The BIM approach represents a major shift for the construction and civil engineering sector

It provides a comprehensive and accurate understanding of a construction project through 3D geometric modeling. BIM improves the reliability of communication among the various construction industry stakeholders (architects, engineering firms, contractors, and building owners) by leveraging databases linked to the digital models specific to each work package, while optimizing the management of costs, schedules, and building performance. By facilitating collaboration among the various stakeholders in a construction project, BIM acts as a catalyst for the design-construction-operation process of a building.

What is BIM?

BIM, or "Building Information Modeling," is a new method for managing construction projects based on a 3D digital model containing reliable and structured data.

BIM enables the sharing of information throughout a building’s lifecycle: from design through demolition, including initial feasibility studies, construction, and operation and maintenance. It therefore involves all stakeholders and participants in a construction project: project owners, architects, cost engineers, engineering firms, construction companies, and others.
