BIM, or Building Information Modeling, serves as a digital representation capturing both the physical and functional aspects of buildings or infrastructure. It facilitates collaboration among architects, engineers, and construction professionals, enabling the creation and management of detailed 3D models encompassing a structure's components and systems. Beyond geometry, BIM integrates crucial data such as materials, costs, and scheduling. This collaborative approach streamlines decision-making throughout a project's entire lifecycle—spanning design, construction, and ongoing operation and maintenance. Notably, BIM enhances communication, minimizes errors, and optimizes processes within the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry.
Within ConstructN's apps, BIM functions as a reference for comparing reality captures. It can also be utilized independently for navigation and comprehensive data gathering.
