ABSTRACT
A concept that is constantly evolving and adapting to new ways of usage within the architecture, engineering, construction and operations (AECO) industry is Building Information Modelling (BIM). BIM is defined in varied ways across literature; from being solely perceived as a software tool for visual information-sharing by project participants; to an elaborate methodology for integrating data-rich, object-based models across the whole project life-cycle (Succar, 2009). An elaboration of this definition has been provided in Chapter 1.
