The initials B.I.M. refer to Building Information Modeling, or in other words, the unified design process, the implementation and management of buildings. All project partners benefit from up-to-date, qualitative information regarding that specific project: its building plans, the building’s construction progress or the project’s general progression and have easy and unrestricted access to them. The goal is to make the design, the construction and the project’s management more accurate and profitable.

A complete B.I.M. project contains information and data for the entire building, from masonry walls to structural elements, even the mechanical systems of the building, the list of material components and supplier data for each specific project are included. The B.I.M. process is now widespread. It aims to facilitate communication between the participating partners of the construction process, to avoid / correct errors long before the beginning of construction and to facilitate the maintenance / repairs of the building.

 The Benefits of BIM for the Building User

 When BIM is involved, there is usually better coordination between the team involved in the design and construction processes. However, BIM’s value can be fully appreciated after the construction is completed, when the owner or manager receives complete and accurate compilation of information regarding the building.
