifth dimension of
cost
• “Cloud” allows different members of cross-functional
team to work on the project in one place
5. USES OF BIM 360
Collaboration and
Access
Simulation Visualization
• Clash detection and
coordination
• Conceptual design
and feasibility
evaluation
• Field management
• Mechanical
simulation
• Air, fluid, flow, and
thermal comfort
• Energy analysis
• Structural analysis
• Rendering
6. Uses of BIM 360
• Collaboration and Access
• Clash detection
• Feasibility evaluation
• Field management
11. Users of BIM
• Architects
• Engineers (civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, etc.)
• Construction Personnel
• Cost Estimators
12. Benefits of BIM
• Accuracy and Coordination
• Consistent Views
• Effective communication amongst users
• Time and Cost
• Early detection of problems

13. Future Possibilities
• Green BIM
• Utilization of BIM helps make buildings more sustainable
• Example: sunlight and temperature control
• Mockups
• A headset would allow one to walk into an empty room and
get a virtual feel of what the room will look like upon
completion
