Introduction to BIM (Building Information Modelling)

[Music] hello everyone i hope you are well i am dr elham del sander senior lecturer in digital built environment at birmingham city university i'm also the course leader of architectural technology program in this series of videos i'm going to talk about building information modeling and digital project delivery [Music] today we're going to learn about bim or building information modeling one of the advancements in construction technology that the digital age has brought to us [Music] bim is not a new idea or concept it has been with us for many years now the developments in technology have enabled the construction industry to plan design construct and manage more complex and larger scale projects every year more and more professionals in architecture architectural technology building surveying quantity surveying construction management and property development and planning are implementing bim increasing the efficiency of projects improving collaboration between different stakeholders and creating a central model that contains all the project information or only some of the added values of implementing bim so what is bim [Music] beam is evolution not revolution it was developed over many years by various scholars from all over the globe who worked hand-in-hand with software developers the first bim concept that appeared on pcs was in 1984. two years later in 1986 robert ash introduced the term building modeling for the first time building performance data appeared on early beam applications in 1993. the golden years of beam development were from late 1990s to early 2000s [Music] in 2004 collaboration on central models appeared on bim applications the advancements of being accelerated considerably from that point and in 2008 more cutting-edge technologies such as parametric modeling and laser scanning were incorporated into beam applications after 2015 different governments made amendments to the existing construction regulations to improve the incorporation of beam process for example in 2016 use of beam process in funded projects became mandatory in the uk in 2020 germany made it compulsory for transportation projects to use the beam process while there are different definitions of bin it is a process that improves collaboration between different stakeholders throughout building's lifecycle bim is a process of working together to advance the efficiency of construction projects the most important element of a beam process is a beam model that contains all building information [Music] so here are two important questions what can we do with a building model and what building information can be integrated into a digital model the answer to both questions is everything a beam model includes a detailed 3d model with all architectural and structural elements mechanical and electrical systems spaces details schedules and all sort of documentations it can easily calculate cost estimation material quantities energy performance etc is bim only useful for large and complex projects absolutely not implementing bim is highly beneficial for different types of projects with various functions and scales [Music] is been useful for small scale projects yes and here are some more detailed answers to these questions scan to beam for real-time surveying and incorporation of site features create a huge potential to design and construct spaces that are perfectly integrated with various site-specific conditions [Music] implementing bim will also increase project precision and accuracy less errors and mistakes [Music] it will also improve the coordination between different disciplines involved in a project which would eventually result in minimizing time and cost of the projects using bim we can have planned overlaps within different stages of the project which results in reducing the project time and cost [Music] let's discuss some of the many issues the construction industry was facing before the implementation of bim incompatible id systems lots of problems around file sharing and different file formats extensive use of paper email overload as more conversations were required among different stakeholders low data security and unclear modern data ownership low transparency of information flow loss of revision documents limited project records and finally there was no central model containing all project information using one system of digital models increases the synchronization between various documents produced by different professionals involved in a project bim is the process of designing constructing and managing a building or infrastructure collaboratively using advanced length digital models [Music] i hope you enjoyed the video and found it useful and informative in the next series of videos i will explain beam capabilities in more details its various dimensions and applications take care
