 BIM- Building Information Modelling 

Building information modelling (BIM) is a new word for construction industry nowadays in developing countries like Srilanka, India, Maldives, Indonesia.  Building modelling information is a collection of the technical software.According to the NBIMSPC - National Building  Information Model Standard Project Committee, BIM is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. 

Auto CAD is a traditional method of drawing technical drawings. BIM will create a whole project information by having basic data .  

BIM has divided in to 6 major parts,

1. 1D- Linear measurements

2. 2D- Autocad plan drawings

3. 3D - Civil 3D  , Revit, Autocad 3D         

4. 4D - Time related matter: Primavera project management, Microsoft project                            management 

5. 5D - Cost related matters,Quantity surveying 

6. 6D - Facility management 


If we take an Auto cad drawing , it will explain the layout and the plan only. BIM give us the structural related measurements and the electrical,HVAC related dimensions and the information with the accurate values.  

AutoCAD is static, BIM is dynamic
