Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a building. It supports all phases of a building's life cycle—from design to construction and facility management. BIM integrates both geometric and specification data, enabling architects, engineers, contractors, and building owners to manage projects more effectively. With Autodesk Revit leading the market, BIM allows for accurate material take-offs, conflict detection, and centralized information storage, streamlining the construction process and enhancing collaboration among stakeholders.

What does BIM Stand For? Building Information Modeling
What is BIM? • Architectural 3D modeling for the complete life cycle of a building: Design, Construction, and Facility Management • Contains both geometric and specification information about the building (materials, components, finishes, etc.). • BIM software market leader: AutoDeskRevit • Approximately 70% Market Share

Who Uses BIM? • Architects • MEP Systems Engineers (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing) • Civil & Structural Engineers • Contractors • Building Owners & Facilities Managers
What are the Benefits of BIM? • All information about a building design is stored in a single, intelligent 3D model that can be used throughout the life of the building. • Conflicts between structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems can be identified before construction begins to reduce rework. • Material take-offs are much faster and more accurate since exact quantities of materials and components are stored in the model.
What are BIM Models? • Simplified 3D models of key building components • Include basic geometry along with key attributes: • Part numbers / manufacturer • Sizes, materials, finishes • Specifications • Provided by manufacturers for use by architects & engineers to add intelligence to building designs
