The English full name of BIM is building information MODELING, that is, building information modeling (BIM), which is a complete information modeling process. It is not a simple term "model"), it can integrate the engineering information, process and resources in different stages of the project life cycle into a model, which is convenient for all participants in the project to use.

Extended data:

BIM simulates the real information of buildings through three-dimensional digital technology, and provides a coordinated and internally consistent information model for engineering design and construction, so that the model can realize the integration of design and construction, and all disciplines work together, thus reducing the production cost of the project and ensuring the project to be completed on time and with good quality. Typical BIM applications have developed from 3D (geometric information) to 4D (time/duration information), 5D (cost information), 6D (energy consumption information) ... nD (multidimensional). BIM database has become the core of multidimensional information processing.
