A New Dimension For Buildings
" A building information model is a digital
representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. As
such, it serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about a
facility,forming a reliablebasis fordecisions during its life-cycle, from
inception onward "
BIM, which enables professionals to virtually build a
facility before it's ever physically constructed, is a catalyst for change
in an industry that's been slow to innovate and embrace technology. Because
BIM can eliminate many of the inefficiencies of current construction
practices and improve the transfer of information during all phases of a
building's life, it's being hailed almost as much for the process it
facilitates (integrated project delivery) as for the features it provides.
Many stakeholders (e.g. owners, architects, engineers, contractors,
subcontractors, and facility managers) can access a building information
model.entering, extracting, and/or updating information throughout the
building's life cycle. The more individuals who collaborate using a building
information model, the greater its value becomes. Because BIM has the
potential to benefit so many parties (from everyone involved in the design
and construction of buildings to building operators and even first
responders), momentum is growing. With so many advantages, it's easy to see
why
" The potential advantages (of BIM) span a wide range of outcomes
including a better tool for design and engineering documentation and
analysis, more robust cost estimating, improved trade coordination,
optimized means and sequence of work, a powerful communication tool for
design intent and construction plan, and an information rich as built model
for facilities management. "
