National BIM Standard (NBIMS)

The National BIM Standard (NBIMS) is a set of guidelines and best practices in the United States for using Building Information Modeling (BIM). BIM is a digital process that creates detailed 3D models of buildings to improve design, construction, and maintenance. NBIMS ensures that everyone involved in building projects follows consistent procedures, making collaboration easier, reducing errors, and increasing efficiency. It helps different teams—architects, engineers, contractors—share accurate information throughout a building’s lifecycle, ultimately leading to better-quality projects delivered on time and within budget.
