The construction industry can only be as advanced as the technology of the day. Fortunately, we are in an age where design and building technology is reaching new heights of efficiency and ingenuity. One of these advances is BIM, or Building Information Modelling.

BIM is a process used for managing information on a construction project. It generates and manages digital representations of the physical and functional design elements of a project. It does this using a combination of 3D rendering software, miniature 3D models of the project and relevant engineering data.

The implementation of BIM in the construction industry is accelerating globally. Usage in the UK, has increased from 13% in 2011 to 54% in 2016 among all construction professions.
