The optimal approach to design, build, operate, and maintain
buildings
With this strategic guide to building information modeling
(BIM), you’ll learn how to implement this new technology as
part of a comprehensive systems approach to the design,
construction, management, operation, maintenance, and use of
buildings. The authors, among the leading experts and
pioneers in BIM, show you how BIM supports more streamlined,
integrated, and efficient business processes throughout the life
cycle of buildings, from their initial conception through their
eventual retirement or reuse. The result is better quality
buildings, lower construction and operating costs, shorter project
turnaround times, and a higher quality of building information to
support better business decisions. Moreover, they set forth a
plan for incorporating BIM into every organization’s existing
workflows, enabling you to take full advantage of all the benefits
that BIM offers.
Everything you need to implement a BIM approach is set
forth in detail, including:
* The business case for BIM, demonstrating how it can improve
collaboration, facilitate better design and construction, optimize
workflow, and help reduce risk
* Guidance for meeting the challenges of BIM such as an
entrenched business culture, the proliferation of BIM tools, and
the uneven rates of BIM adoption
* The ‘big picture’ view showing how your
organization can work with business partners and fit into the
building life cycle in a BIM-enabled industry
Throughout the book, sample documents and figures help you
better understand the principles of BIM and how it works in
practice. In addition, first-hand accounts show you exactly
how adopters of BIM have gained a competitive edge.
Architects, engineers, constructors, building owners, and
facility managers can turn to this book to realize the full
potential of BIM and radically improve the way buildings are
designed, built, operated, and maintained.
