Building information modeling (BIM) is an integrated process that allows professionals to explore a project digitally before construction by using coordinated, consistent information. BIM can be used to design innovative projects, visualize and simulate real-world performance, accurately document projects, and deliver projects faster and more economically. BIM is important for civil engineers as it allows for multidiscipline coordination, direct communication to reduce errors, simulation and analysis to optimize designs, and visualization to explore and validate designs and communicate with stakeholders. BIM workflows can improve processes by reducing errors, enabling better collaboration, developing better designs, and addressing economic challenges through potential schedule reductions.
