What is BIM?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process for creating and managing information on a construction project across its lifecycle. It is a collaborative process which results in a Building Information Model which can be used as a design visualization tool, to analyze and optimize workflows, costs, and operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The BIM process enables early stage design collaboration, analysis, and information management. In moving the design and coordination process forward, the cost of any design changes are minimized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The benefit is represented in a graph known as the \u201cMacLeamy curve\u201d which was originally developed to visualize the benefits of an Integrated Design Process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
