BIM = Building Information Modeling is…

  1) a process for project delivery

      (how a team works together to design, build and operate a building)

  2) information management

      (data contributed to and shared by all project participants)

      (the right information to the right person at the right time)

  3) leveraging technology – integrated solutions

      (encouraging creativity, providing more feedback, empowering a team)

BIM characteristics are…

  1) encompassing the entire lifecycle of the building

      (program, design, building, operate, decommission)

  2) all information about the building and it’s lifecycle

      (contracts, specifications, drawings, budgets, operational procedures)

  3) defining and simulating the building, its delivery, operation

      (engineering analysis, construction sequencing, space use, maintenance)

BIM benefits include…

  1) save time by minimizing redundancy of information creation and management

  2) reduce design errors through better building systems coordination

  3) optimize project schedules through early identification of design issues

  4) improve quality through better understanding of design

  5) reduce misinterpretation through improved communication of design intent

  6) focus on design not documentation

※ BIM에 대한 정의.. 눈을 씻고 찾아봐도 이 이상은 없을 듯…ㅎㅎ (5/10에 Solution day에 발표하기로 했는데 괜히 그랬다는 생각이 좀 드는 요즘이다. 쩝..)
