BIM - Building Information Modelling corresponds to the processes used in the creation and the management of data related to the life cycle of buildings. Typically it makes use of three-dimensional parametric software used to increase productivity.

 

The most common result of this process is the creation of the "Virtual Building" (Building Information Model - BIM) which covers, among other things, the building geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, quantities and characteristics of the building components, energy information, in short, a simulation of reality.

Advantages of BIM

 

- Reduce costs in the development of the project through a unified integrated and rigorous database, improving the communication flow;

​

- Visualize Building data, be it geometrical or alpha-numerical;

​

- Monitor all phases of the process: concept, design development, construction and management, with a correspondent 3D visualization;

​

- Prevent project incompatibilities within the different disciplines involved;

​

- Improve cost control of construction by developing accurate cost estimates, through the rigorous quantification of all building components;

​

- Monitor and quantify existing Real Estate Assets; 

​

- Enhance maintenance savings through rigorous, integrated databases.
