Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Engineering Evolution in a Digital World

Abstract

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the foundation of digital transformation in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) in­dustry. This is an instrument helping professionals and students to gain an un­derstanding of technologies that will be crucial to the future industry. In addi­tion, BIM is a tool that improves the efficiency and integration of building de­signs by integrating architectural knowledge with technical processes. Con­tractors, architects, and engineers are increasingly utilising virtual technology for long-distance communication. According to Reuters, the worldwide BIM industry is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 14.9 percent from 2018 to 2023. Government mandates for the development and implementation of BIM to improve project efficiency and reduce operations costs are the driving force behind it. BIM was portrayed in specialised literature as a component of the solution for an industry beset by cost and schedule overruns, enabling owners and stakeholders to make knowledgeable decisions based on the real-time in­formation the digital models provide.
