The Legal Aspects of BIM

Building Information Management

Many remain confused about the meaning and value of BIM (building information modeling). BIM is NOT 3D modeling (Revit, Archicad, Bentley, etc.), BIM is the visualization and modeling of the built environment to assist in associated decision support, via ANY means, leveraging digital technology.
