What is building information modeling (BIM)?
Building information modeling (BIM) is the creation and use of coordinated, internally consistent, computable information about a building project in design and construction. The ability to keep this information up-to-date and accessible in an integrated digital environment gives architects, designers, engineers, builders, and owners a clear overall vision of their projects and contributes to the ability to make better decisions faster, helping increase project quality and profitability.
