Study Notes

Building Information Modeling (BIM)

BIM is a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a building or infrastructure project.

Physical Infrastructures

BIM software can be used to plan, design, construct, operate, and maintain various physical infrastructures, including:
- Buildings
- Roads
- Bridges
- Tunnels
- Rail and transit systems
- Airports
- Seaports
- Water treatment and wastewater management systems

History of BIM

The term "Building Information Modeling" (BIM) became an agreed-upon term in 2002.

BIM Process

The BIM process is supported by:
- Data standards
- Interoperability standards
- Collaborative working methodologies
- A range of software tools and platforms

Development and Adoption of BIM

The development of standards and the adoption of BIM have progressed through:
- The publication of the UK Government's BIM Strategy in 2011
- The establishment of the UK BIM Task Group in 2011
- The launch of the Nibs (National Institute of Building Sciences) BIM Standards in 2006
- The development of industry-specific standards and guidelines
