What is BIM?
BIM is an information management process underpinned by
collaborative working and digital technologies. It uses a shared
digital representation of an asset to facilitate design, construction
and operation processes to form a reliable basis for decisions.

Greater efficiencies can be realized due to significant pre-

planning during the design and construction phases, providing
comprehensive information at handover stage.

Global BIM adoption
Governments around the world are accelerating the adoption of BIM, or
are starting to introduce different requirements to embed the adoption
of BIM, by mandating or setting conditions of contract for public works
projects, infrastructure projects or projects defined by scale.

The publication of international BIM standards supports this adoption.

These standards define the minimum requirements and give further
recommendations on applying best practice.

Use of the internationally recognized BIM standards will help remove

barriers to collaborative working and competitive tendering across
borders. The international BIM standards offer the potential to act
as a passport for organizations that embed them to gain access to
international markets.

With the publication of the ISO 19650 series of standards, BIM now
has an internationally agreed definition. 'BIM according to ISO 19650'
defines the minimum requirements and gives further recommendations
to applying best practice to BIM.
