SYNOPSIS

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that requires architecture, engineering and construction professional’s expertise and tools to plan, design, create, and operate buildings and infrastructure more efficiently. In developed countries, adoption of BIM has become a trend in most of new development projects.

This is due to the fact that BIM has shown excellent benefits e.g. early clash detection, faster design and construction, precise planning, better visualization at an early stage of the project, higher quality of performed work, better communication in the project, reducing delays and errors during design and construction stage, increasing efficiency and productivity, easy access to information, referrable project life cycle, and improvement of OSH (occupational safety and health).
