Building Information Modelling, better known as BIM, is the future of the construction industry. In basic terms, using BIM, a building is digitally designed from the ground up in three dimensions (3D). The major players – contractors and designers, architects and engineers – work using one data platform, one common language, one 3D design.
The fundamental building blocks are the same for every project, even if the overlays are changed to suit specific buildings. Think of it like gigantic virtual Lego pieces: at the heart of our BIM system, we have a series of very common Lego blocks that form the core of the design. Then, like Lego, we assemble these blocks into sets – we make a hospital set, an airport set, a prison set, a commercial building set.…
