Building Information Modelling, BIM in short, has been accepted by a wide range of building services. This is because of the structural engineering, and the other building fraternities have noted the vitality of lean construction and on the fact that BIM modelling can be used in various disciplines.
This has been around for many years, and the new workflows are ready to cuddle to the BIM process. But there are lesser ideas on what can one achieve from this modelling and what can be the optimum result of the BIM process. Here are few ideas thrown on what to expect.
An overview:
BIM modelling can be used only in a certain cases, and not on everything and only to a certain extent. Learning the difference between the parametric BIM models, and the non-BIM 3 D CAD models is necessary. 3D CAD models are the visual representations of the facility and are representations of the visual details.
These can be used for designing, developing, construction and prefabrication of the building. The BIM models, on the contrary, are the intelligent models, which are embedded with the parametric info, which are crucial for the design, development, construction and the prefabrication, and also extends to assembling, analysing the performance, and management of the facility.
When BIM is used, the same can be shared between the various stakeholders, and between the projects. It can also be shared between different facility owners, architects, designers, fabricators, engineers, consultants, and contractors. There are various applications used for the BIM and there are also applications that are used to find if there are clashes existing between different systems.

Know the purpose:
Getting to know the purpose of the model is what you need to know, if you want to decide if the BIM is required for sure in the construction process. Many a times, many people do not understand that simply the CAD models of 3D suffice, but go for the BIM. Where the BIM comes into picture is that when the 3D models are created by this software tool, even when additional details are not given.
The BIM model can be the basis for the various stages of creating a design, say planning, development, construction and managing a specific facility. BIM involves the various professionals from different disciplines working on it. This is responsible for the data embedded into the system, in a rich way. Everything however, depends a lot on the scope of the project that one handles and the statement of the client.
Based on this, you can expect the BIM to contain information like the building elements and their dimensions. The quantity take off data, costing, prefabrication, time scheduling, and performance of energy too can be seen here. The standards of interoperability and data sharing too form the important factors of using BIM.
You need to professionals across the disciplines, like structural design, civil engineering, steel shop drawing, software professionals and many more to come up with the right designs and models to give people best and top class of products.
