The Surging Wave
Commercial Design|January 2017

In conversation with Llewellyn Rozario, founder and MD, UniBIM Services, about how BIM technology is no longer the new kid on the block, as more companies understand its reach and benefits.

The Surging Wave

How is BIM transforming the construction sector?

BIM, or Building Information Modelling, is the process of using three-dimensional models with building information embedded into the model elements. These models are rich in information and enable industry practitioners to make informed and efficient decisions throughout the project’s life cycle. Being able to access critical project information from a single source, in a visually rich 3D environment, enables improved communication between all stakeholders of the project. This is what makes BIM processes widely accepted as the right way to design and build projects. Its use is made mandatory in several regions across the world such as in Singapore, the UK, the Middle East.
