A smart 3D computer model of a building that stores all design, construction, and operational data in one place.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital process for creating and managing intelligent 3D models that contain geometric, functional, and data-rich information about a building or infrastructure project throughout its lifecycle. BIM enables coordination between design disciplines, clash detection before construction, quantity takeoff, scheduling (4D), and cost management (5D). The level of development (LOD) defines how detailed and reliable the model information is.
The project team used BIM coordination to run weekly clash detection meetings, resolving 847 MEP conflicts before the first pipe was installed.
