1.)

Aim :

What is BIM? Summarize the features of BIM and benefits of using BIM over 2D CAD tools.

Result

Three types namely

• View elements
• Model elements
• Annotate elements

• Annotation elements
• Datum elements

• Bim is a visual representation of tyhe pysical and fundametal characteristics of a facility from inception onwards.As such it servs as a shared information repositary for collabaration throught out a facilitys life cycle.

Features of BIM

• Easy acess to information
• Making the process more expresive
• Comprehensive of the project

Benefits of BIM

• Complete representation
• Instant updates
• Time constrain
• Rsaourse traking
