Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an innovative new approach to building design, construction, and management.
BIM supports the continuous and immediate availability of project design scope, schedule, and cost information that is high quality, reliable, integrated, and fully coordinated. Among the many competitive advantages it confers are:
- Increased speed of delivery
- Better coordination
- Decreased costs
- Greater productivity
- Higher-quality work
- New revenue and business opportunities
For each of the three major phases in the building lifecycle—design, construction, and management—BIM offers access to the following critical information:
- Design phase—design, schedule, and budget information
- Construction phase—quality, schedule, and cost information
- Management phase—performance, utilization, and financial information
The ability to keep this information up to date and accessible in an integrated digital environment gives architects, engineers, builders, and owners a clear overall vision of their projects, as well as the ability to make better decisions faster—raising the quality and increasing the profitability of projects.
