Review
This is a time of huge opportunities. BIG BIM little bim explains how you can take advantage of them. Cut through the confusion and uncertainty. Those that understand the process see real rewards. There are huge risks for those that do not. This book explains what you need to know to cut through the noise... --Kimon G. Onuma, AIA
This practical book shows us how to use integrated practices, become more creative problem solvers and, ultimately, take the lead in the design delivery process. I strongly recommend this book to architects and others in the design and construction industry. --Hugh Livingston
BIG BIM, little bim is a rare find a book that provides thoughtful ideas on leading successful design build during a time of great changes and architectural advances. This book shows us how to manage projects and clients more effectively while also minimizing constraints in the architectural process. --W. Frank Brady

This review is from: BIG BIM little bim - The practical approach to Building Information Modeling - Integrated practice done the right way! (Paperback)
Can't say what I expected when I bought this book. It's all over the map and I'm expecting PBS to pick this guy up as an architectural self-help guru.
I have never seen so many numbers thrown around as the "4Site" system that is best used with the 80/20 principle that then moves on to the Power of Sixteen Concept that can then be better handled with the 400% Rule (page 136). I am seriously paraphrasing here, but it can be daunting trying to keep with the threads. Having cleared my system of that I will say that there are a number of things that can be taken away from this book (failing fast is my favorite). It is on the extreme end of the "architecture-is-a-business" end of things, but as is so often pointed out in this book, it is what is so often left out of an architects' equation. And an omission that, if not tended to, will push architects further to the fringe of the construction industry. Mr. Jernigan, I have no doubt, knows what he is talking about--it's just such a difficult read.

I found this book informitive and useful in understanding this technology and how to integrate it into your practice. Whether you have a large architectural firm or a small one, this book will provide a practical guide for using Building Information Modeling in your workflow and how to approach your projects as a totally integrated practice.

This review is from: BIG BIM little bim - The practical approach to Building Information Modeling - Integrated practice done the right way! (Paperback)
Beside overwhelming acronyms DRM, CVM, DPM... I got lost with the numbers: The 80/20 principle (...) The Power of Sixteen Concept (...), and the 400% rule (Still there...?)
To be fair it holds a great deal of useful information but not well presented.
