Definition of BIM
Building Information Modeling (BIM): The process of generating and managing building data during its life cycle. Typically it uses three-dimensional, real-time, dynamic building modeling software to increase productivity in building design and construction. The process produces the Building Information Model, which encompasses building geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, and quantities and properties of building components.

Central Database vs Federated File Structure
Database FederatedBuilt on a database platform that allows the creation of parametric and information-rich objects. Parametric modeling dependencies are automatically updated whenever changes are made and are bi-directional.
• Sequential workflow between modeling and documentation
• Fully parametric• Bi-directional• Central database file structure
Built on a CAD based platform. Uses a federated file structure to develop a composite model to produce construction documents.
• Parallel workflow between modeling and documentation
• Limited parametric• Not bi-directional• Federated file structure

What is the Model Intent?
1.Visualization• Perspectives, Renderings
2.Production• Schedules, Drawings
3.Interference Detection• 3D Clash Detection, 3D coordination with sub-consultants
4.Analysis• Structural, Thermal, Code Compliance
5.End User• Facilities Management, GIS
6.Supply Chain Integration• 4D, 5D Simulation, CNC Fabrication

BIM Process Workflow
Modelers vs. Drafters Designing in the Model Modeling effort over the life of the project
– Increased modeling time up front compared to CAD» DD phase drawings may be “lighter”
– Front end coordination» 3D coordination» Conflict resolutions
BIM in the Design Process
BIM Process Parametric documentation
Each element has parameters Can organize/query parameters in schedules
Previous methods– Symbols and information stored separately– Information duplicated each time it is used
Parameterized– Symbols, 3D geometry, and information stored together– Can locate 3D geometry by searching information and vice
versa– Information stored once can be referenced many times
BIM in the Design Process
Benefits to the Design Parameters contained within model
Data in one location reduces discrepancies on drawings Calculated loads and schedules are automatically
updated to reflect changes on plans and vice versa– Panel schedules– Device counts– Equipment schedules
BIM in the Design Process
Benefits to the Design Visualization enabling design
Verify vertical clearances and mounting heights Determine floor box depths Verify design of systems in 3D
BIM in the Design Process
Coordination of Trades 3D coordination is enabled
Design around other elements in the model Can turn on/off various trades as needed during design
Design information is shared Same model elements used by all trades Can implement automatic notifications of changes

Parametric benefits Global changes
– Can adjust project standards (element symbols, line weights, text heights, general sheet notes, keynotes, revision names/numbers, etc. )
– Vs. per sheet as with CAD projects Issued/revision history Sheet lists

Drawbacks and Limitations Linked models (coordination and data sharing
limitations) Software and network limitations Complex software requires training Evolving technology More coordination time in the design phase is
expected and required by clients GIGO (Garbage in, garbage out) applies
