The Future of Building Information Modelling: BIM 2.0 (original) (raw)

Abstract

The first evolution of BIM was from being a shared warehouse of information to an information management strategy. Now the BIM is evolving from being an information management strategy to being a construction management method. This change in interpretation of BIM is fast and noticeable. Four newly emerging dimensions in management of building information towards transforming BIM to BIM 2.0 focus on enabling an (i) integrated environment of (ii) distributed information which is always (iii) up to date and open for (iv) derivation of new information. The chapter starts with providing recent trends in building information modelling and then elaborates on technologies that will enable BIM 2.0. BIM-based management of the overall construction processes is becoming a major requirement of the construction industry, and the final part of this chapter provides matrices that can be used as a tool for facilitating BIM-based projects and process management.
