<p>Building Information Modeling, or BIM, is a process
that is quickly changing the way Architectural, Engineering, and Construction
companies manage construction projects.
Being a company specific process, only parts of the process have been
accepted as a standardized method across every company. Those components that
are not standardized have become proprietary to each specific company. The goal of the research is to provide a rich
and complete description of the use of BIM across multiple Architectural,
Engineering and Construction (AEC) companies in order to inform and integrate
BIM into construction graphics and management curricula in higher education. The
literature review generated a thorough understanding of BIM standards currently
identified. The methodology, a comparison of BIM theory to industrial practices,
provided a broader picture of all aspects of BIM being utilized in current AEC
companies. The results identified a comparison of all aspects of BIM to current
AEC practices and paints a well-defined picture of what is being accomplished
with BIM within company construction processes across AEC companies that are classified
into several categories. BIM practices within each company indicate
similarities and differences that give a rich BIM description across the entire
AEC industry. The results suggest a high usage of BIM across more areas than
just construction of the building branching out to all areas within a set of
construction documents for project management.
