1. INTRODUCTION
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a relatively new approach to design construction and facility management. BIM is beginning to change the way buildings look the way they function and the ways in which they are built.BIM is not a thing or type of software but a human activity that ultimately involves broad process changes in construction (Chuck Eastman et al. 2007). However the concepts and methodologies that are identified as BIM can be dated back to thirty years while the terminology of BIM has been in circulation for the past fifteen years.
The Indian building and construction industry is expanding phenomenally. There has been a significant increase in the construction of commercial facilities, residential complexes and infrastructure such as roads and bridges. With the involvement of multiple participating groups in a number of locations who need the most up-to-date information, Building Information Modeling enables building industry professionals in India to use a more organized and automated method in their business.
Here in this project, I intend to explore BIM, assess the present status of BIM and hence propose suggestions for its effective implementation in the Indian construction industry.
2. OBJECTIVE
2.1) To investigate the applicability of Building Information Modeling Tools with respect to the various Building Lifecycle stages in the Indian context.
2.2) Identify barriers to implementation of Building Information Modeling.
2.3) Propose suggestions for effective implementation of BIM in the Indian Construction Industry.
3. SCOPE
3.1)This study (survey) is limited to the Indian context.
3.2)This study does not venture into programming or coding but identifies and analyzes the key management issues regarding the implementation of BIM.
4. METHODOLOGY
4.1) Understanding BIM concepts
4.2) Interpretation of the Global scenario in BIM
4.3) Comparative study (Literature) of major BIM tools
4.4) Modeling a project on a BIM platform
4.5) Realize the scope of the BIM tool
4.6) Design/Conduction of a Questionnaire survey on implementation of BIM
4.7) Analysis of the data collected
4.8) Comparison of results from literature and questionnaire survey
4.9) Propose ways to effective implementation of BIM in Indian context
4.10) Draw Conclusions & Recommendations
5. LIST OF WORK ELEMENTS
5.1) Literature Review
What is BIM (Building Information Modeling)?

Data Analysis
5.4) Comparison with International Trends
5.5) Implementation of BIM in Indian Context
Proposals for effective implementation of BIM
Guidelines for realization
5.6) Scope for further research
5.7) Conclusions
6. WORK ELEMENTS COMPLETED
6.1) Literature Review
Building Information Models or Modeling (BIM): are product models that are object-oriented in the sense that the model explicitly identifies the constructable elements of a building, such as its columns, beams, windows and slabs. The idealistic goal of BIM has been to provide a single building model capable of being used throughout the process. With its focus on the facility design, BIM is a subset of VDC.
The various benefits of BIM can be classified under the following subclasses:
a)Pre Construction benefits for the owner
b)Design benefits
c)Construction and fabrication benefits
d)Post construction benefits
Comparative study of the four major BIM tools was conducted:
a)Autodesk Revit
b)ArchiCAD
c)Bentley Architecture
d)Digital Project
The current trends in Building information modeling can be classified as:
a)Process trends
b)Technology trends
6.2) Project Modeling In Autodesk Revit
The Virtual building model for the G-type quarters proposed in Indian Institute of Technology, Madras has been modeled in Autodesk Revit Architecture. Walkthroughs, Lighting simulation, Solar Studies, Quantity take off and Rendering has been successfully completed.
