In this, the second part of Ian’s series on Building Information Modelling (BIM) and its various areas of data, referred to as ‘dimensions’, he will focus on the 1st and 2nd Dimensions which are pertaining to the Basic Flat Plan. BIM is the process of managing and generating building data during its complete life cycle to allow full project collaboration and integration.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
‘It (BIM) is an integrated workflow that enables architects and engineers and builders to explore a project digitally before it is built.’
‘1D is the essence of what BIM is about, how it works, what your particular modalities are, how you’re going to use it. In some instances like in the UK government and the US government it is now mandatory.’
‘I remember the story that the engineers head this piece of pipe and it appeared at the beginning of their set of drawings so they didn’t know what it was about so they just drew it through their section of the development. They found that it had been drawn on a piece of paper and had no purpose.’
