Integrated BIM and Design Review for Safer, Better Buildings

摘要

Most architecture, engineering, and construction professionals agree it's a foregone conclusion: building information modeling (BIM) heralds a new era in projectrndelivery. Yet what's most significant today is the expanding power and benefit of BIM-the collaboration toots that enhance and integrate these database-driven. 3-D-capable applications. And the benefits of these BIM-driven solutions now accrue directly to facility end-users and occupants.rn"BIM has moved from if to when, and from when to how, which is what people are focused on now: Establishing a common understanding of what has to go into the model when it moves from the design team to the construction team," says Rick Lowe, a partner in the Philadelphia law firm Duane Morris LLP.
