BIM - Building Information Modeling
It is a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a building or infrastructure. BIM is a collaborative process that involves the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places. These digital representations, or models, are used for decision-making about a facility throughout its lifecycle, from conceptualization through construction and operation to demolition.
BIM has become a standard practice in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, as well as in facility management. It has the potential to improve efficiency, reduce errors, and enhance collaboration throughout the entire lifecycle of a building or infrastructure project.
