Introduction to BIM Wiki

Welcome to BIM Wiki on Designing Buildings. This special subject hub is intended to distribute knowledge and spread awareness about building information modelling (BIM) to BIM newcomers as well as more experienced users. BIM WIki was launched in 2019, providing a free, open-access knowledge sharing platform to help make BIM mainstream.

To find a page, just type your subject into the search box. You can also use the directory on the right to start navigating, or click the 'All articles' tab at the top.

New and updated pages are being added all the time.

BIM Wiki was launched in response to research published by Designing Buildings that showed BIM remains an isolated subject, the domain of expert practitioners and not well integrated into the rest of the industry.

We are calling on the industry to help develop the site into a comprehensive source of BIM best practice by contributing new articles and engaging with the existing content.

You can write about any subject related to BIM, including research, publications, organisations, theories, news, products and practices. All we ask is that articles are factual (not adverts) and are encyclopaedic in style (not blog posts).

Designing Buildings includes 5 other special subject hubs. Created with our partners, they provide easy access to curated knowledge about particular aspects of the built environment:
