Modeling (BIM): Models of project product, focus on design

Virtual Design and Construction (VDC): Models of project Product (i.e., facilities), Work Processes

and Organization Intent, form (design choices), behavior (predicted,

observed) BIM a subset of VDC

GSA National 3D-4D BIM Program

BIM Overview 3D geometric models

Geometric representation of building components and typically serve as an aid for visualization and design/construction coordination.

4D models (3D + time) Include information which can inform and analyze project

phasing, tenant sequencing, and construction scheduling. BIM models include not only 3D geometric models (and,

therefore, 2D and 3D drawings), but also more specific product information on a wide range of building elements and systems associated with a proposed building

GSA National 3D-4D BIM Program

For all major projects funded in October 2007 and beyond, GSA will require spatial program BIMs be the minimum requirements for submission for Final Concept approvals by the PBS Commissioner and the Chief Architect.
