Building information modeling

摘要

Building Information Modeling, by Karen M Kensek, is a guide for architects, engineers and construction professionals on the basics of BIM, describing diverse factors that need to be considered for its practical adoption in design and construction. BIM has the potential to revolutionise the way design and construction processes are delivered, helping to resolve long-standing issues of poor communication, poor information management and coordination, which have led to much waste and loss of value across construction projects. However, the implementation of BIM-based processes and technology is challenging, and this book highlights some of the practical issues currently faced by companies, as well as strategies needed to overcome these.
