A Practical Guide to Adopting BIM in Construction Projects;

A unique view of the key issues for adopting building information modeling (BIM) in construction projects. It provides an overview of the core ideas and issues distilled from various guidance documents and focuses primarily on the more complex and important topics of processes, standards and protocols that need to be in place for the successful adoption of BIM. In so doing, it provides guidance to enable the engineer or student to fully understand the implications of the process and to facilitate the application of the principles and techniques in real scenarios.

The author presents a balanced approach combining sufficient background theory and practical ideas to ensure the book is applicable and relevant to practicing engineers and students alike. Similarly although much of the topic emanates from the UK, it is equally applicable in any country where best practice is desired.
