Building Information Modelling, better known as BIM, is a cutting-edge technological solution for the many challenges of high-level infrastructure and the building design and planning process. In a rapidly changing world, the construction industry – like all industries – must keep ahead of the curve, and BIM is at the heart of that.
Put simply, Building Information Modelling is a tool that allows collaborative digital modelling of the entire life cycle of a building or infrastructure project, from the ground up, and right on to the end of a building’s life cycle. The global uptake of BIM has revolutionised the design and construction process, streamlining communication and design and allowing collaborative working between specialists across large distances.
The uptake of digital technology has provided many new and exciting opportunities for construction and design, including the use of drones, virtual reality, augmented reality and, of course, BIM.

BIM Benefits the Industry
Uptake of BIM allows civilian and government designers, contractors and engineers to streamline their processes and catch errors and potential risks at the modelling stage, thereby reducing costs and risk in a big way. It can be utilised in the pursuit of sustainability and the reduction of ecological impact – both of the structure itself and the construction process – and it encourages and streamlines collaboration in a secure way through a cloud-based set of design and modelling tools.
The respected construction industry professional and Chairman of the award-winning Mid Group, Sahel Majali, has a great deal of knowledge and hands-on experience in the construction industry. As BIM has revolutionised and streamlined the construction industry, it has become incredibly beneficial to planners and professionals everywhere.
BIM’s Practical Applications
This reliable, user-friendly system of design and modelling is unparalleled in its power to streamline the production process, cut costs and alleviate risk. It is particularly useful when it comes to the design and construction of major civilian infrastructure projects such as road and rail, or the provision of electricity, gas, water and sanitation. The benefits of being able to model such massively complex projects are not limited to allowing collaborative working; the modelling process can predict behaviour of structures over their whole life cycle and can also be used once a construction project is complete, quickly identifying and isolating faults if they develop. This remarkable technology has revolutionised the construction industry. Find out more about its origins by having a look at the PDF embedded in this post.
