Introduction

BIM Definition:

Building Information Modeling BIM is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. BIM is a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle; defined as existing from earliest conception to demolition. (National BIM Standard - United States)

Origins of BIM

In 1963 Ivan Sutherland develops SketchPad as a drawing assistant for part of his Ph.D dissertation.

In 1970 BIM concepts was born. In 1987 The first implementation of BIM product

by Graphisoft, ArchiCAD was released. In 2002 Autodesk acquire Revit Technology

Corporation.


BIM is very much talked about in the Building Industry

BUTWhat is it really?Why we use it?How can we use it?


Some say BIM is a Process.


Some say BIM is a type of Software.Some say BIM is a Process.


Some say BIM is the 3D Model of a building.Some say BIM is a type of Software.Some say BIM is a Process.


And others say BIM is just an Organized Collection of all Building Data.

Some say BIM is the 3D Model of a building.

Some say BIM is a Process.Some say BIM is a type of Software.


BIM is all the previous and more…

So we can say that BIM is the Process that we use a Software to Create a 3D Model with an Organized Collection of all Building Data.

And others say BIM is just an Organized Collection of all Building Data.

Some say BIM is the 3D Model of a building.

Some say BIM is a Process.Some say BIM is a type of Software.


BIM Product and its uses:1- 3D Intelligent ModelIt begins with a 3D digital model, this model is more than just a geometry and some textures added to it for visualization.

A true BIM model consists of the virtual equivalents of the actual building sections used to create a building.


2- Change ManagementParametric relationshipsObjects are defined as parameters and relations to other objects, so that if a related object is modified, dependent ones will automatically change.

BIM Product and its uses:


2- Change ManagementParametric relationshipsObjects are defined as parameters and relations to other objects, so that if a related object is modified, dependent ones will automatically change.



BIM Product and its uses:2- Change ManagementBidirectional AssociativitySince data is stored in a central place in a BIM model, any modification to the building design will be automatically replicated in each view, such as floor plans, sections, elevations and also the schedules.

This not only helps in creating the documentation faster, but also provides automatic coordination of different views.


3- Team CollaborationBIM Supports the team work concept and helps more than one member to work on the same model, from early design through to completion, changes are automatically coordinated across the project and information generated is therefore of high quality.



4- Building SimulationBIM model contains more than just Architectural data; information about the different engineering disciplines (Arch, STR, and MEP), sustainability information, and other characteristics can be easily simulated in advance of actual construction.



5- Clash DetectionThrough BIM process, Engineers are able to identify conflicts between model elements and resolve interferences and other issues early in the design phase, enabling to make design correction faster before the impact construction cost and schedules.



6- Interoperability “Integration”BIM process provides the ability of two separate systems or software programs to communicate and exchange data with each other.



7- Remote Access to Project DataMaking data easy to access for and from anywhere through the usable mobile devices, viewing the latest models and comparing them with the actual work in the field, this make it easier to identify the potential design issues.

What are the benefits of BIM for the Project Management Knowledge Areas?

The data put in the a BIM model is not only useful during the design and construction phase of a building project but can be used throughout the entire building lifecycle, helping to reduce the operation and management cost of buildings, which is significantly more than the entire cost of construction.


The result of all the previous benefits of working with BIM Technology: Preconstruction benefits to owner. Increase building performance. Reduce the financial risk. Accelerate Decision Making. Shorten the project schedule. Obtain reliable and accurate cost estimates. Assure program compliance. Optimize facility management and maintenance.

What are the benefits of BIM for the Project Management Knowledge Areas?


ConclusionYou are now have the knowledge of creating Single Model Database.

With all the benefits BIM has to offer, don’t let your competition get to BIM before you do!
