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.
