  2. Building Information Model/Modeling (BIM) • A BIM is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility(NBIMS, 2008) • Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a new approach to design, construction, and facility management in which a digital representation of the building processis used to facilitate the exchange and interoperability of information in digital format (Eastman, C. et al. 2008)

  3. BIM: Features and Benefits • Modeling not Drawing or Drafting • Increasing accuracy and efficiency in the design, construction, and operation processes • Object-based Modeling • Database of semantically-rich building objects and properties • Computability: cost estimation, energy consumption, etc. • 3D Modeling • Design visualization • Generating 2D construction documents • Parametric modeling engines • Design intent • Design change and options: quick, interactive, early and late design phases
