About BIM
Building information modeling (BIM) is a building design and documentation methodology based on coordinated, reliable high quality information. It enables design and construction teams to create and manage information about a building project consistently and reliably across the scope of the project.
The information is stored in a single building model. This ensures that the information is coordinated, consistent, and complete.

Definition of BIM
· BIM is an integrated process that allows professionals to explore a
project’s key physical and functional characteristics digitally before it is
built.
· BIM is the process of generting and managing building data during
it's cycle, it uses 3-Dimensional, real time, dynamic building modeling
SOFTWARE to increase productivity in building design, consrtruction
and maintenance period, "A change any where is a change every
where".
· BIM is a process which goes far beyond switching to a new software.
It requires changes to the definition of traditional architectural
phases and more data sharing than most architects and engineers are
used to.
· BIM according to AIA as a model based technology linked with
database of project information.
· The 3D representation of models with models with building
information gets the power of BIM.

Advantage of using BIM
· Interoperability.
· Improved visualization.
· Improved productivity due to easy retrieval of information.
· Increased coordination of construction documents.
· Embedding and linking of vital information such as vendors for specific
materials, location of details and quantities required for estimation and
tendering.
· Increased speed of delivery.
· Reduced costs, minimize waste on-site.
· Eliminates human errors.
· Automating quantifying.
