BIM (Building Information Modeling) is the new frontier of architecture to handle the design’s complexities properly. It is the intelligent model-based approach used by an increasing number of architects to redefine the design and construction of buildings. Before BIM, architects utilized 2D CAD (Computer-Aided Design) to create buildings. To arrive at the final design of the building, they would have to revise the plans numerous times and attend several meetings with the customer.

The early adopters of BIM are currently trying to streamline the process, but architects are becoming aware that exploiting BIM is a necessity rather than a facility. Therefore, designers utilize BIM to generate digital 3D models that incorporate physical and functional properties. The cooperation between architects, engineers, and contractors provides a deep understanding of how an individual’s work fits the whole process.
