What is BIM?

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is not just a design tool, but a comprehensive and holistic process for creating, managing, and utilizing information throughout the entire lifecycle of a built asset. It is based on an intelligent 3D modeland empowered by cloud-based platforms that allow seamless collaboration. BIM integrates structured, multi-disciplinary data from architects, engineers, contractors, and operators to provide a dynamic digital representation of an asset — from the earliest stages of planning and conceptual design, through detailed engineering and construction, and extending into operations, maintenance, and eventual decommissioning.
