Why did they develop BIM?
The BIM concept envisages virtual construction of a facility prior to its actual physical construction, in order to reduce uncertainty, improve safety, work out problems, and simulate and analyze potential impacts.
Is BIM used in the UK?
The UK is widely perceived to be a global leader in the adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology. In 2019, almost 70\% of all construction industry professionals were using BIM on projects, and most of the rest were well aware of its existence.

Why is AutoCAD so expensive?
The cost is because this software is very complex, difficult to develop and maintain, while the customer base is relatively small (not a mass-market/consumer-grade product). If you use AutoCAD for your job, then the employer pays the license fee. For software like AutoCAD, that’s probably 95\% of their licenses.
Is BIM Level 2 mandatory?
BIM Level 2 is required by the Government on all public sector construction projects. Therefore, organisations in the construction industry must demonstrate compliance before the Treasury will release funding. At Level 2, collaboration has been introduced between teams and the process of BIM is being followed.
How many construction companies use BIM?
In 2019, 15 percent of construction industry professionals taking part in the survey reported having used BIM for all of their projects in the last 12 months. This was a decrease of three percent compared to the previous year.
What is Bim and why is it important?
Building Information Modelling (BIM) has become an increasingly important tool for architects, allowing us to involve clients, collaborators and other stakeholders in the design and creation of built environments from the very earliest stages, thus saving time and money as well as helping ensure that the finished development satisfies everyone.
What is the future of BIM?
The future of the construction industry is digital, and BIM is the future of design and long term facility management; it is government led and driven by technology and clear processes; and it is implementing change across all industries.
What are the disadvantages of BIM?
Cost of software being used is too much.
What does BIM do for You?
BIM creates efficiency and users will get several benefits. You will realize some of the greatest value of BIM through its potential to cut down on rework , such as re-keying information into models or making changes in the field. As users become more proficient, the opportunities to improve productivity are more pronounced.
