3. Introduction
Over the past few years,
Building Information
Modelling has become
one of the hottest topics
in construction. Here are
three fundamentals:

4. Let’s be clear about BIM
BIM is a process
It holds vastly more
information than just
the 3D geometry.
BIM is global team work
It lets all users work
collaboratively, in real time.
The “I” is central to BIM
BIM is all about information;
how it‟s captured and how
it‟s made available.
So how to describe BIM?
Part people. Part process.
Part software. And
all collaboration.

5. The BIM boom:
2,600% growth in three years
In 2009, less than 10,000
BIM model files were
being managed on the
Aconex system. By late
2012, there were more
than 270,000 – some
2,600% growth.
The size of the models
has also nearly doubled
over the past five years.

6. Believe the hype:
Better projects with BIM

7. The promise of BIM:
Better lifecycle management
BIM brings full lifecycle
management within reach.
As information is passed
from team to team along
the phases of a project,
there is often information
“leakage”.
Collaborative BIM promises
to ensure that all information
is seamlessly transitioned
from one phase to another,
resulting in an asset with
a far richer set of information,
and of greater value.
