 Building Information
Modelling is a set of
technologies, processes
and policies enabling
multiple stakeholders to
collaboratively design,
construct and operate a
facility in virtual space

 SECTION 1
What is BIM Performance?
 what is BIM it is the ability to deliver
performance?
BIM-enabled outcomes:

unique outcomes
clash detection
code checking
constructability of
complex geometries…

improved outcomes
coordinated drawings
improved prefabrication
more accurate costs…

 what is BIM It is the ability to
performance?
generate more output
with the same input

increase productivity
better design
better quality
better service…

reduce waste
less rework
less physical waste
less conflict  waste
