Building information modeling is a process, not a product. However, technology is an enabler and recent enhancements in this area are helping MEP professionals realize the benefits of moving to BIM.
BIM is about collaboration and information, and helping drive more informed decision making. As it becomes a more established process, it is changing how to design and construct buildings. Governments and owners around the world are mandating its use in an attempt to reduce the capital expenditure of construction and improve whole-life building performance.
