  and construction.

• This concept has changed the way industry
  professionals worldwide think about how
  technology can be applied to building design,
  construction, and management.

• Building Information Modeling supports the
  continuous and immediate availability of project
  design scope, schedule, and cost information that
  is high quality, reliable, integrated, and fully
  coordinated.

Five Competitive Advantages of BIM

• Increased speed of delivery (time saved)

• Better coordination (fewer errors)

• Greater productivity

• Higher-quality work

• New revenue and business opportunities

What Technologies Can Be Used to Implement
Building Information Modeling?
Although building information modeling is an
approach and not a technology, it does require
suitable technology to be implemented
effectively. Examples of some of these
technologies, in increasing order of
effectiveness, include

• Computer Aided Drafting

• Object CAD

• Parametric building modeling
