Building Information Modeling
Building Information Modeling, commonly known as BIM, is a dynamic workflow through software that allows multiple members of the project team (architects, structural engineers, lighting designers, etc.) to collaborate on the project’s design plan. The building is constructed in a virtual 3D space and embedded with relevant data for the equipment used in the project, and in a shared space this model can be used to coordinate among trades and facilitate the building’s construction. From that point on, the model can also be used to manage and maintain the project’s data throughout the life cycle of the building. BIM is a tool that is changing the construction industry by enabling more efficient communication and project coordination.
