Overview of Building Information Modeling What does it mean for Civil Engineering?
What Is Building Information Modeling? OWNERS BIM is an integrated process that allows professionals to explore a project’s key physical and functional characteristics digitally – before it is built. Use coordinated, consistent information to: • Design innovative projects from the earliest stages • Visualize, simulate and analyzereal-world appearance, performance, and cost • Documentaccurately • Deliver projects faster, more economically, and with reduced environmental impact BUILDERS ARCHITECTS BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING CIVIL ENGINEERS MEP SYSTEMS ENGINEERS STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS
Building Information Modeling (BIM)Built on coordinated information • Multidiscipline Coordination • Communicate directly • Reduce errors • Simulation and Analysis • Model-centric approach • Optimize designs • Visualization • Explore • Validate • Communicate

Integrated Project Delivery IPD is a project delivery approach that: • Integrates people • Systems • Business structures • Practices into a process that .. …collaboratively harnesses the talents and insights of all participants to reduce waste and optimize efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication, and construction.
