In the world of digital construction, information models are fundamental to the planning, design and execution of projects. At 3D Global Consulting, we understand that BIM methodology is not just about creating 3D geometric models, but about managing accurate data and information throughout the project lifecycle. This approach allows us to offer efficient and customized solutions, ensuring interoperability and collaboration among all involved.

What is a BIM Information Model?

When we talk about BIMthe first association is usually with tools like Revit, but the real heart of BIM is information. At 3D Global Consulting, we use information models that integrate not only the geometry of the project, but also the accompanying data and documentation. The key to success in BIM is the management of this information and its continuous updating, which optimizes decision making during project execution and operation.

A BIM model should include three fundamental types of information:

1. Geometry: Three-dimensional representation of the project elements at actual scale.
   Data: Information associated with each component (dimensions, materials, technical specifications, etc.).
2. Documentation: Drawings, data sheets, reports and any other document that supports the execution of the project.
3. Documentation: Plans, technical sheets, reports and any other document that supports the execution of the project.

Types of Models in BIM: PIM and AIM

At 3D Global Consulting, we work with two main types of information models:

1. Project Information Model (PIM)This type of model is developed during the design and execution phase. It includes both the project geometry and the data and documents required for construction.
2. Asset Information Model (AIM):Once the project is completed, this model is used to manage the asset during its operation and maintenance phase. Here, information is crucial to ensure the durability and efficiency of the facilities.

What makes our BIM models unique is that we do not limit ourselves to geometric aspects. Each model is a repository of interconnected information n which documentation, data and geometry are linked in a bidirectional manner. This allows us to manage project changes more efficiently and facilitates interoperability between the different systems involved in each phase of the project life cycle.

Information Optimization: A Requirement in Every Phase

To achieve maximum efficiency, information management in BIM models must follow three essential steps:

• Define information requirements: Identify what data and documents are needed from the beginning of the project.
• Plan the development of information: Establish a roadmap for the continuous updating and management of information.
• Develop and update information: Ensure that all changes and updates are correctly reflected in the model.

The Key: Dynamic and Efficient Information Models

At 3D Global Consulting, we follow the best practices established by ISO 19650 to ensure that our BIM models are not only visually accurate, but also contain all the information needed to effectively manage the project.

Unlike traditional BIM models, our information models are designed to be bi-directional. This means that any changes to the data are automatically reflected in the project geometry and vice versa. This integration capability ensures that projects can be executed with greater accuracy and less risk.

Conclusion: Information Modeling as a Foundation for Success

At 3D Global ConsultingInformation modeling not only allows us to design accurately, but also to manage the entire life cycle of the asset, from construction to maintenance. With the right approach to information management, we optimize each phase of the project and ensure efficient and sustainable use of resources.

This trend towards a greater focus on data will continue to evolve, and we are prepared to offer solutions adapted to the future needs of the market. At 3D Global Consulting, information modeling and data optimization are the key to transform each project into a tangible and efficient reality.
