Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Building information modeling combines digital representations of a built asset with structured information used through design, construction and operation.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
BIM (Building Information Modeling) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that gives architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals the insight and tools to more efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure
Objects carry relationships and attributes beyond visual geometry. Discipline models must share suitable coordinates, versions and information requirements.
Coordination and information exchange determine practical value. A three-dimensional model alone does not establish a complete BIM workflow.
What turns activity into demand
Demand follows projects and organisations adopting coordinated digital delivery. Authoring software, coordination platforms, model creation and project services have separate revenue.
The commercial boundary
Authoring software, coordination platforms, model creation and project services have separate revenue.
