What is BIM?Between 25% and 30% of the construction cost that is due to

incomplete, inaccurate and

ambiguous production information. This can be saved.

• Figures of 18% reduction in drawing costs have been

demonstrated and an overall cost benefit of at

least 10% on the contract sum.

• The process offers the potential for greater saving in the

delivery of the lifecycle information and

the asset management data to be used and updated throughout

the life of the facility or utility.

What is BIM?BIM is the process of creating a complete virtual “model” of a facility for use throughout design, procurement, construction, testing & commissioning and operations & maintenance. It is characterised by having at its core a central, integrated database (the model) of the facility containing not only geometry and spatial (3D) data but also a range of additional “information” about those elements and such as material properties, manufacturers data etc and usually defines relationships between elements.

Generally, separate models are created for Architecture, Structure and MEP designs and the software tools and processes and information models are specific to those disciplines. These separate models can all be referenced by each disciplines software tool or through specific design review software.

BIM History• Architecture is a great thing, which cannot be undertaken by

all. One must have intelligence, and persevering zeal, the best knowledge and long practice, and above all grave and severe judgement and counsel to succeed in the profession of architect.

• For in matters of building the first glory of all is to judge well that which is fitting. To build, in fact, is a necessity. To build conveniently responds to necessity and utility, but to build so that one is praised by men of glory and not criticized by the frugal, can only come from, the ability of a learned, wise and judicious artist.

• (function, structure & beauty)• (harmony and concord in all the parts )• 'Leon Battista Alberti', 1452

2D - Something with 2 dimensions (flat)

3D - Something seen in 3 dimensions e.g. width, length and

height.

4D - Adding the aspect of Time to a project

(phasing/sequencing)

5D - Adding the aspect of Cost to a project (cost estimating)

6D - The aspect of Life Cycle Management (owner/FM)

A 6D model accounts for sustainability optimisation which

includes for energy performance analysis and BER / BREEAM /

LEED element tracking. 7D is the FM

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an

integrated process for exploring a project’s key

physical and functional characteristics digitally

before it’s built, helping to deliver projects faster

and more economically, while minimizing

environmental impact

Coordinated, consistent information is used

throughout the process to design innovative

projects, better visualize and simulate real-world

appearance, performance and cost, and create

more accurate
