Dimensional control in the age of BIM Dr. Frédéric Bosché Institute for Building and Urban Design (IBUD)
BIM “BIM is a suite of technologies and processes that integrate to form the ‘system’ at the heart of which is a component-based 3D representation of each building element.”
Technology: “Each component […] has embedded information about the product and its placement, material, specification, fire rating, U-value, fittings, finishes, costs, ‘carbon content’ and any special requirements”
