The term BIM or Building Information Modelling was invented by Autodesk in the year 2002 to define an innovative approach to building design and construction. Unlike CAD, BIM is a single, 3D shared model. It contains physical, environmental, commercial and operational databases that interact with each other.
Because of its main feature - a three-dimensional capacity – all the components of the design idea can be easily viewed and examined; and BIM elements are actually the simulations of building components. As the result BIM provides builders, designers and developers with a great opportunity to explore the building project digitally, before it has been built.
There are a number of benefits that BIM brings to the companies: like greater integration and collaboration; it improves coordination of design and helps to avoid project delays due to early clash detection during building construction; reduces time spent on construction documentation; updates the model with real-time information on actual performance through the life of the building; saves costs and resources.
