Building Information Modeling

Scope Note: Building information modeling (BIM) is a new way of approaching the design and documentation of building projects.

  • Building - the entire lifecycle of the building is considered (design/build/operations)
  • Information - all information about the building and its lifecycle is included
  • Modeling - defining and simulating the building, its delivery, and operation using integrated tools
