BIM
BIM is an acronym for Building Information Modelling. BIM describes the means by which everyone can understand a building through the use of a digital model which draws on a range of data assembled collaboratively, before during and after construction.
Creating a digital Building Information Model enables those who interact with the building to optimize their actions, resulting in a greater whole life value for the asset.
Through BIM, the UK construction industry is undergoing its very own digital revolution. BIM is a way of working. BIM is information modelling and information management in a team environment, all team members should be working to the same standards as one another. BIM creates value from the combined efforts of people, process and technology.
A BIM object is a combination of:
- Information content that defines a product
- Product properties
- Geometry representing the product’s physical characteristics
- Visualisation data giving the object a recognisable appearance
- Functional data that enables the object to be positioned and behave in the same manner as the product itself.
