Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a comprehensive
methodology and process that enables the creation of dynamic,
three-dimensional computer models for construction facilities. BIM
streamlines the production and use of project documentation,
improves timeline and budget accuracy, and enhances communication
and decision-making.
BIM is integrated into a construction project through a BIM
Protocol, a legally binding agreement commonly appended as a
schedule to construction and other contracts among project
stakeholders. The BIM Protocol defines the roles and
responsibilities of project stakeholders, the management of
intellectual property, the application of ISO 19650 or other
standards, enforcement mechanisms, data collection and processing
procedures, dispute resolution mechanisms and more.
