This research is based on BIM & the efficient information representation techniques. This article will provide basic idea about both "BIM" & " The Usage of Efficient Information Representation Techniques"

Building Information Modelling ( BIM )

Building Information Model (BIM) is a rich information model, consisting of potentially multiple data sources, elements of which can be shared across all stakeholders and be maintained across the life of a building from inception to recycling Most of people incorrectly interpret that BIM is 3D CAD or an alternative for drafting software such as Autocad, Revit etc. But it is not.

What is BIM?

BIM is “A digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility and a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle; defined as existing from earliest conception to demolition.”

BIM represents the development and use of computer generated n-dimensional models.

  • BIM is data-rich
  • BIM is object oriented
  • BIM is intelligent and parametric digital database of a built facility

BIM IS NOT NEXT GENERATION.....IT IS HERE AND NOW...........

Efficiently & Effective Represntation of Information


Information can be represent in different ways such as descriptions, charts, figures, models etc. Different people will preferred to use different kind of techniques to absorb information from various sources. Information grabbing will be differ according to human’s mental abilities. Most of the time humans are preferred to go with graphic, images, chart etc. rather than reading lengthy descriptions. Construction industry has more tendency to use lengthy descriptive versions such as, BOQ’s, Reports, Quotations, Legal documents, etc. due to its nature. But still people will feel uncomfortable when using those information. So having efficient method to represent information will be motivate construction stakeholders to give their input to the project in maximum level.

Global technology has been reaching to its maximum point. Due to that has facilitating different kind of alternatives to represent information and various developing industries has been grab those techniques to increase their productivity.

But still construction industry has been stuck with old, out dated methods to represent information. As emerging industry, construction industry need to use those newly developed techniques to represent information effectively and efficiently.





This research is based on an experiment which lead to build good technique/s to “Represent cost information efficiently & effectively”. Further results of this experiment will be suggest to develop within the BIM environment.
