ABOUT BIM (Building Information Modelling)
CAD 2D is the way to give information about Structure, architecture, mechanical, and electrical a building in 2d. Or more popular know as PLAN DRAWING, SHOP DRAWING And As Build DRAWING. Different with CAD, BIM present Following as technology advances as way or system to increase quality and make efficient time in the planning, build and maintain a building. BIM (Building Information Modelling) is System or way that combine Stcurure, architecture, mechanical and electrical in 3D Model digital as the information to the designer, Contractor, owner and building maintenance. in Wikipedia, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. A BIM is a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle; defined as existing from earliest conception to demolition1).While switching from CAD to BIM is already justified by the benefits achieved during the design phase BIM offers further benefits during the construction and operation of buildings2).
BIM FUNCTION
BIM used to make technical information in build good communication when planning(ex: Infrastructure Master Planning), programming, budgeting, basic design process or make DED ( Detail Engineering Design), construction process even operation and maintenance the building.
BIM Build good communication between owner, planner, designer, contractor to get good quality in efficient time.
BIM isn't Software, But BIM is The System or LiveCycle information about the building
Conclusion
BIM Is an Information the entirely of building in 3D Model Digital include Function, location, spaces then called The smart building. Even BIM more than 3D, BIM can explain Until 7D.
