Technology integration can be considered as the path of developing the concerned field. Today, many fields flow through the digital surface and enhance effectiveness by providing user-friendly scenarios. BIM is an example of it that can be mentioned as the foundation technology in the architectural, engineering, and construction fields. 

What?

BIM is a process of building and managing information of a built asset through a cloud-based platform. This technology can be considered as the intelligent model of that asset and used for the integration of structuring and representing assets digitally in the entire life cycle of the asset from planning to operation stage. 

Why?

This is the technology that linking workflow and data with the project team during the project. It is beneficial in operations and maintenance activities by allowing capturing data. Due to it, the technology realises better work and good outcomes. 

How?

BIM is a technology that integrates with the entire life cycle of an asset in planning, designing, building, and operating stages by creating intelligent data. 

1. Under the planning stage, BIM integrates the reality capturing and real-time data for building context models by considering the environment and existing work. 
2. Then, BIM data is used for conceptual designing, analysing, detailing, and documenting the process with the start of pre-construction in the designing stage. 
3. The building phase flows with the specifications generated by BIM, and it links data with contractors and trades to enhance the efficiency of the project by ensuring the time. 
4. Then, BIM data is used for the operation and maintenance activities, and the renovation and deconstruction work. 

BIM is the technology that is used in the architectural, engineering, and construction industry. FM is the representative of the client and joins in planning, designing, building, and operating an asset. Since it, the outcome of BIM is very essential as FM.
