Executive Summary THE WORLD OF BIM Cassie Morse November 11, 2021 Building Information Modeling (BIM) is used in architecture, engineering, and construction to generate a digital 3D representation of a building. This digital model contains all the same physical and functional characteristics as the actual building and creates a virtual world for designers to work in before a shovel ever meets the dirt. Designers place all the required building components into the model to ensure they will fit within the designated space, identify any clashes between trades, and ensure constructability in the field. The model will play a large role in scheduling and logistics as the project progresses and will continue to be utilized long after the building is complete.
