Expectations for the Wider Application of BIM in Steel-frame Construction

摘要

The BIM subcommittee of the Japan Federation of Construction Contractors1' published in December 2014 a handbook titled "What's Construction BIM-Handbook for the Collaboration of General Contractors and Subcontractors," which was the first manual in Japan for applying BIM (building information modeling) at the construction phase. It includes many figures and illustrations so that even beginners can easily read the Handbook and enhance their understanding of BIM (Photo 1).
