BIM
A building information model is a project
simulation consisting of the 3D models of the
project components with links to all the required
information connected with the project’s
planning, construction or operation, and
maintenance.

BENEFITS OF THE BIM
Visualization: Primarily addresses the benefit to an
individual and the improvement in her or his personal
understanding as a result of using the BIM.
Collaboration: Refers to the cooperative action of
several team members as that is encouraged and
facilitated by the BIM.
Elimination: Addresses mostly project-related benefits,
such as reduction of conflicts, waste, and risk.
BENEFITS OF THE BIM
Improved productivity due to easy retrieval of
information
Increased coordination of construction documents
Embedding and linking of vital information such as
vendors for specific materials, location of details and
quantities required for estimation and tendering
Increased speed of delivery
Reduced costs
BIM VS STAKEHOLDERS
Architect – convert ideas from sketches into 3D models
Quantity Surveyor - expects automated take-off
Building Services/MEP Engineer - efficient way of
calculating energy consumption
Structural Engineer - integration between 3D models &
structural analysis
Project Manager - simulate the construction sequence
Contractor - reduce risk and error & gain profit
Client - reduce construction cost & earliest delivery of a
building works.
INFORMATION
In the context of BIM, it is described as data that has been
collected and analyzed so it can be used to reason about
something, make a decision, or draw conclusions.
TIME PHASE VS BIM
This section has been organized into three parts
representing the time phases of the project:
Pre-construction : the planning and design phase
(activities before construction),
Course of construction : the construction management
phase—(activities during construction), and
Post-construction : the property management phase—
(activities after construction).
ATTRIBUTES & PROPERTIES OF BIM MODELS
Object oriented (3D elements not 2D vector lines)
Intelligent & Parametric (all objects are interlinked with
logical relationships - any change is propagated to all
views)
Able to expand to 4D (time) ,5D (cost) and up to 7D.
“Interoperability” to structural analysis engines with
bidirectional transfer
Clash detection capability to produce coordinated
drawings among other disciplines (Archi, Structural,
MEP, Civil, etc.).
BIM DELIVERABLES
The typical deliverables are shown below:
Site model
Massing model
Architectural, structural, MEP models
For regulatory submissions
For coordination and / or clash detection analysis
For visualization
For cost estimation
Schedule (material, time etc) and phasing program (in
BIM or spreadsheet)
Construction and fabrication models
Shop drawings
As-built model (in native proprietary or open formats)
Data for facility management
Other additional value-added BIM services.
ATTRIBUTES OF BIM ELEMENTS
An important aspect of BIM is the ability to contain
information in the model. This information can come in
geometric and non-geometric forms. Examples of Geometric
and Non-Geometric Attributes of BIM Elements.

PARAMETRIC MODELING
Parametric Modeling is a key principle of BIM.
Essentially this means that everything in the
model is connected to everything else.
If you move the location of a wall, the elements
attached to the wall also move.
PARAMETRIC MODELING
INTEROPERABILITY
The ability of BIM tools from multiple vendors to
exchange building model data and operate on that
data.
Interoperability is a significant requirement for
team collaboration and data movement between
different BIM platforms.
BENEFITS OF INTEROPERABILITY
Increased speed of overall project delivery
Reduced infrastructure vulnerability
Greater reliability of information through the life
cycle
Expanded markets for companies
Improved value to customers
BIM COLLABORATION
Most BIM applications provide ways for sharing of the virtual
building data between the project team members. These can be
further set up as collaboration environments.
For example, internal collaboration between members of one
company can be established as follows:
Create a central database file storing the complete virtual
building information.
Team members work on local copies.
Team members must have dedicated workspaces.
Team members send and receive changes regularly from
the centralized database file.
BIM COLLABORATION
External collaboration between various companies
participating in a project can be established by sharing
the BIM data via different data formats that most BIM
systems support.
These include, for example,
IFC (Industry Foundation Classes)
DXF/DWG (AutoCAD Drawing Exchange
Format/Drawing)
PDF (Portable Document Format)
XML (Extensible Markup Language)
OPEN STANDARDS FOR BIM
OPEN STANDARD-IFC
Industry Foundation Class (IFC) is an ISO Standard (ISO
26739) vendor neutral data format used to describe,
exchange and share information.
IFC was first specified in 1996 by the International
Association for Interoperability (IAI)
The popularly used versions today are (2x2) and (2x3)
The IFC specifications are currently administered by the
buildingSMART alliance

OPEN STANDARS-COBie
Construction Operations Building Information Exchange
(COBie) is an information exchange model that helps
capture information at the point of origin and assures a
smooth transfer of information through the stages of the
facility lifecycle without losing its context.
It contains three types of information; information
created by designers, information created by contractors
and supporting information created by both.
TYPICAL BIM MODELLING AND COLLABORATION PROCEDURES
BIM PLANNING
BIM project planning is based on the fundamental BIM
concepts and includes:
Determining the purpose for the BIM (set project and
process goals).
Developing BIM specifications (choose processes, tools,
and milestones for the work).
Developing the implementation plan for the process
(develop process strategies, select the team, and develop
evaluation and adjustment methods).
DATA SECURITY & SAVING
A data security protocol should be established to prevent
any possible data corruption, virus “infections,” and data
misuse or deliberate damage by project team members,
other employees or outside sources.
Adequate user access right should be established to
prevent data loss or damage during file exchange,
maintenance, and archiving.
BIM project data residing on network servers should be
subjected to regular back-ups.
