BIM Notes** > This program uses 3D, real-time, dynamic building modeling to increase productivity in building design and the construction.
 * Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the process of generating and managing building data during its life cycle.
 * BIM gives quantities and shared properties of materials can easily be extracted. Also gives the information about systems, assemblies, and sequences that are able to be shown in a relative scale.
 * BIM design method is currently young in its development. So CAD will be use for more time.
 * BIM offers:
 * 1) Improved visualization
 * 2) Improved productivity due to easy retrieval of information
 * 3) Increased coordination of construction documents
 * 4) Embedding and linking of vital information such as vendors for specific materials, location of details and quantities required for estimation and tendering
 * 5) Increased speed of delivery
 * 6) Reduced costs
 * Certain inconsistencies are acceptable for drawing production, such as approximate vs. completely accurate area measurements, elements drawn graphically instead of modeled, and components duplicated one on top of the other. These inconsistencies are unacceptable in BIM.
 * One of the greatest benefits of using a BIM application at the design stage is the ability for the designer to understand the buildings.
