The NBS defines BIM as the following:

 

"BIM or Building Information Modelling is a process for creating and managing information on a construction project across the project lifecycle".

 

• EDocuments is a process-driven platform for classifying, categorising, validating and tracking information.

 

"One of the key outputs of this process is the Building Information Model, the digital description of every aspect of the built asset". 

 

• EDocuments focuses on creating and sharing the underlying asset data and meta data rather than file sharing.

 

"This model draws on information assembled collaboratively and updated at key stages of a project."

 

• EDocuments provides a higher degree of flexibility when collaborating, sharing and transferring information between software platforms.

 

"Creating a digital Building Information Model enables those who interact with the building to optimize their actions, resulting in a greater whole life value for the asset."

 

• EDocuments is built on a "single input - multiple output" architecture so that users can easily search and find information relevant to them.

 

So yes, generally all information managed using the EDocuments platform is "BIM". 

BIM is not defined based on the presence of a 3D model or by a COBie deliverable. When defining BIM refer to one of the levels below:

 

EDocuments takes a structured, process driven, shared approach to information management irrespective of; size/type of project, levels of BIM or 3D models.

By using EDocuments to manage information you get the benefits of structure, process, classification and auditability as standard.
