“CAD helps people to draw. BIM helps people to construct.”

 What is BIM????
§ BIM (Building Information
Modeling) ~ Intelligent model-
driven process.
§ Build faster, More economically &
with less environmental impact.
§ Create Designs with Intelligent
objects.
§ With design changes, data remain
consistent and coordinated across
stakeholders.
§ Efficient collaborative workflows.
 What
WhatisisBIM????
BIM??
§ Building Information Modelling
(BIM) is a digital representation of
physical and functional
characteristics of a building.
§ The idea is to create a 3D model or
“virtual” representation of real
physical buildings.
§ Each 3D element has information
input into it.
§ So that the data can be scheduled
automatically and shared
downstream with other members
and stakeholders.
What is BIM used for?

§ BIM is used for creating and managing data during the design,
construction, and operations process.
§ BIM integrates multi-disciplinary data to create detailed digital
representations that are managed in an open cloud platform for
real-time collaboration.
§ Using BIM gives you greater visibility, better decision-making,
more sustainable options, and cost-savings on AEC projects.
 What is the process of BIM?
§ The process of BIM supports the creation of intelligent data that can
be used throughout the lifecycle of a building or infrastructure project.

§ Coordinated
§ Consistent § Clarity
§ Computable § Continuity
§ Agility
 1. Work More Efficiently with single Coordinated Model

§ Concurrently design &

document your building
project.
§ All design information is stored
in a single coordinated
database.
§ Provide project manager the
ability to instantly/generate
schedules, drawing sheets, and
2D and 3D views from the
model.
 2. Change Management

§ Revision to project design is

updated automatically
throughout every view and
supporting documentation.

§ Helping you to minimise

errors and omissions.
 3. Design & Visualize in 3D
§ Design in 3D by working in a
Model-based environment.
§ At any stage of the project/ Design,
generate 3D Ortho perspective
views from any angle of the model
to visualize the space.
§ A walkthrough tool enables you to
create animations based on the
camera moving along a path.
Helping you visualize the building
virtually.
4. Enhance Documentation Quality
§ Automatically manages changes to your building model
throughout the document process.
§ It helps to maintain a consistent representation of the building
while helping you with drawing coordination and reducing errors.
4. Enhance Documentation Quality

§ Construction documents derived

from the model are of higher
quality, minimising the costs of
changes and manual
coordination.

§ Invest more time in designing,

you know that your
documentation is coordinated
and up to date.
5. Automatically Generates Schedule

§ Automate the generation of

schedule of building
components to drive data and
improve the visibility of costs
and quantities.

§ Since schedule are generated

directly from the model they
provide comprehensive view of
latest BIM model.
5. Automatically Generates Schedule
§ Changes to a schedule view are reflected automatically in all other
views of model, i.e. Plans, Sections & Elevations.
6. Photorealistic rendering in Cloud

§ If you have subscription create rendering online without

engaging your hardware.
7. Extensive Content Library

§ Huge collection of 2D & 3D real world building

components are included in BIM software.
8. Delivers design in DWG file format.

§ Produce design in .DWG file format in well layered and

organized .DWG file.
§ It helps manage the export of model data to appropriate
layers, line, patterns & fonts.
