Understanding the BIM Terminologies assists in easier communication with the Industry. Let us look into some common BIM Terms

1. LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES
BIM
TERMINOLOGIES

2. LUPITERTECHNOLOHIES
3D
A model with objects having three-
dimensional properties. Such models are
always to be considered to be dynamic, as
they will be made up of 'model files' that
are 'reference' files

3. 4D
It is a process to the intelligent linking of a
3D digital model with time or schedule
related information. It provides precise
and useful construction project
information for teams.
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

4. 5D
It is a term used in the CAD and
construction industries, and refers to the
intelligent linking of individual 3D CAD
components or assemblies with time
schedule (4D BIM) constraints and then
with cost-related information. 5D = 3D +
TIME SCHEDULE + COST.
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

5. 6D
It is a phrase extensively used in the AEC
industry and refers to the intellectual
linking of all the individual 3D CAD
components or assemblies with all
aspects of project life-cycle management
information
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

6. 7D
7D-BIM (seventh-dimensional building
information modelling) is used by
managers in the operation and
maintenance of the facility throughout its
life cycle. ... IntegratingBIM with 7D CAD
simulation models optimizes asset
management from design to demolition.
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

7. ASSET
INFORMATION
MODEL (AIM)
A model that compiles the data and
information necessary to
support assetmanagement
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

8. ATTRIBUTE
A piece of data that describes a
characteristic an object or entity
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

9. BIM
COLLABORATION
FORMAT (BCF)
An open file format based on XML that
allows the addition of comments to
an Industry Foundation Classes BIM
model
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

10. BIM EXECUTION
PLAN (BEP)
A developing strategy prepared
by suppliers that comprises a pre-
contractBIM execution and then a post-
contract BIM execution plan
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

11. BIM MATURITY
LEVELS
The levels of complexity
and collaborationthat building
information modelling can take
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

12. BIM PROTOCOL
A supplementary legal agreement that
can be incorporated
into professional servicesappointments, c
onstruction contracts, sub
contracts and novation agreements

17. CLASH
RENDITION (CR)
A rendition of a building information
modelspecifically to avoid clashes in spatial
co-ordination
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

18. COMMON DATA
ENVIRONMENT (CDE)
The single source of information for
the project, used to collect, manage and
disseminate documentation, the
graphical model and non-graphical data for
the whole project team
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

19. CONSTRUCTION
OPERATIONS BUILDING
INFORMATION
EXCHANGE (COBIE)
A non-proprietary multi-page,
spreadsheet data format for the publication of a
subset of building information models focused on
delivering asset data rather
that geometricinformation
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

20. CONTRACTOR'S
PROPOSALS
Set out contractor's proposals for designing and
constructing a built asset, along with their price
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

21. DGN
MicroStation and Intergraph file format
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

22. EMPLOYER'S
INFORMATION
REQUIREMENTS(EIR)
Set out the information required by
the employer aligned to key decision
points or project stages, enabling suppliers to
produce an initial BIM execution plan from which
their proposed approach, capability and capacity
can be evaluated
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

23. FEDERATED BUILDING
INFORMATION MODEL
An assembly of distinct models to create a single,
complete building information model of an asset
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

24. GOVERNMENT SOFT
LANDINGS (GSL)
The process of aligning the interests of those
who design and construct an assetwith the
interests of those who use and manage it. GSL sits
alongside BIM, as BIMfeeds into Computer
Aided Facility Management (CAFM) systems, and
helps enable future alterations to
completed buildings
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

25. IBIM
Integrated Building Information Model, or Level 3
BIM
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

26. IFC
Industry Foundation Class
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

27. LEVEL 0 BIM

including 2D drawings, and text with paper-based
or electronic exchange of information but without
common standardsand processes
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

28. LEVEL 1 BIM
Managed CAD, with the increasing introduction of
spatial coordination, standardised structures and
formats as it moves towards Level 2 BIM
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

29. LEVEL 2 BIM
Managed 3D environment with dataattached, but
created in separate discipline-based models
LUPITERTECHNOLOGIES

30. LEVEL 3 BIM
A single collaborative,
online, projectmodel with construction sequencing
(4D), cost (5D) and project lifecycle information
(6D). This is sometimes referred to as 'iBIM'
(integrated BIM)
