BIM

BIM basics

BIM method is the complexity of technologies, procedures and policies which enable the collaboration between parties involved into building construction and operation in the virtual space. Beyond the 3D modeling, BIM includes the meta-data management stored in the model which enable to individually identify, list and methodyze each model element. This additional information ensures the flow of latest information, the instantaneous and efficient data visulization and management.

More then a 3D modell

The acronym “BIM” is derived from the initials of “Building Information Modeling” methodology. Nowadays “M” is rather associated to “Management,” which refers to a complex process where, in addition to modeling and providing model elements with attributes, a BIM model supports daily work the building in the entire lifecycle of the building.
The most important period for the operators is the actual use, which is marked with the term "BIM 6D", including the 3D model with the necessary details, the descriptions and parameters of the FM business processes and elements.

BIM based software

Many CAFM solutions are "BIM" compatible, however, in fact there are two significantly different practices.
  • Most of them are capable of reading IFC models normally created by BIM, thought additional features can not be considered as BIM compatible one.
  • Only few systems are able to manage those functions that meet the expectations required in a BIM model.
The reason is that standardization has not taken place yet, only some general BIM descriptions refer to it.

BIM feasibility model

Using BIM enable that instead of multiple feasibility documentation, facility operators have access to the requested data in a single BIM implementation model.
In order to take adventge from BIM, the contractor have to know in whic form the hand over shall be done at the end of the contstruction.
  • How detailed the model should be?
  • How the logbook data should be entered into the system?
  • Does Bim model include any maintennce concept?
