Interpreting dimensions of the BIM methodology

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the process of creating intelligent information models containing both graphical and non-graphical information in a Common Data Environment (CDE) (a shared repository for digital project information). The information that is created becomes ever more detailed as a project progresses with the completion of dataset then handed to the client at the completion to use in the building’s In Use phase and potentially on into a decommissioning phase.
