5 Name That TLA!

6 Ok, Fun Now Let s Talk.. BIM: Building Information Modeling BIM is NOT a product, data format or vendor owned initiative a monolithic 3D model or GIS database BIM is a process that must be understood and embraced by people and supported by IT systems BIM cannot be bought, it must be adopted and successfully implemented BIM is not limited to vertical construction BIM vs. CIM

8 BIM vs. CIM BIM is a collaborative way of working that facilitates early supply chain involvement, underpinned by the digital technologies which unlock more efficient methods of designing, creating and maintaining our assets BIM provides a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of an asset to support reliable decision making and management of information during its life-cycle. At its core BIM uses 3D models and a common data environment to access and share information efficiently across the supply chain and so boost the efficiency of activities around asset delivery and operation. By helping the entire supply chain to work from a single source of information, BIM reduces the risk of error and maximises the team ability to innovate.

9 BIM vs. CIM The term civil integrated management has been adopted in recent years to encompass an assortment of practices and tools entailing collection, organization, and management of information in digital formats about highway or other transportation construction projects, that is, horizontal construction. The term derives from similar practices used in production of building structures vertical construction under the umbrella term building information modeling (BIM), so called because these practices entailed generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places.
