When this happens, new (often shared) ideas emerge. Building information modelling – In the building design and construction industry, Building Information Modelling (BIM), is changing the way designers work together (NBS 2012). The adoption of BIM in construction disciplines is rapidly increasing and it may represent a significant shift in the approach and attitude to the massive task of designing an object as complex as a modern building (Shelden 2009). BIM is the process of creating a virtual computer model of a building, effectively constructing a virtual building (sometimes many times) before it is physically constructed.
