BIM typically exhibits the following characteristics:
First, BIM represents the digital or intelligent digitization of building components.
Second, it is a collaborative process that features automated processing capabilities while ensuring the correlation and consistency of information.
Third, BIM facilitates information exchange by providing a clear, reproducible information environment that can be verified and maintained throughout the entire lifecycle of a building.
Fourth, it generates comprehensive non-graphical data reports, delivering reliable, high-quality information on project design, scale, progress, and costs continuously and in real time.
Additionally, BIM continuously updates information within a comprehensive digital environment and offers easy access. This allows architects, engineers, construction personnel, and owners to gain a clear and thorough understanding of the project. Such access accelerates decision-making and improves its quality during architectural design, construction, and management, ultimately enhancing project outcomes and increasing revenue.
Because BIM involves multiple disciplines and data types, an open international standard for expressing and exchanging building product data has been established: the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC).
