5D Building Information Modelling (BIM)
5D BIM refers to the intelligent linking of 3D components or assemblies with time schedule (4D BIM) constraints and then with cost-related information, which enables participants to visualise construction progress and related costs over time. However, the industry is already looking at the next step-up – 6D BIM – which provides additional information related to operation and facility maintenance and provides more knowledge of the life cycle cost of an asset along with construction. Governments are helping with the transformation with regulations and incentives to accommodate more modern methods of construction and push for standardisation.
