Building Information Modelling (BIM) is gaining increasing recognition globally not just as a transformative tool during the design and construction stages of building projects, but also as a vital resource in the maintenance and operations phase.
The insights into how BIM enables these advantages can be gleaned from a wide array of sources that showcase its versatile applications extending beyond construction. Utilising BIM throughout a building's lifecycle, spanning from the initial design phase to continuous maintenance, empowers the industry to unlock its complete potential in boosting efficiency, enhancing the effectiveness and accuracy of operational management, and extending the longevity of buildings for the future.
THE EVOLUTION OF BIM
The evolution of BIM signifies a fundamental change in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sectors. It marks a shift from conventional two-dimensional drafting to intricate multi-dimensional models.
The journey commenced in the 1970s with the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) systems, establishing the foundation for digitally representing the physical and functional attributes of increasingly detailed building plans.
The 1980s and 1990s brought about more progress as technology became not only more widespread, but also more complex. The turning point emerged in the early 2000s with the advent of software capable of supporting intricate geometries and data-rich models. The evolution of BIM is defined by its increasing capacity to integrate and analyse vast volumes of data throughout various stages of the building lifecycle, from initial planning to demolition, fostering unparalleled collaboration among stakeholders.
