BIM 360
History
CAD
BIM
• Three-dimensional, virtual representation of a design
project
• Adds fourth dimension of time and fifth dimension of
cost
• “Cloud” allows different members of cross-functional
team to work on the project in one place

Benefits of BIM
• Green BIM
• Utilization of BIM helps make buildings more sustainable
• Example: sunlight and temperature control
• Mockups
• A headset would allow one to walk into an empty room and
get a virtual feel of what the room will look like upon
completion
