BIM Integration
BIM Integration (Building Information Modeling Integration) is a modern approach to managing construction and infrastructure projects. Think of it as a smart digital system that combines 3D building models with project information like costs, timelines, and materials. It helps construction teams work together better by keeping all project information in one place that everyone can access. It's similar to how a shared online document allows multiple people to work together, but for building projects. When you see "BIM Integration" on a resume, it means the person knows how to combine this digital building information system with other tools and processes used in construction.
