Summary Building Information Modeling

Summary 7U4X0: Building Information Modeling
BIM Introduction
Building Information Modeling: the creation and use of integrated, coordinated,
consistent, computable information about a building project in design, in
construction and in building operation and management. Mostly used in initiation
and transformation part

ICT  efficiency in manufacturing:
 Automation
 Use of information systems
 Supply chain management
 Collaboration tools

Not in construction industry:
 Many small companies
 Short-term collaboration
 Wages of workers have stagnated
 High share of transformation and maintenance

Cost of inadequate interoperability:
 Avoidance (redundant systems and staff
 Mitigation (reentry of dataf
 Delay (idle employeesf

Linear Programming Method: fnds maximum proft and lowest costs to minimize
and maximize everything

BIM and Parametric Modeling
The complexity of the Property Development Process
Property development process is complex because
 Many phases

,  Large scope: there are diferent levels in size of the projects




System engineering with its sub-systems

 Many levels of detail




The complexity of the Building and Construction Industry
The building and construction industry is complex because
 Inefficient: there is a loss of money every year due to the cost of
inadequate interoperability
 Many knowledge domains: there are a lot of domains in knowledge and
there are many people involved with diferent skills.
 Information and communication: Those people working on the project are
all educated and specialized in diferent domains. A lot of
information/knowledge is available and this makes building and
communication more complex.
