BIM research and Implementation
Building Information Modeling (BIM) research and implementation services involve the study, development, and application of BIM technologies and methodologies in construction and facilities management projects. BIM is a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a facility, which serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility, forming a reliable basis for decisions during its lifecycle.
