What is 5D BIM?
What is 5D BIM and how can it help Cost Managers add value on building information modelling (BIM) projects? Fred Mills, Co-Founder of The B1M, explains in this simple and easily digestible 5 minute video.

In simple terms, BIM is the process of creating information models or data sets formed of graphical and non-graphical information in a shared digital space known as a Common Data Environment (CDE). The information builds in richness as the project stages progress until that complete data set is handed over to the Client at completion.

As you create an information model, you can add scheduling data to different components, generating accurate programme data for your project. This is known as 4D BIM. The next step is to produce accurate cost estimates from the components of the information model and it’s this process that is known as 5D BIM.
