History

Historical Context

Early building-modeling tools appeared in the late 1970s-early 1980s, and Autodesk’s 2002 white paper coined “Building Information Modeling.” Government mandates then accelerated adoption: the UK required collaborative 3D BIM for public projects by 2016, and Australia recommended mandatory BIM for large infrastructure in February 2016. These policies set the stage for the recent U.S. federal BIM push.
