BIM Q&A | What Are the Benefits of Establishing a BIM Database?
First, it is important to clarify what kind of data is included in the BIM. If it consists solely of a 3D model, it functions like a family library database, providing easy access to the model.
However, if it encompasses the full lifecycle data of a construction project, then the model serves merely as a carrier of information. For example, a computational or Revit model with more than ten iterations can become very slow to browse and view.
When the BIM database includes not only the model but also time schedules, cost data, construction techniques, and other information spanning the entire project lifecycle, the processing power of a single computer is insufficient.
In such cases, big data cloud platform technology is essential to enable efficient data sharing and coordinated management across all project stages.
