What is “BIM”

A BIM is a digital model of a building in which information about a project is stored. It can be 3D, 4D (integrating time) or even 5D (including cost)

Why “BIM”• BIM communicate design concepts to the owner • BIM can be used as a database throughout the life of the building. • It can generate as-built floor plans and elevations

– Unique outcomes• Clash detection• Heat Analysis• Global Co-ordination and Solar Movement• Constructability of complex geometries…

– Improved Outcomes• Coordinated drawings• Improved prefabrication• More accurate costs…• Code checking

Clash Detection

Why “BIM”

Heat Analysis (Sensible Heat)

Why “BIM”

Solar Analysis (latent Heat)

How “BIM” works

• To make “BIM” you have to input data throw a specified software to process the data and make a BIM for the project– Each Discipline inputs data to the project– The BIM co-ordinates all data from each Discipline – Each Discipline extracts the co-ordinated data

needed out of the BIM

How “Revit” worksTo insure that data is fully co-ordinated between all disciplines

BIM is only one file

Conclusion

• The change to using BIM had significant changes on our projects set up. It encouraged us to re-visit and improve our methods in delivering projects.

• Effective implementation of BIM enabled us to maintain our high quality projects while adding real value to the design and construction process.
