5D BIM

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

5D BIM, an acronym for 5D Building Information Modeling and a term widely used in the CAD industry, which refers to the intelligent linking of individual 3D CAD components or assemblies with schedule (time) constraint and cost-related information.[1] The use of the term 5D is intended to refer to the addition of fourth dimension: time and fifth dimension: cost to the 3D model, i.e. 5D is 3D + schedule (time) + cost.[2]

The construction of the 5D models enables the various participants ( from architects, designers, contractors to owners) of any construction project, to visualize the progress of construction activities and its related costs over time.[3][4][5] This BIM-centric project management technique has a potential to vastly improves the project management and delivery of construction project of any size and complexity.
