BIM-projektering i praktiken

The use of CAD, within the building industry came strongly, during the 1980’s and the 1990’s. The development has since then rapidly progressed and the using of 3D-models has in addition increased. We are now at the edge of next step of evolution. BIM, Building Information Model(ing), is here. Briefly, BIM is an object oriented 3D-model, which contains information. The information is used in all phases of the building’s lifecycle. BIM simplifies the coordination and enables, among others, a more accurate calculation in an early phase of the process. The purpose of the report is to present how BIM applies in practice. The report is based on interviews and observations at the projecting of Halmstad Arena. BIM-technology isn’t completely ready yet, but it is on its way. Today BIM is most suited for complex projects. Once you have learned the work method, BIM will be superior the traditional 2D-projecting and applied to every project. New job types will be established, such as BIM-supervisor and building modeler, whom are specialized towards BIM. Even though the objective for all parts has been to work integrated and towards a common objective, with traditional projecting, we aren’t there yet. BIM doesn’t change the objective, but simplifies the approach
