What is BIM?

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a purposeful process of information management through the whole life cycle of any project such as buildings, infrastructures, bridges and roads.

3D Model + Information

What is BIM?

TIME

MATERIALS

SPACES

OTHERS COST

Nura Al Neama

1. Reduction of errors and re-work

2. Higher quality of end products

3. Increase in the collaboration between stakeholders

4. Lower overall cost of construction

5. Better communication through simulation and visualization

6. Easy access to detailed project data

7. Increased transparency of building information

BIM Education & Future of Qatar

BIM should play an important role in our major educational courses. As future architects and engineers we realize how much it can support multidisciplinary work. It is crucial for us to be well-prepared for joining the work force and helping Qatar achieve its ambitious goals in the near future.
