 1.1 BIM Concept
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and
functional characteristics of a facility. A BIM is a shared knowledge resource for
information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle;
defined as existing from earliest conception to demolition.

A basic premise of BIM is collaboration by different stakeholders at different phases of

the life cycle of a facility to insert, extract, update or modify information in the BIM to
support and reflect the roles of that stakeholder.

National BIM Standard – United States, BuildingSMART allianceTM

 1.1 BIM Concept
Building information modeling (BIM) is a process involving the generation and management of digital
representations of physical and functional characteristics of places.

Building information models (BIMs) are files (often but not always in proprietary formats and containing
proprietary data) which can be extracted, exchanged or networked to support decision-making regarding
a building or other built asset. Current BIM software is used by individuals, businesses and government
agencies who plan, design, construct, operate and maintain diverse physical infrastructures, such as
water, refuse, electricity, gas, communication utilities, roads, railways, bridges, ports and tunnels.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a set of technologies, processes and policies enabling multiple
stakeholders to collaboratively design, construct and operate a facility in virtual space. (CIC BIM
Dictionary, 2020)

BIM or Building Information Modelling is a process for creating and managing information on a
construction project across the project lifecycle. (NBS, 2020)

1.1 BIM Concept

1.1.1 BIM definitions and terminology

• Building information modeling (BIM) is a process involving the

generation and management of digital representations of physical
and functional characteristics of places.

• Building information models (BIMs) are files (often but not always in
proprietary formats and containing proprietary data) which can be
extracted, exchanged or networked to support decision-making
regarding a building or other built asset. Current BIM software is
used by individuals, businesses and government agencies who plan,
design, construct, operate and maintain diverse physical
infrastructures, such as water, refuse, electricity, gas, communication
utilities, roads, railways, bridges, ports and tunnels.
1.1.1 BIM definitions and terminology

• In layman terms, BIM is a ….

“Rehearsal” - putting real
work objects into virtual
world, test before you build.

BIM Project Life Cycle

 1.1.1 BIM definitions and terminology

• Building Information Modeling (BIM) is

fundamentally transforming modes of design
practice and standards of building design, delivery,
and operation.
• BIM is not CAD. In some respects BIM is a natural
progression in the evolution of
• computer supported practice. However, much more
so than CAD, BIM is revolutionizing the way the
building partners practice and document their work,
even changing the nature of the design process.

 1.1.7 Limitation of BIM

• BIM DISADVANTAGES
1. To be effective you need all major members
of design team on significantly earlier than
is often the case.

2. BIM is more of a philosophy and not just a

piece of software. Many people don’t
understand this. Construction is often slow
to understand and embrace change.
L1
 1.1.7 Limitation of BIM

• BIM DISADVANTAGES
3. New protocols will be needed for managing
information transfer and commenting, potentially
new roles such as BIM Coordinators (much more
than a document handler)

4. Problems over information ownership and

design responsibility within the model.

L1
 1.1.8 Challenges within existing working
practices & how BIM addresses these
• In design stage, designer use BIM to build the
model. In order to obtain the Information (Size,
material, brand, etc..). The ability to impact
cost and performance and effort in BIM
workflow will be high at the beginning.

• To transfer information model from design

stage to construction stage, the effort of
drafting-centric workflow will be high.

• In construction stage, as the information of

BIM model keep in changes, the cost of
design changes is high.

industry
BIM ADVANTAGES
• 3D collaboration with all members of the team with
automated detection of clashes. e.g. Is the service
void designed by the architect sufficient for the M&E
services.

• Visualization of projects to enable greater

understanding of all members of the team. For
example, it is far easier to schedule scaffolding
requirements looking at a 3D model than in 2D.

• 4D visualization i.e. linking the 3D model to the

programme to explore logistics.

67
 1.1.9 How BIM affect the current practice in ACEO
industry
BIM ADVANTAGES
• Faster to incorporate change into a Revit (3D) CAD
layout as no need to update loads of individual
drawings.

• 5D potential introducing costs into elements of model

e.g electronic drawing take-off.

• Ability to incorporate additional information into

model elements e.g maintenance and life span
information for Facilities Management or
sustainability information, etc

What is ‘building information modelling according to the ISO 19650 series’?

‘Building information modelling (BIM) according to the ISO 19650 series’ is

about getting benefit through better specification and delivery of just the
right amount of information concerning the design, construction, operation
and maintenance of buildings and infrastructure, using appropriate
technologies.

The ultimate result would be the efficiencies gained through reduction of

waste/rework in the design, construction, operation and maintenance
activities plus

 1.2.3.3 OpenBIM

At some stage we want to share our model with the project team. If we
issue the native model, the receiving party must have the same or
compatible software to view it. They can also make changes to the
model without our knowing. However, if we publish the model in an
open exchange format, like IFC, the model data is freely viewable –
measurable and usable. But the model content is protected. Changes
cannot be made in an IFC file. They are made back in the original
modelling software.

 1.2.3.3 OpenBIM

Why should my organization join OPEN BIM?

• Organizations all over the world have been encountering the collaboration issues
detailed above. Different collaboration strategies have been used to address them,
including in many cases open collaboration workflow. At the same time, open
collaboration practices were used more as a necessity in a plural AEC environment rather
then an intentional strategy to deliver better-coordinated projects.
• The OPEN BIM movement elevates open collaboration to a strategic level where like-
minded AEC professionals build
• upon their plurality to deliver better coordinated building projects, with less errors and in
higher quality.
• Should you or your organization share these values, joining the OPEN BIM movement not
only provides you with guidelines and best practices but also with common branding
and international visibility to leverage and maximize the value of your projects. OPEN
COLLABORATION → BETTER BIM!

Creating model data in a native format is called nativeBIM. If we

exchange this model data with an open standard, such as IFC, then we
are in openBIM.

Mixed Reality (MR)

Mixed reality is an overlay of synthetic content on the real world that is
anchored to and interacts with the real world—picture surgeons overlaying
virtual ultrasound images on their patient while performing an operation,
for example. The key characteristic of MR is that the synthetic content and
the real-world content are able to react to each other in real time.

2.2.12 Application Programming
Interface (API)
 2.2.12 API
An application programming interface (API) is a connection between
computers or between computer programs. It is a type of software
interface, offering a service to other pieces of software. A document or
standard that describes how to build such a connection or interface is
called an API specification. A computer system that meets this standard is
said to implement or expose an API. The term API may refer either to the
specification or to the implementation.
