The building information modeling - BIM is a technology developed toward creation of computer based information model that encompasses whole building lifecycle. Toward that goal a number of information technology standards have been developed that enable different professions in AEC to cooperatively develop electronic building model. The paper gives overview of essential technologies, discusses their intended purpose, and gives outline of the currently achieved functionality.

The Computer Models Of Buildings That Contain All The Information About Future Facilities, Which Is Called BIM (Building Information Modeling) Technologies, Took An Important Place In Architectural Offices And Architectural Design. By Means Of BIM Technologies, The Main Groups Of Specialists Had A Chance To Collaborate From The Very Beginning Of The Creation Of The Building Model And Its Use Up To The End Of The Design Of The Building. Since The 1960s, Computer Programs Were Mainly For Drawing, But With BIM Technologies, It Is Possible To Present A Virtual Reality Of A Building Process. Since It Is Extremely Important To Select Suitable Software To Perform The Analysis And Design In Building Tasks, With The Existence Of Much-Specialized Software In These Domains, In This Paper, Based On The Investigations Performed Especially For The Last Decade Developments And Added Capabilities, A Guideline For Architects And Engineers Is Presented. In This Regard Many Software Were Evaluated And The Most Useful Used Ones Such As Graphisoft Archicad, Autodesk Revit Architecture, Gehry Tech., Nemetschek Allplan Architecture, TAD, Nemetschek Vectorworks Architect, Digital Project Designer, Microstation, Dynamo Studio, Freecad Architecture, Sketchup Software Are Recommended To Be Employed In Analysis And Design Of Buildings. Employing The Recommended Software, Not Only Facilitate The Teamwork In Design But Also Increase The Performance Of The Design

Current facility management practice relies on different systems which require new technologies to integrate and manage information more easily. Building information modeling offers a good opportunity to improve facility information management by providing a unified platform for various data sources rather than an intuitive information interface. Although current research trends reveal that there is a continuously growing interest in facility management aided by building information modeling, an integrated model is still hard to obtain. This paper aims at developing a novel methodology based on building information modeling and facility management systems integration, underpinned by a performance information model. The implementation process of a performance information model is described, including information technologies involved, the data and process requirements, and the building performance assessment methods used. A first pilot case-study has been conducted with regards to surgery rooms in healthcare buildings. The proposal can support condition-based maintenance work schedule, as well as the achievement of organizational, environmental, and technical requirements. Among the practical implications found: Improved technological and environmental performances assessment; better visualization of building condition; improved decision-making process; facilitated maintenance tasks planning and maintenance records management.

Building Information Modeling (from English, Building Information Modeling, BIM) – the use of a general digital representation of an object under construction to facilitate the design, construction and operation processes in order to create a reliable basis for decision making. The Building Information Model (from English, Building Information Models, BIMs) is a set of structured and unstructured information containers (datasets) within a holistic information system, containing the necessary geometric, physical, functional and other characteristics of an object, which are a source for documentation accompanying the life cycle of an object (project documentation, estimates, etc.). The content of the construction information model is identical to the content of the project documentation, expanded with additional data. Within the construction industry, it is the implementation of specific tasks and procedures applied to the processes of entering, processing, creating and transmitting data to ensure the accuracy and integrity of information throughout the entire life cycle of an object, based on the definition of Information Management. This is to guide the implementation of BIM in an organization, ensure that BIM-related goals are achieved, and support the development / delivery of new services and the effectiveness of information modeling. The implementation and development of ВIM technologies requires the creation of communities that will serve as a tool for the promotion and implementation of ВIM technologies. In Ukraine, there is no expert environment on ВIM at the state level, but it is available in business. Therefore, the logical formula for creating a common platform for the promotion of VIM would be to involve representatives of all stakeholders with equal voting rights: the state, business, the public. It is proposed to create a community of UA BIM Task Group for the period necessary for sufficient integration of ВIM into the construction industry (approximately 10-15 years). The organization should consist of three components: membership; expert; secretariat.

The Building Information Modeling (BIM) has now become a collaborative system that greatly benefits the industries involved in the AEC sector. The essence of BIM is to be a container core with graphic and alphanumeric information, where each discipline participatory dump their knowledge to suit the peculiarities of the building in coordination with the other agents involved. If this same scenario is moved to Heritage, we see that the needs are the same; archaeologist, architect, historian, restorer or engineer are at the same crossroads when it comes to passing on their assumptions and subject to debate before approval. The article will present an effective methodology to implement the stratigraphic study of surfaces. The intention is to dump the information gathered in Phase auscultation in a single graphical model, operating from different disciplines and allows inter operationalize avoiding unnecessary data duplication and contradictory. An intervention project supported by an information model of the Historic Building, which we can call HBIM Project (Historic Building Information Modelling Project) is established.
