What is BIM?
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a collaborative process that uses intelligent 3D models to generate and manage data throughout a building’s entire lifecycle. These models capture both the physical and functional characteristics of a structure, serving as a shared knowledge resource for more informed decision-making across design, construction, and operation.
BIM is transforming the construction industry by replacing traditional 2D drawings with highly coordinated 3D digital models. These intelligent models streamline workflows, improve collaboration, and drive cost savings by enhancing accuracy and reducing errors. Compared to conventional methods, BIM fosters innovation, efficiency, and long-term sustainability in the built environment.
At the BLEA, our mission is to empower the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry in East Africa and beyond by providing cutting-edge technology and high-quality construction products.
