It takes many activities and skills to bring the
ideas and designs of Architects/Engineers to
fulfilment. Building Information Modelling
(BIM) attempts to standardise the creation and
exchange of information to make the design,
construction and operational management of
a facility or infrastructure asset more efficient.
It is important to note that BIM is not just
about buildings, but in its wildest context is
being applied to facility, building, road, railway,
and infrastructure projects. It is also now very
much impacting organisations throughout
the supply chain including manufacturers,
fabricators and interior designers.
The word ‘building’ in itself also doesn’t
necessarily describe the full scope of a project
– it doesn’t cover policies, assumptions,
strategic decisions, supply chain, specification,
user assessment, regulation and recycling
sustainability. All are key parts of the projects
‘information model’ and should be included in
the creation of the facility or asset information
as the project progresses.
BIM covers all aspects of the project lifecycle
and is being driven by UK Government, to
ensure that all public sector projects are
under-pinned by the creation, collation and
exchange or shared 3D models and intelligent
structured data that is attached to them.
UK Government has defined a minimum
requirement for Level 3 BIM by 2016, which
defines a series of domain models and the
provision of a single electronic environment to
store shared data and information.
UK Government has defined a minimum
