Understanding Building Information Modeling (BIM) in Architecture: Features and Benefits

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a transformative approach in architecture, construction, and facility management. It creates a digital representation of a building's physical and functional characteristics, enhancing communication and interoperability within digital formats. Key features include object-based modeling, increased accuracy and efficiency, cost estimation capabilities, and comprehensive design visualization. BIM facilitates the generation of 2D documents from 3D models and supports parametric modeling for flexible design changes. This innovative method is essential for modern architectural workflows.

  2. Building Information Model/Modeling (BIM) • A BIM is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility(NBIMS, 2008) • Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a new approach to design, construction, and facility management in which a digital representation of the building processis used to facilitate the exchange and interoperability of information in digital format (Eastman, C. et al. 2008)

  3. BIM: Features and Benefits • Modeling not Drawing or Drafting • Increasing accuracy and efficiency in the design, construction, and operation processes • Object-based Modeling • Database of semantically-rich building objects and properties • Computability: cost estimation, energy consumption, etc. • 3D Modeling • Design visualization • Generating 2D construction documents • Parametric modeling engines • Design intent • Design change and options: quick, interactive, early and late design phases
