Author: Nura Al Neama, Student from Qatar University Content: - Personal introduction and Nura’s way to BIM - BIM education and future of Qatar - A students perspective on the BIM User Day About the Qatar BIM User Day: Qatar University, HOCHTIEF ViCon and Teesside University proudly take the initiative to facilitate modern and innovative methods in the Gulf construction industry. The focus is Building Information Modeling (BIM), and our aim is to establish a knowledge platform with government, research and industry experts. The User Day aims to help people to share knowledge, discuss new technologies, and identify new potentials for BIM.

What is BIM?
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a purposeful process of
information management through the whole life cycle of any
project such as buildings, infrastructures, bridges and roads.
3D Model + Information

1. Reduction of errors and re-work
2. Higher quality of end products
3. Increase in the collaboration between stakeholders
4. Lower overall cost of construction
5. Better communication through simulation and visualization
6. Easy access to detailed project data
7. Increased transparency of building information

BIM Education & Future of Qatar
BIM should play an important role in our
major educational courses. As future
architects and engineers we realize how much
it can support multidisciplinary work. It is
crucial for us to be well-prepared for joining
the work force and helping Qatar achieve its
ambitious goals in the near future.
