BIM software modeling must fulfill the following requirements:
1. It must ensure the completeness of building product information, allowing for the description and organization of information at various levels of abstraction.
2. Different applications should be able to extract the necessary information, create their own models, and add new data to the building product model, ensuring both reusability and consistency of information.
3. It should support top-down design processes, especially during conceptual design and design modifications.
Architectural design involves multiple disciplines, including architecture, structural engineering, and equipment systems. Thanks to BIM’s capability to carry diverse information, all building-related data and complete design documentation are stored within a unified database. This information is fully digitized and interconnected, enabling a collaborative platform that integrates various professional fields.
This approach overcomes previous issues of incompatibility between different design software, facilitating seamless information sharing across professions. For instance, design revisions, construction scheduling, visual simulations of construction progress, collaborative document management, and change management during construction can all be efficiently managed on this collaborative BIM platform.
