For the definition of construction project management, it’s basically PMI’s definition in the construction context. Following initiation, the project team creates a roadmap — the project management plan (PMP) , a formal document that outlines the project’s execution and control. Are all contract documents signed?

Since the “accepted” definition of BIM is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology , it’s easy to see that BIM is part process and part technology, with the goal of developing and using current, accurate, shared information to optimize proactive decision-making.
