Building Information Modeling-A Quick Overview
Journal Title: Current Trends in Civil & Structural Engineering (CTCSE) - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
According to the US national building information model standard project committee, “Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility.” The American institute of architects has defined BIM as “a model-based technology linked with a database of project information”. As BIM method is still evolving, there is not yet a unique single standard for it. The UK has introduced some guidelines for BIM implementation as opposed to the US, which left it to the users in a competitive way in order to enhance and advance BIM based on the construction demand.
