BIM
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital process for creating and managing information about a building or infrastructure project throughout its lifecycle, from design and construction to operation and maintenance. It involves generating and coordinating 3D models enriched with data on geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, quantities, and properties of building components. BIM facilitates collaboration among architects, engineers, contractors, and owners by providing a shared knowledge resource.
Developers should learn BIM when working in architecture, engineering, construction (AEC), or facility management industries, as it enhances project efficiency, reduces errors, and supports data-driven decision-making. It is used for clash detection, cost estimation, sustainability analysis, and lifecycle management, making it essential for modern construction projects and smart building applications.
