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.
