4. Building Information Model • A Building Information Model is a data-rich, object orientated, intelligent and parametric digital representation of a facility, from which views and data appropriate to various users’ needs can be extracted and analyzed to generate information that can be used to make decisions and improve the process of delivering and maintaining the facility. • A parametric feature based modeler is a CAD software package that uses either constructive solid geometry or Boundary Representation that allows users to refer to features instead of the underlying geometry.

5. Building Information Modeling • Building Information Modeling is the process of creating intelligent models that will be shared across multiple platforms and with many different entities. These entities may include designers, builders, subcontractors, fabricators, machine operators, owners, and facility managers. Each entity is responsible for sharing information in a collaborative effort both upstream and downstream from their area of responsibility.
