BIM Research and Study
Understanding BIM’s role as a data-driven technology in the AEC industry
BIM project phases:
• Plan – Use reality capture and data for project context models
• Design – Concept, analysis, documentation, and logistics planning
• Build – Fabrication and construction coordination
• Operate – BIM data carried into operations, maintenance, renovation, and deconstruction
BIM Modeling (Architecture, Structure & MEP)
Architecture data: planning, documentation, visualization, coordination
Structure data: 3D reinforcement modeling, detailed workflows, steel and concrete documentation, structural analysis export
MEP data: integrated design, interference detection, fabrication modeling, systems documentation
