What is BIM?

BIM is the process of generating and managing information about a building during its entire life cycle. BIM is a suite of technologies and processes that integrate to form the ‘system’ at the heart of which is a component-based 3D representation of each building element. This replaces traditional design tools currently in use.

Each component is generated from a product library and has embedded information about the product and its placement, material, specification, fire rating, U-value, fittings, finishes, costs, ‘carbon content’ and any special requirements, which is stored in the system.

Key Benefits of BIM:

Early cost certainty
Reduced delivery costs
Reduced operational costs
Green performance
Reduced risk
Predictable planning.
