1. 3D Modeling:

○     Digital Representation: Creating detailed 3D models of buildings and infrastructure.

○     Coordination: Ensuring that different disciplines (architecture, engineering, construction) are integrated within the model.

2. Data Management:

○     Information Storage: Storing detailed information about materials, components, and systems within the BIM model.

○     Accessibility: Making data accessible to all stakeholders for better decision-making.

3. Simulation and Analysis:

○     Performance Analysis: Simulating various scenarios to analyze the performance of the design.

○     Clash Detection: Identifying and resolving conflicts between different systems before construction begins.

4. Project Management:

○     Scheduling: Using BIM to create detailed project schedules and timelines.

○     Cost Estimation: Estimating costs based on the detailed information within the model.

5. Lifecycle Management:

○     Maintenance Planning: Using BIM data to plan maintenance activities throughout the building’s lifecycle.

○     Facility Management: Managing facilities efficiently using the detailed information within the BIM model.
