WHAT IS BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM)?The concept of Building Information Modeling is to model (build) a building in a virtual environment, prior to building it physically, in order to identify problems, and simulate and analyze potential impacts on the construction project. This simulation has the advantage of taking place on a computer using BIM software package.
The Building Information Modeling (BIM) design process in software with parametric components is also called object-based modeling. Parametric object information is information that is part of a specific object in the project model.
Since this information will be contained in each of the model components (or objects), it can also be retrieved and used, and thus constitutes a smart model. This smart model is used to accurately visualize appearance for better communication, and simulate real-world performance for better understanding of important characteristics such as cost, scheduling, and environmental impact.
