Building information modelling (BIM) provides the entire design and construction team with the ability to digitally coordinate the often complex process of building prior to actual construction. As a new design methodology rooted in the technological advances afforded to design practice in the 1980s and 1990s, BIM allows the designer to examine ‘many more facets of the project, at the initial sizing stage, using sophisticated computer graphics tools’.2 This method of construction delivery has become known as integrated project delivery, or IPD. Unlike computer-aided drafting, which simply allowed documentation to be drawn in the computer, BIM links three-dimensional geometry with real-time databases.
