Building Information Modeling, Bim, 4D Bim, 5D bim

PRLog (Press Release) - Apr 20, 2009 -
An arguable technological breakthrough in the construction field, BIM or Building Information Modeling is continuously emerging as the most feasible and reliable option available in the building construction industry. With the advent of BIM, building design, construction and management has become an easier and cost effective task than ever before.

A BIM (Building Information Modeling) is the creation of parametric, or intelligent, 3D models instead of 2D perspective ‘un-intelligent’ drawings. A BIM operates on a digital database and any change made to this database is reflected throughout the entire drawing. This allows everyone involved in the building lifecycle – architects, engineers, contractors, developers, and building owners - to sync together allowing them to view the model in different ways and seamlessly share information.
