| Abstract: |
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is all the rage these days, but hardly anyone understands what it really means. Even internationally, BIM has different meanings. The BIM method is important for future construction projects, so we need to know how BIM is understood in an international context. This paper briefly outlines BIM's origins, followed by a definition of its meaning. For some countries, it shows which organization is responsible for the BIM definitions and which initiatives exist to inform about the application of BIM. Some terms and abbreviations that are important when working with BIM are explained. Use cases are explained, and a reference to software tools is given. This paper will help people and organizations start using the BIM method for everyday use. The BIM method is only one part of the digitalisation process in the construction industry, but it can help organize information and implement an efficient way of collaboration with different disciplines. |
