What is Building Information Modelling (BIM)?

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a digital process used for planning, designing, constructing, and managing buildings and infrastructure. It utilizes a shared 3D model containing information about the project, including geometry, materials, costs, and performance data. BIM assists teams in visualizing, coordinating, and analyzing project details throughout its lifecycle.

BIM: A Methodology

It's a methodology that manages the entire building information lifecycle from planning to construction to operation and beyond. It integrates data from various disciplines, including architecture, engineering, and construction, to create a comprehensive and collaborative workflow.

What is a Parametric Model?

Parametric models allow for adjustable parameters, enabling users to modify the 3D structure of a design by changing specific values. These models are highly flexible and adaptable, allowing for rapid iteration and exploration of different design options.

What is IFC (Industry Foundation Class)?

The Industry Foundation Class (IFC) is a standardized format for object-based data exchange in the building industry. It allows different software applications to share and understand information about building elements, ensuring interoperability and collaboration between various software programs.

What is 7D BIM?

7D BIM refers to the seven dimensions of Building Information Modelling. These dimensions include: 1D (Time), 2D (Drawing Plans), 3D (Geometric Model), 4D (Construction Scheduling), 5D (Cost Estimation), 6D (Facility Management) and 7D (Sustainability). When applied together, these dimensions provide a comprehensive view of the project's entire lifecycle.
