Abstract
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an advanced digital technology and collaborative process that has revolutionized the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. By facilitating the creation, management, and sharing of multi-dimensional digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of buildings and infrastructure, BIM enhances project planning, design, construction, and operation. BIM integrates geometric data, spatial relationships, material properties, and operational details into a unified model accessible to all stakeholders, enabling real-time collaboration, decision-making, and error reduction. Its adoption has been driven by its ability to streamline workflows, improve cost estimation, and reduce project delays through early clash detection and predictive analytics. BIM supports a wide range of applications, including 4D scheduling, 5D cost estimation, and life-cycle assessment, aligning with sustainable design practices and efficient facility management. Furthermore, BIM is pivotal in advancing smart cities and infrastructure by enabling seamless data integration across urban systems. However, challenges such as high initial implementation costs, steep learning curves, and interoperability issues with legacy systems remain barriers to widespread adoption. Emerging technologies like cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality are poised to further enhance BIM capabilities, making it indispensable in the digital transformation of the AEC sector. This paper explores the evolution, core functionalities, and future prospects of BIM, with a focus on its impact on productivity, sustainability, and innovation in the built environment.
