Technology advances instigated transition of design medium from 2D


paper-based drawings to 3D digital models on computer screen - led to the
introduction of Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Matta et al (2006) - there exist progression from 2D to 3D, 4D, and BIM
3D models make valuable contributions to communications, not all 3D
models qualify as BIM models
3D

geometry is only part of the BIM


M = geometry
I = information shared to generate feedback and for decision making
B = building (of course)

BIM in AEC

Generic term used to describe advanced 3D CAD


technology for modeling and managing buildings and
information related to them. BIM models are
differentiated from traditional CAD systems in that the
software objects in a BIM model are intelligible to
computer programs as representations of real-world
building components, unlike the graphic objects in a
two-dimensional CAD file (Sacks et al, 2005).
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) defines BIM
as a model-based technology linked with a database
of project information. BIM covers geometry, spatial
relationships, geographic information, quantities and
properties of building components. (http://
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_Information_Modeling)

A basic premise of BIM is collaboration by different


stakeholders during different phases of project life cycle
to insert, extract, update or modify information in the
BIM process to support and reflect the roles of that
stakeholder (NBIMS Project Committee, 2006)
BIM was conceived to remedy the problem of
fragmentation and error by creating a system to house or
manage all of the information needed in a particular
project in a single repository that could be accessed by all
project participants and readily incorporated into all
project documents (Cyon Research, 2003; Khemlani,
2003)
