What is BIM?


BIM – building information modelling – refers to the way we manage information throughout the lifecycle of a project to deliver more efficiently and effectively. It helps ensure we get the right information to the right people, at the right time.


BIM involves the creation of intelligent 3D models that are supported by relevant digital data. It is a ‘virtual project’ that then becomes the single source of information used to inform and assist the client and the project team during the design, construction, and even asset management phases.


BIM brings together three important strands of information management - people, process and technology.


Despite its title, BIM is not limited to use on buildings. It is relevant to a wide range of infrastructure projects.


BIM is underpinned by: • Full and open collaboration throughout the supply chain


• Bringing stakeholders together - including clients, the supply chain and end users. Accurate information, shared across the project, increases efficiency and allows people to make informed decisions about the future of the work


• An holistic approach


Our clients want their buildings, structures and infrastructure to represent good value for money and exceed the expectations of the end users. To help them achieve this we need to be able to see the bigger picture. Using BIM we can put an asset in context, consider the impact it will have on the wider environment in which it sits and incorporate measures that take this into account.
