Making a meaningful Building Information Model (BIM) can be as easy as making reservations for a plane ticket, hotel, rental car and dinner on the Expedia.com web portal. On Expedia.com you don’t have to know XML or HTML programming. You don’t have to know what software programs are working together to optimize your search for a hotel and restaurant near the convention center.

With an "Expedia™" type web portal you can make a Building Information Model without even knowing what “BIM” means. The complexity of integrating relevant information happens in the background and the user is presented with a customized decision making tool in a interface that is familiar to that particular user's expertise.

The tools that ONUMA, Inc. creates are based on the simple user interface that is connected to the larger picture. The blobs in this image can represent more detailed 3d, 2d or other data.
