BIM and related technology

BIMBuilding Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility (a Digital Twin). Ideally, the BIM model is a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle accessed, and developed by the various design professionals involved in the facility, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers constructing the facility, and the owners and operators during the life of the facility through to its demolition (or re-purposing).

BIM has the capability to be an intelligent model-based process that gives architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals the insight and tools they need to more efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure.

WP: BIM = Building Information Modelling. BIM is a game changing evolution in the way the ‘built environment’ is designed, built and maintained through life to the eventual decommissioning and either renovation or demolition of the structure. this White Paper offers a concise overview of the technology.

Art: BIM in Australia. Australia desperately needs effective leadership from the Federal Government, supported by the States and Territories to reap the benefits and savings achieved by a coordinated implementation of BIM. This article offers a brief overview of the situation as at May 2022. 

DP: Government Procurement A Sovereign Security Imperative. Report of the Australian government, March 2022. Recommendation 7 'digital by default' focuses on the use of BIM.

UK BIM implementation map. The Roadmap is owned by BSI committee B555 Construction design, modelling and data exchange, which brings together leading institutions and organizations around the BIM agenda to support the delivery of clear guidance to the UK industry dedicated to providing and operating built assets.

Prs: Projects controls using integrated data. This presentation outlines the future of project controls as an integrated part of an overall project information system using remote sensing, virtual reality and other emerging technologies.
