What is BIM? A Simple and Clear Explanation for Manufacturers
BIM (Building Information Modeling) is the process of digitally modeling and managing all components of a building or project — including architecture, mechanical, electrical, and infrastructure elements — in a complete and intelligent way.
BIM is not just a 3D drawing; it's a smart digital model that combines product dimensions, materials, technical specifications, durability values, and maintenance information.
In traditional methods, products used in projects were often represented by basic visuals or general descriptions. Today, BIM processes ensure that each product is integrated into the project along with all its technical data.
This leads to more accurate, faster, and more efficient design, planning, construction, and maintenance phases.
BIM has become a standard practice in medium and large-scale projects worldwide.
What are BIM Objects? What They Mean for Manufacturers
BIM objects are intelligent data sets that digitally represent all the physical, visual, and technical attributes of a product.
A BIM object typically includes:
- Dimensions and geometric details
- Material types and surface finishes
- Color options
- Weight and durability values
- Energy consumption and performance data (especially for HVAC, boilers, and pump systems)
- Installation, maintenance, and usage instructions
- Certifications and compliance information
These objects allow architects, engineers, and designers to select the right products with the right data during the project design phase.
Providing products as BIM objects significantly increases the likelihood of being specified in projects.
For example:
- The energy efficiency ratings of a lighting fixture,
- The performance values of a boiler,
- The placement and ergonomic data of a piece of furniture
- can all be accessed directly within the project workflow.
BIM objects don't just "list" products — they actively integrate them into design and construction processes.
