The BIM process


The Building Information Modelling (BIM) process and technologies have been developed specifically with these problems in mind and have been very successful in resolving them. BIM is a business process supported by technology, which itself is optimised by deploying the process. While traditional methods use technology in isolation, the BIM process uses technology in collaboration.

With the take up of BIM growing daily, the construction industry is going through change which many construction professionals believe will revolutionise the industry. Whilst adoption is increasing the actual level of BIM, the use is mostly limited to quantity take off and coordination of multi-discipline activities at the office. However, the use of the different ‘BIM uses’ is slowly but surely growing including project management and construction sequencing. The full impact of BIM in the construction industry sector is yet to be realised.
