Asset Information Model

A sub-type of Information Models supporting the maintenance, management and operation of an asset throughout its life cycle.
An Asset Information Model (AIM) is used (a) as a repository for all information about the asset; (b) as a means to access/link to enterprise systems (e.g.CMMS and BMS); and (c) as a means to receive and centralize information from other parties throughout project stages.

Augmented Reality


A technology allowing users to experience virtual models superimposed on top of physical objects or places. As opposed to Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality (AR) is only a partial Immersive Environment to allow images from the physical and virtual worlds to appear as one. AR is typically experienced through hand-held screens, holograms and projections.

Big BIM

Big picture business process changes and the steps needed to integrate data from everywhere to understand what you are doing in a big world context. Business requirements, building industry data, geographical information and real-time operations intersect to support integrated decision-making using interfaces tailored to individual users and needs. Data and information are king. With BIG BIM, data is fed from distributed, shareable and interoperable repositories, interconnected to encompass everything about assets. You create or manipulate data using an almost unlimited set of tools in a sustainable process that is no longer in isolation from anything or anyone (also refer to little bim)
