Abstract:
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a new evolution in process coordination. The access, management and coordination of information is integrated into a database system, lending its self to process automation and ensuring that all parties are privileged to the same, up-to-date information. The facility to keep the information accessible and up-to-date within the BIM integrated digital environment provides all parties, especially clients, a clear overall vision of their project allowing them the ability to make better decisions faster, enhancing quality and improving project profit. As a result many benefits are obtained (cost and time savings etc...) allowing engineers to deliver high quality, high performing, sustainable and efficient projects that will inevitably ensure that the needs of today are met without compromising the need for future generations to provide for themselves.
Introduction:
Productivity within the AEC (Architecture, Engineering & Construction) industry has always been criticised. One of the key aspects associated with this is the communication and integration between respective disciplines. At present the industry is severally fragmented, it is essential for a high level of communication to exist
