EastmanEastman, Charles M., AIA Journal, March 1975, "The Use of Computers Instead of Drawings In Building Design" Thus it takes two drawings to represent the information provided by a single model.”'' - Charles M. ''“A model can represent all three dimensions of a composition directly, while a drawing can represent only two unambiguously.

Already in 1975, this road to transparency was shortly illustrated by the "Father" of BIM, Charles M. Within construction, Building Information Modelling (BIM) has become an effective tool for the Project Manager to reach the desired goals of a project within the given constraints.Īs the illustrated in Figure 1, one single model can be the digital platform where in multiple information is stored, and thus limiting the human factor for error, as all changes are updated automatically in all views and documents. Projects based on 2D drawings are still the most common at the moment, but with the high complexity and increase of digital documentation in construction, the aspect of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is of great importance. In order to carry out a successful project, it is advantageous to make the project more transparent, optimize the process and the communication between the active stakeholders of the project e.g. The Project Manager, in the field of construction, is faced with dealing with and preferably minimizing these risks. Furthermore, the nature of construction projects, with their high value, long duration and multiple factors of uncertainties, often results in delays and busted budgets. ]Īs the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry evolves the demand for more complex and unique constructions increases, and the risk for failure increases with it.
