Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process that generates and manages information about a building during its entire lifecycle including planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and demolition. BIM is a suite of technologies, standards, and processes that integrate to form a realistic 3D representation of the physical and functional components of a building. BIM technology allows an accurate virtual model of a building to be constructed digitally. BIM offers interoperability of information for building construction and facility maintenance and is therefore primarily a process by which you generate and manage building data. It typically uses three-dimensional, real-time, dynamic building-modeling software to manage and increase productivity in building design and construction. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and BIM integration offers more efficient projects and better outcomes for communities.
