Building Information Modeling or BIM is a collaborative process which enables architects, engineers, real estate developers and other professionals in the construction industry to plan, design and construct buildings using a single three-dimensional model. BIM uses structured and multi-disciplinary data to create a digital model of a building, right from its planning and design to construction and operations. The digital representation incorporates both geometric and semantic data. Data collected in a BIM model is shared between stakeholders through a shared online space called common data environment.
BIM techniques are being increasingly utilized by the construction industry in India. Some of the top providers of BIM technology have been listed here.
