Building Information Modeling (BIM) is widely gaining popularity in construction. With increased adoption in the coming year, these are the 10 upcoming trends in BIM to watch out for: 4D, 5D and 6D BIM In 2018, more and more companies are expected to move beyond 3D-BIM to 4D, 5D, and even 6D BIM. 4D-BIM provides the visual representation of the construction schedule. 5D BIM and 6D BIM add two properties to 3D-BIM: costs and materials. Along with the standard design parameters, details such as geometries, aesthetics, and thermal and acoustic properties are now included in a project so as to enable engineers to see how a decision affects the costs of a design at an early stage. 6D BIM primarily focuses on the long term. The new versions of BIM maximize the return on their investment.
