CHARACTERISTICS OF BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING (BIM)

Building information modeling has the following characteristics:
1.         A BIM model is a parametric, relational database that ties together multiple layers of information about specify objects-every objects in the building.
            “Clicking” on a door in a BIM model reveals not only on doors material, color fire rating cost and manufacture.  The model also provide parallel detailed information about every items it touches such as the door frame and hardware. The model can also stone information far beyond design and construction details and become the owners central building operations and maintenance data source.
For example it can indicate maintenance and replacement information for these door or any piece of the building. Clicking on a door in BIM model and you are not clicking on a line that delineates the edges you are clicking on a graphic representation of a living three dimensional object with access to a rich supporting date base of specifics about the object.


2.         A BIM Models is “Smart”   A change to a component is reflected in all the component it relates to for example, an interior wall might be lightened so too will the structure behind that wall and the quantity of studs, sheet reek and so on. Though you might see only the longer wall in the view you are taking, all views and analysis that use that object will change (or flagged for change by their owner) as well. By making the change, not only the new changes but also the information n the database which drives the model, and those views and analysis all use the some database.

3.         A BIM Model Offers a Constant 3D Representation  of the building 
            Because all the information in a BIM model is three dimensional, a 3D view of the building, from any angle, at any section (or slice through the building) can be generated at any time during the design process and in the said programme the designers and express and already working in data dies not need to see exported to a rendering programme and colored up.

4.         A BIM model is an Intelligent tool that can be used   for Study and Analysis Across Multiple Disciples.                                        
            Because these elements are smart, the walls and glazing contain information about thermal conductivity, the mechanical equipment relating to energy use etc the BIM model can be used to simulate a buildings behaviour and be the bases of numerous analysis, such as energy calculation for another example, an acoustical engineer, with information about geometry and surface materials can use BIM to model acoustic performance.

5.         A BIM Model is a Permanent lining Documents                 
            Before BIM, the owner of a new building would receive a set of as-built drawings and a shelf of operation binders, all of which would often gather dust until needed. With Bim, all the information is not only in one place, but can be an active management tool and adopt with the building. The model com contain the same information about a new data cabling system installed in 2027 (and all of its relationship) as it does for the data cabling originally installed in 2007.
