10. BIM what is BIM?
1
BIM is made up of three separate but linked activities:
Building Information Modelling
is a business process that allows all stakeholders to have access to the
same information at the same time through seamless interoperability between
technology platforms
Building Information Model
is the output of the business process, a virtual computer model of a project
that holds selected data (e.g. design, quality, cost, asset etc.)
Building Information Management
provides the benefits that can be derived from the Building Information
Model. These include centralised and visual communication, early
optioneering, sustainability, efficient design, integration of other disciplines, site
control, as built documentation

‘Lonely’ BIM *
‘Social’ BIM
[Image Source – RIBA Seminar, Yorkshire]
* A non-collaborative 3D model produced by a single practice

14. BIM myths
“it will put cost managers out of business”
“bim is revit” “you all have to be in the same room to work on the model”
“implementation is too costly” “it doesn’t have any real benefits”
“requires extensive retraining”
“file sizes are massive”
“you need to replace all hardware” “BIM is all about technology”
“ifc doesn’t work” “renovation projects aren’t suitable”
“consultants will want more fees to produce model information”
“level 2 is just about producing drawings from a model”
“2d is the industry standard” “you need to do all design upfront”
“only one person can work on the model at any one time”
“it’s the future so I don’t need to think about it now”
“it’s a box you can pick up and buy off the shelf”
“it’s only for large projects”
