It&#039;s information. Discover how data modeling changes the way we design, build, and maintain structures.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When we talk about <a href=\"https:\/\/cadbim.com.br\/en\/bim-project-compatibility\/\">BIM<\/a>, Many people still only think about &quot;3D models.&quot; But what truly transforms the way we design and build is... <strong>Building Information Modeling<\/strong> or, in English, Building Information Modeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This modeling is what makes BIM much more than just a pretty visual: it organizes all the technical data of the project, connects disciplines, generates predictability, and reduces errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, you will understand what &quot;building information modeling&quot; really means, and why it&#039;s so important. <a href=\"https:\/\/cadbim.com.br\/en\/how-to-implement-bim-in-construction-companies\/\">in addition to technical drawing<\/a> and how to apply it in practice within the reality of construction companies, designers and managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is building information modeling?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put, it&#039;s the process of creating a digital model that represents not only the geometry, but all the technical information associated with each element of the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each wall, beam, light fixture, or duct contains data that may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dimensions, volume and area;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type of material;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supplier and unit cost;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Relationship with systems (electrical, structural, hydraulic);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Execution schedule (BIM 4D);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cost data <a href=\"https:\/\/cadbim.com.br\/en\/bim-4d-5d-6d-construction-planning\/\">(BIM 5D)<\/a>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Operation\/maintenance manual (BIM 6D);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Warranty, lifespan, maintenance history.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, it&#039;s as if the model were a living work of art, with everything documented in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Difference between geometric modeling and information modeling.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Geometric modeling<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Information modeling<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Visual only<\/td><td>Visual + technical<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Focus on 3D<\/td><td>Focus on the data<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Good for presentation.<\/td><td>Essential for execution<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Limited applicability on the construction site.<\/td><td>Basis for extracting quantities, schedule and budget.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While geometric modeling generates the &quot;design,&quot; information modeling generates the &quot;content&quot; that makes that design work in the real world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How BIM organizes everything based on modeling.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on information modeling, BIM allows projects to be structured with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Data centralization<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of spreadsheets, emails, and loose files, everything is in the model: materials, systems, costs, construction steps, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multidisciplinary coordination<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Models from various disciplines are federated (coordinated) in a single environment, where they can be precisely matched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Automatic information extraction<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Bills of materials, quantities, area maps, cost spreadsheets, schedules.
