Glossary

BIM model:

A three-dimensional digital simulation, typically of a building or other built form, which is both parametric and database-driven.

Building information modeling (BIM):

The methodology or process of creating a parametric database-driven digital model of a building or built environment. Understood within the practice of building information modeling, especially on large complex projects, is the collaboration required of various team members during all design and construction phases to add, delete, modify, enhance, or otherwise update the BIM model for the benefit of the overall project and team.

Integrated project delivery (IPD):

A project delivery approach that integrates people, systems, business structures, and practices into a process that collaboratively harnesses the talents and insights of all participants to optimize project results, increase value to the owner, reduce waste, and maximize efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication, and construction [
