From Conception to Demolition – The World of Building Information Modeling (BIM)

by Rebekah Valero-Lee on 21th February 2018

What is BIM?

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that equips architecture, engineering, and construction professionals with the insight and tools to more efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure. This process, made up of levels of BIM maturity, allows for more efficient methods of designing, delivering and maintaining the assets throughout their entire lifecycle. BIM Level 2 is the recommended target for all central procurement government projects.
