A BIM model can be utilized for predefined specific purposes, commonly known as usecases. According to project stage requirements and project complexity, specific parameters are added to the existing information contained in BIM. These additions of predefined used cases can be described as BIM dimensions.
These dimensions enhance the data associated with a model to share a greater level of understanding of a construction project.
In the modern era, BIM technology has evolved from basic 3D & 4D dimensions to more sophisticated 5D, 6D & 7D dimensions that are poised to change the future of AEC industry.
