Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the process of developing a virtual, three-dimensional,
information-rich model to design, construct, and maintain a building project. BIM
is much more than software used to produce a pretty 3D graphic. Because a variety
of information can be embedded into the model, BIM can also be used to manage the
project’s Building Approval; construction schedule (4D); to track project costs
(5D); and, once constructed, facility management (6D)
