What is Building Information Modeling (BIM)?

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the integrated process of creating and managing information for a built environment. It is the foundation of a digital transformation in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. The use of a Building Information Model improves the cooperation between all design and construction suppliers in a tremendous way.

What are the benefits of a Building Information Model?

Building Information Modeling is becoming increasingly compulsory in laboratory design. This is mainly because of the benefits:

  • Saves time (integral planning)
  • Saves money
  • Prevents a lot of frustration on part of clients and all third parties involved (over resolving changes)
