__BIM ( Building Infomation Model )__
= = ==The Building Information Model or BIM is a 3-D ( Tri-dimensional ) computer model with the purpose of serve like a repository for the drawing associated with the desing and construccion of Building in 3-D. BIM is a program we all expected computer-aided design (CAD) to be, but now we know it requires information standards to be productive.==

==**The BIM work with ERDC Computer-Aided Design and Drafting/Geographic Information Systems Technology Center for Facilities, Infrastructure, and Environment (CADD/GIS Center) provides the expertise, standards, and onsite implementation support to execute BIM technology in the Federal design arena.**== The NCS defines standards for many aspects of electronic building-design data, including:
 * NIBS supports U.S. standards**. NIBS is the overarching organization supporting NCS and the IAI in the United States. It supports the construction industry committees defining the construction process. These committees then work with IAI and NCS technical groups that create the standards. Committees meet regularly on different aspects of construction data.
 * CAD layers[[image:http://www.aia.org/SiteObjects/images/Building%20and%20window.jpg width="274" height="157" align="right"]]
 * Organization of drawing sets
 * Drawing sheets and schedules
 * Drafting conventions
 * Terms and abbreviations
 * Graphic symbols
 * Notations
 * Code conventions
 * Plotting

==Building information modeling supports the continuous and immediate availability of high-quality, reliable, integrated, and fully coordinated design data. Among the many competitive advantages it confers are:==


 * Increased speed of delivery (time saved)
 * Better coordination (fewer errors)
 * Decreased costs (money saved)
 * Greater productivity
 * Higher quality work
 * On-line collaboration
 * New revenue and business opportunities in operations and functions
