BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING (BIM)

     Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a new three-dimensional modelling
Technology and an integrated process that allows the building professionals of various disciplines to explore the building project digitally, before it is built. BIM facilitates better teamwork among the professionals, helping to reduce unnecessary reworks when the project is being constructed.
     Building Information Modelling (BIM) has become one of the most exciting developments in the building and construction industry in recent years. Most of the countries such as Unites States, Finland and Norway have made BIM mandatory for public sector building projects.
     As I am currently working in Singapore's Architectural Firm, I would like to share BIM information on my Blog. Since January 2010, BCA started accepting Architectural BIM submissions for regulatory approval. BCA will mandate electronic submissions in BIM format for architectural, structural and M&E plans for building works for regulatory approval by 2015, starting with architectural e-submissions in 2013. The public sector will also take the lead in driving BIM adoption and work towards specifying this as a requirement in new building projects from next year.
     I would like to suggest to all my fellows to start learning in Autodesk Revit Software (or) Griphisoft ArchiCAD software for BIM.
