BIM ( building information modelling )is of visualisation, of physical and functional characterstics of the facility BIM
This technology allows member of project of various departments involved in it and sharing and cordinationg with the data base. to generate the virtual model of the structure.

Easy access of information :-Its the to callect all the information of the structure or a element in details.
Making the process more expressive:- to make the process expressive as CAD provide
comprehensive view of the project as 3 dimensional model than REvit provide as model in 5 dimension that 2 are Time and Cost .
Comprhensive View of the Project:- BIM not only provide as the model of the building it also very helpfull in designing of the energy efficient building as per the location of the project.
Benefits of the BIM over 2D CAD :-
- Complete respresantation:- BIM generate the complete representation of project in form of the detail sheets and section view of the elements.also of quanities and the costing
- instant updates -: In BIM upadating in aby of the project part instatntly reflects in the every relation parts of the projects.
- Time constraints -:
- Resource tracking
