introduction to Building Information Modeling-
Building information modeling is an innovative new
approach to building design,construction, and managment
introduced by Autodesk in 2002—has changed the way
industry professionals worldwide think about how
technology, can be applied to building design
construction, and management.
-Building information modeling supports the continuous
and immediate availability of project design scope,
schedule, and cost information that is high quality,
reliable, integrated, and fully coordinated. Among the
many competitive advantages it confers are:
•increased speed of delivery (time saved)
• Better coordination (fewer errors)
• Decreased costs (money saved)
• Greater productivity
• Higher-quality work
• New revenue and business opportunities

For each of the three major phases in the building lifecycle
design, construction, and management
building information modeling offers access to the
following critical information:
• In the design phase design, schedule, and budget
information
• In the construction phase quality, schedule, and cost
information
• In the management phase performance, utilization,
and financial information
The ability to keep this information up to date and
accessible in an integrated digital environment gives
architects, engineers, builders, and owners a clear overall
vision of their projects, as well as the ability to make
better decisions faster—raising the quality and increasing
the profitability of projects.
Although building information modeling is an approach
and not a technology, it does require suitable technology
to be implemented effectively.
Examples of some of these technologies,
in increasing order of effectiveness, include:
• CAD
• Object CAD
• Parametric Building Modeling

Actually there is a lot of definitions that Explains the
meaning of building information modeling , but I think the
best definition of BIM is : An integerated workflow built on
coordinated and reliable Information about a project from
design through construction into operation

-history of BIM
The concept of BIM has existed since the 1970s. The term Building
Information Model first appeared in a 1992 paper by G.A. van Nederveen and
F. P. Tolman. However, the terms Building Information Model and Building
Information Modeling (including the acronym "BIM") had not been popularly
used until 10 years later when Autodesk released the white paper entitled
"Building Information Modeling".Jerry Laiserin helped popularize and
standardize the term as a common name for the digital representation of the
building process as then offered under differing terminology by Graphisoft as
"Virtual Building", Bentley Systems "Integrated Project Models", and by
Autodesk or Vectorworks as "Building Information Modeling" to facilitate
exchange and interoperability of information in digital format.
the first implementation of BIM was under the Virtual Building concept by
Graphisoft's ArchiCAD in its debut in 1987.
4- Benefits of BIM through design phase
Building information modeling (BIM) is one of the most promising
recent developments in the architecture, engineering, and
construction (AEC) industry. With BIM technology, an accurate
virtual model of a building is digitally constructed. This model,
known as a building information model, can be used for planning,
design, construction, and operation of the facility. It helps
architects, engineers, and constructors visualize what is to be built
in a simulated environment to identify any potential design,
construction, or operational issues. BIM represents a new
paradigm within AEC, one that encourages integration of the roles
of all stakeholders on a project. In this paper, current trends,
benefits, possible risks, and future challenges of BIM for the AEC
industry are discussed. The findings of this study provide useful
information for AEC industry practitioners considering
implementing BIM technology in their projects.
this is called 3D bim enchance archtects to simulate buildings and
doing energy analysis for 3DModel this is called 6D

5- Benefits of BIM through construction phase In the construction phase of the building lifecycle,
building information modeling makes available
concurrent information on building quality, schedule,
and cost. The builder can accelerate the
quantification of the building for estimating
and value-engineering purposes and for the
production of updated estimates and construction
planning. The consequences of proposed or procured
products can be studied and understood easily
. Building information modeling also means that less
time and money are spent on process and
administration issues in construction because

this technology helps archtects and costruction
engineers to avoid the design errors that makes
conflects on construction phase
This is called 4D
6- Benefits of BIM through operation and managment phase
For management phase
the management phase of the building lifecycle, building
information modeling makes available concurrent information
on the use or performance of the building; its occupants
and contents; the life of the building over time; and the
financial aspects of the building. Building information modeling
provides a digital record of renovations and improves move
planning and management. It accelerates the adaptation of
standard building prototypes to site conditions for businesses,
such as retail, that require the construction of similar
buildings in many different locations. Physical information about
the building, such as finishes, tenant or department
assignments, furniture and equipment inventory, and financially

important data about leasable areas and rental income or
departmental cost allocations are all more easily managed and
available. Consistent access to these types of information
improves both revenue and cost management in the operation
of the building

For operation phase
Building information technology helps the facility managers to
save money spent on operation phase by using good materials in
construction phase this is called 7D
