Building Information Modelling
A New Approach to Design, Quantification, Costing, and Schedule Management with Case Studies
This chapter examines the relatively new concept of building information modelling (BIM). It starts with a definition and discussion of the concept of BIM, followed by a discussion on the need for better integration and dataflow. The BIM approach and its implications for design, costing and quantification and the challenges it presents the current professional teams and constructors, together with possible effects on the approaches to design economics, are discussed. A unified BIM database integrates input from design, estimating, scheduling, and on‐site production data. This live dataset provides immediate feedback and analysis whenever new information becomes available and allows stakeholders to better understand the impact of new data on the project as a whole. BIM dramatically enhances the understanding of the design and actual construction and provides the ability to perform value engineering to optimise the design.
