The process which involves the management and generation of digital representations of functional and physical characteristics of different places is known as building information modelling or BIM. Often not available in proprietary formats and containing proprietary data, BIMs are files which can be transferred or networked or exchanged to support the decision making job of a place.
Many current BIM software are used by individuals, government agencies and/or businesses who deal with planning, designing, constructing, operating and maintaining many different physical infrastructures ranging from water, electricity, gas and refuses to large scale infrastructures such as roads, bridges and ports. It also details the various infrastructural capabilities of schools, shops, factories, houses, apartments, etc.
The official definition of BIM modelling, submitted by the US National Building Model Standard Project Committee is as follows –
“Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of facility. A BIM is a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during it life cycle; defined as existing from earliest conception to total demolition.
The concept of BIMs has been in existence since the 1970s. The term BIM came in to origin from a paper submitted by G.A. van Nederveen and F.P. Tolman in the year 1992. But the terms Building Information Model, Building Information Modelling and the acronym BIM were not popularised until the 2002, when the company Autodesk released a white paper titled “Building Information Modelling”. Jerry Laiserin helped popularize the term. According to him and other working in the same line of work, the first implementation of BIM modelling was done under the Virtual Building concept which was developed by Graphisoft’s modelling software ArchiCAD, in the year 1987. In India, BIM modelling is also known as Virtual Design and Construction and is an emerging job market here.
