Welcome back to BIM Shorts, your go-to mini-podcast for quick BIM insights. Today, we're diving into BIM dimensions beyond 5D, a topic often surrounded by confusion. While there's no international consensus on what 6D, 7D, or other dimensions represent, what truly matters is how we use the information layers in a BIM model throughout the project lifecycle.
We'll explore potential dimensions like sustainability, which integrates environmental data to optimize a project's environmental performance, and facility management, which covers operational aspects like asset status and maintenance schedules. We also touch on safety, incorporating health and safety considerations to improve job site safety.
Remember, it's not about the names of the dimensions but how effectively we use the information. Stay tuned for more BIM insights. Let's build a better world together with BIM!
