Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital process used in architecture, engineering, and construction to create and manage data throughout a building's lifecycle. It involves generating and managing 3D models that represent the physical and functional characteristics of a building, providing a detailed and interactive view. BIM enhances collaboration between project stakeholders by offering a shared platform where architects, engineers, contractors, and clients can work together seamlessly.
Through BIM, teams can simulate, analyze, and optimize building designs, reducing errors, improving efficiency, and cutting costs. Beyond 3D modeling, BIM incorporates time (4D), cost (5D), and lifecycle management (6D), transforming how construction projects are planned, designed, and executed, fostering smarter decision-making and innovation.
