Powered by artificial intelligence, BIM 2.0 is transforming the way building information is created and managed—automating design, integrating dynamic data, and optimising processes in real time. This evolution is propelling the AECO sector toward smarter, more adaptive management.
The evolution towards Building Information Modelling (BIM) 2.0 marks a turning point in the architecture, engineering, construction and operations (AECO) sector, where artificial intelligence (AI) ceases to be a supporting tool and becomes the central driver of building design and management.
This transformation is not merely a software upgrade, but a profound reconfiguration of the construction process—from project conception to real-time operation.
The most significant shift lies in the change of approach: we move from manual modelling to automated optimisation. BIM 2.0 employs generative algorithms to explore thousands of design alternatives within hours, factoring in structural efficiency, energy consumption, costs and regulations. Moreover, the integration of dynamic data (IoT sensors, suppliers, weather) turns models into living systems that update and learn continuously.
