BIM in civil engineering
Challenges and opportunities of creating a central database covering the entire life cycle
Building Information Modeling (BIM) digitally generates and stores relevant data pertaining to a building or structure directly in the design and construction phases. In addition, it creates a virtual building model and interlinks it with alphanumeric data. Any information or document still missing at the acceptance stage can subsequently be added thanks to the uniform IFC data standard. The resulting documentation provides an essential prerequisite for the sustainable construction and operation of structures. In addition, it is in the best interest of both owners and operators because...
