Plumbing in Building Information Modeling (BIM) refers to the process of creating and integrating detailed digital representations of plumbing systems within a 3D model of a building or infrastructure project. BIM is a collaborative approach that allows architects, engineers, contractors, and other stakeholders to work together in a virtual environment, enhancing the planning, design, construction, and management of a project.

​

In the context of BIM, plumbing includes various systems and components related to water supply, drainage, and sewage within a building. This encompasses water pipes, drainage pipes, fixtures, valves, pumps, water heaters, and other plumbing equipment.

 

Plumbing in BIM goes beyond traditional 2D drawings and incorporates three-dimensional models, accurate dimensions, and data-rich information about the plumbing systems.
