introduction to Building Information Modeling-

Building information modeling is an innovative new

approach to building design,construction, and managment

introduced by Autodesk in 2002—has changed the way

industry professionals worldwide think about how

technology, can be applied to building design

construction, and management.

-Building information modeling supports the continuous

and immediate availability of project design scope,

schedule, and cost information that is high quality,

reliable, integrated, and fully coordinated. Among the

many competitive advantages it confers are:

•increased speed of delivery (time saved)

• Better coordination (fewer errors)

• Decreased costs (money saved)

• Greater productivity

• Higher-quality work

• New revenue and business opportunities

For each of the three major phases in the building lifecycle

design, construction, and management

building information modeling offers access to the

following critical information:

• In the design phase design, schedule, and budget

information

• In the construction phase quality, schedule, and cost

information

• In the management phase performance, utilization,

and financial information

The ability to keep this information up to date and

accessible in an integrated digital environment gives

architects, engineers, builders, and owners a clear overall

vision of their projects, as well as the ability to make

better decisions faster—raising the quality and increasing

the profitability of projects.

Although building information modeling is an approach

and not a technology, it does require suitable technology

to be implemented effectively.

Examples of some of these technologies,

in increasing order of effectiveness, include:

• CAD

• Object CAD

• Parametric Building Modeling

Actually there is a lot of definitions that Explains the

meaning of building information modeling , but I think the

best definition of BIM is : An integerated workflow built on

coordinated and reliable Information about a project from

design through construction into operation

-history of BIM

The concept of BIM has existed since the 1970s. The term Building

Information Model first appeared in a 1992 paper by G.A. van Nederveen and

F. P. Tolman. However, the terms Building Information Model and Building

Information Modeling (including the acronym "BIM") had not been popularly

used until 10 years later when Autodesk released the white paper entitled

"Building Information Modeling".Jerry Laiserin helped popularize and

standardize the term as a common name for the digital representation of the

building process as then offered under differing terminology by Graphisoft as

"Virtual Building", Bentley Systems "Integrated Project Models", and by

Autodesk or Vectorworks as "Building Information Modeling" to facilitate

exchange and interoperability of information in digital format.

the first implementation of BIM was under the Virtual Building concept by

Graphisoft's ArchiCAD in its debut in 1987.

4- Benefits of BIM through design phase

Building information modeling (BIM) is one of the most promising

recent developments in the architecture, engineering, and

construction (AEC) industry. With BIM technology, an accurate

virtual model of a building is digitally constructed. This model,

known as a building information model, can be used for planning,

design, construction, and operation of the facility. It helps

architects, engineers, and constructors visualize what is to be built

in a simulated environment to identify any potential design,

construction, or operational issues. BIM represents a new

paradigm within AEC, one that encourages integration of the roles

of all stakeholders on a project. In this paper, current trends,

benefits, possible risks, and future challenges of BIM for the AEC

industry are discussed. The findings of this study provide useful

information for AEC industry practitioners considering

implementing BIM technology in their projects.

this is called 3D bim enchance archtects to simulate buildings and

doing energy analysis for 3DModel this is called 6D

5- Benefits of BIM through construction phase In the construction phase of the building lifecycle,

building information modeling makes available

concurrent information on building quality, schedule,

and cost. The builder can accelerate the

quantification of the building for estimating

and value-engineering purposes and for the

production of updated estimates and construction

planning. The consequences of proposed or procured

products can be studied and understood easily

. Building information modeling also means that less

time and money are spent on process and

administration issues in construction because

this technology helps archtects and costruction

engineers to avoid the design errors that makes

conflects on construction phase

This is called 4D

6- Benefits of BIM through operation and managment phase

For management phase

the management phase of the building lifecycle, building

information modeling makes available concurrent information

on the use or performance of the building; its occupants

and contents; the life of the building over time; and the

financial aspects of the building. Building information modeling

provides a digital record of renovations and improves move

planning and management. It accelerates the adaptation of

standard building prototypes to site conditions for businesses,

such as retail, that require the construction of similar

buildings in many different locations. Physical information about

the building, such as finishes, tenant or department

assignments, furniture and equipment inventory, and financially

important data about leasable areas and rental income or

departmental cost allocations are all more easily managed and

available. Consistent access to these types of information

improves both revenue and cost management in the operation

of the building

5D this is called

For operation phase

Building information technology helps the facility managers to

save money spent on operation phase by using good materials in

construction phase this is called 7D
