Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process that involves the creation and maintenance of digital representations of physical and functional features of places and is supported by a variety of tools, technologies, and contracts. Building Information Models (BIMs) are computer files that may be retrieved, transferred, or networked to assist decision-making about a constructed asset (often but not always in proprietary formats and including proprietary data). Individuals, corporations, and government organizations use BIM software to plan, design, construct, manage, and maintain buildings and a wide range of physical infrastructures, including water, waste, electricity, gas, communication utilities, roads, railroads, bridges, ports, and tunnels.
