By: Language: English Publication details: Washington Design and Construction Strategies 2008Subject(s): Online resources:
Contents:
Overview -- BIM, cost estimates and project phasing -- Supporting information exchange BIM and costing applications -- Standardizing data models and definitions -- Building information models for the project lifecycle -- Conclusion -- References
Summary: As a visual database of building components, BIM can provide accurate and automated quantification, and assist in significantly reducing variability in cost estimates. Exchanging data is a challenging aspect of AEC information technology. BIM applications are evolving and standard formats to organize and share building information are far from fully mature as well.
