dc.description	Since construction industry is very rigid to new changes because the people involved in it are used to all the previous methods and ways. However the new advancements introduced in the industry are obviously for the betterment of the industry. One of the modern technology the use of which has helped in the industry is Building Information Modeling (BIM). It is the method of documenting all the data of the construction project in such a manner that it integrates all the phases and handling the data has been very much effective. The technology is so attractive that according to certain studies it has been able to reduce the costs and time taken of the project as well AIA (2007). In the construction industry the two main stakeholders the contractor and the client are in search of these things. The contractor wants the project time taken to be reduced and the owner wants to spend as less as possible. Along with it certain models are prepared prior to the execution of the project during the planning phase, which gives detailed visualizations of the project that given that at the very start of the project all the stakeholders are having a very good idea of what the end product would be. The flow of the project involves creation of 3D model of NUST School of Social Sciences and Humanities using the tools of Autodesk Revit 2013 which included Architectural model, Structural model and MEP model. Later on this model was used for different kind of analysis. The model was exported to Autodesk QTO to estimate the quantities in the building model. Autodesk Naviswork was used for the clash detection of all the three models within themselves and also for the simulation of the activities of the project. Preliminary energy analysis was carried out using Autodesk 360 service Green Building Studio. All these studies are compiled in this report to understand how BIM could be useful to the construction industry.	en_US
