In the near future, the BIM era is likely to make way for District Information Modelling (DIM). To pave the path for others, Europe has undertaken projects involving multi-disciplinary teams from multiple nations with participants from diverse backgrounds including architecture, engineering, philosophy, politics, sociology and geography.

Building information modeling is only as good as the information that is fed into it. While using BIM for cost estimation, it is solely an estimator's responsibility to develop information database that is useful for estimation. Cost estimation, i.e. the 5Th dimension of BIM, constitutes of multiple layers of activities, including cost planning, quantity extraction, and verification of - MEP, structural and rebar fabrication models and visualization of series of activities with corresponding accrued costs and verifying the same.

BIM has been putting information at the heart of construction projects, empowering every stakeholder who utilizes that information, transform the project environment at large.

5D BIM (Building Information Modeling) however, is turning out to be critical in closing this gap. 5D BIM involves extraction of construction information from intelligent BIM ready virtual building models.

BIM (Building Information Modeling) is playing most important role in MEP installation and maintenance. It helps in planning stage of building project as well as also helps MEP contractors after project completion.

Architects, contractors, occupants and various other stakeholders can easily access the valuable information instantaneously about the building model, as BIM makes it easy for designers to create such intelligent environment. However, the only limitation of such 3D BIM models is that they are prepared basis the amount of information and input fed in the BIM model by the architectural design support team.

Building information modeling is no more the wonder word that the construction industry raved about. Today BIM has become vernacular of professionals working on building design and construction projects for large buildings and complex structures. The question that construction firms are asking is not about whether to implement BIM or not, now it is all about how it will be executed.

Let's see how Building Information Modeling - BIM and laser scanning technology are optimized by building construction professionals to streamline renovation, retrofit and refurbishment projects.

The Future BIM for infrastructure looks really bright in coming years, and personally are equipping ourselves to adopt common robust methodologies that provide both productivity for companies and also for those sustainable outcomes for infrastructure client organization and their clients, the public, as well.

BIM can contribute in bringing transparency between all stakeholders. The root of BIM is "the single source of truth", and the industry recognizes that information transparency is more than important, than ever. But the truth is that it's a collective practice, where stakeholders look at it in their own commercial interest.

Education and awareness of climate risks, is a mandate for countries that are developing infrastructure in climate-vulnerable environments. Consistent data and information, institutional arrangements including coordination between various stakeholders, policies, economic incentives, technology, and knowledge will play a pivotal role.
