Building information modeling is the most exciting development in construction in a generation and is transforming the way projects are designed and built. By creating a three-dimensional virtual simulation of a construction project, BIM has the potential to revolutionize construction by reducing costs, increasing quality, reducing conflicts and even achieving designs that would be impossible without this technology. In the very near future, BIM will overwhelm the construction industry and become the standard of practice for design and construction in the 21st century.
BIM is a technology that uses construction information to form a three-dimensional simulation of a construction project. BIM does not provide just a three-dimensional depiction of a construction project. Rather, BIM creates a digital simulation of a structure that can be digitally viewed, tested, modified, redesigned, constructed and deconstructed.
