What is BIM?
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a foundational, intelligent model-based process for AEC business and industry transformation
Model-based
Uses 3D models to capture, explore, and maintain consistent and coordinated planning, design, construction, and operational data.
Insightful
Provides greater project insight for cost, schedule, and constructability.
Consistent
Uses and shares the same consistent data whether you’re at your desk or in the field.
Responsive
Enables prompt response to change with processes that are smarter and faster.
Current State of the Industry
Problems Builders Face
%
