Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a 3D model of a building. BIM helps industrial architects and engineers to plan and design facilities and infrastructure. These days software is available to create the digital representation of the building. It is easy for architects and engineers to understand the physical and functional characteristics. A BIM model, as per ISO 19650:2019, is the use of a shared digital representation of a built asset to facilitate design, construction, and operation processes to form a reliable basis for decisions. A BIM model helps the clients, architects, engineers, contractors and vendors to work within timelines and budgets. BIM also helps in multidisciplinary coordination. Advantages of BIM in industrial projects: The client quickly understands by viewing the project in a BIM model Collaboration on BIM is easier for architects and engineers There are lesser clashes between disciplines. The project team can create multiple options and choose the best option Iterations across disciplines are easier The team can check for Bottlenecks. Bill of Quantity preparation by the group is easier and more accurate. To conclude, the BIM model is beneficial for architects, engineers and industrial design consultants.
