Building Information Modeling

BIM is the transition from 2D to 3D design that allows the creation of an intelligent 3D model of a construction project. It gives architecture, engineering, and construction professionals insight and tools to efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings. BIM promises to reduce costs by eliminating requests for information, change orders, and delays through improved coordination and control over design changes. However, some misconceptions exist that BIM is just for architects or a design tool, when it actually involves building information modeling for any large project and manages information at every stage.

BIM
▫ BUILDING INFORMATION
MODELING
2

▫ It is the transition from 2-D to 3-D design and is


sometimes used synonymously with Virtual
Building Model (VBM) or Virtual Design and
Construction (VDC), each of which refers to the
ability to produce a three-dimensional view of a
construction project as building components are
designed, modified or deleted.
3

▫ It is an intelligent 3D model-based
process that gives architecture,
engineering, and construction (AEC)
professionals the insight and tools to more
efficiently plan, design, construct, and
manage buildings and infrastructure.

PROMISES AND PROBLEMS


 Reducing or possibly eliminating Request For Information (RFI)
 Reducing or possibly eliminating Architects Supplementary
Instructions (ASIs)
 Reducing the potential for cost overruns by allowing more control
over the factors that generate or create change orders.

 Reducing delays in design and construction schedules.


 Drastically reducing change orders related to coordination/
component conflict (interference) problems
5

PROMISES AND PROBLEMS


 Plans, elevations, wall sections, and schedules are
always consistent.
 The coordination across different disciplines eliminates
the problems previously associated with ensuring that
everything fits in its alloted space-horizontally or
vertically.
 Schedules for finishes, doors, windows, and hardware
are easily generated and updated as change occur in
plan and elevation design.

PROMISES AND PROBLEMS


 The ability to generate quantities of materials during
design facilitates the procurement and, particularly in a
design-build or negotiated project mode, tracking
design with the budget.
 The data created by BIM continues to have useful life
during both commissioning and the continuing
operation and maintenance of the building.

Common BIM
Misconceptions
8

1. BIM is just for Architects


BIM can be used for all kinds of building
projects. It can be used for just about anything in the
built environment, including:
 Architecture and building design  Rail and metro transportation
 Civil and structural engineering engineering
 Energy and utilities  Tunnelling and subway
architecture
 Highway and road engineering
 Urban master-planning and
 Landscape and land surveying
smart city design
 Offshore and marine
architecture

2. BIM is just a design tool.

BIM is all about information. It not just only create a


visually appealing 3D model of the building but it creates
a numerous layers of metadata and renders with a
collaborative workflow.

THE COMPONENTS
OF BIM
11

• B is for Building

“Building” doesn’t mean “a building”.


BIM is a process that involves the act of
building something together, whether it relates to
architecture, infrastructure, civil engineering,
landscaping or other large-scale projects.
12

• I is for Information
Every project comes with a straggering
amount of information, from prices to
performance ratings and predicted lifetimes.

.
13

M is for Modeling

In BIM, every project is built twice.
