A sleeker, more comprehensive approach to construction projects

BIM and Construction Management, Second Edition is a complete integration guide, featuring practical advice, project tested methods and workflows, and tutorials for implementing Building Information Modeling and technology in construction. Updated to align with the latest software editions from Autodesk, Trimble and Bentley, this book provides a common sense approach to leveraging BIM to provide significant value throughout a project's life cycle. This book outlines a results-focused approach which shows you how to incorporate BIM and other technologies into all phases of construction management, such as:

Project planning: Set up the BIM project to succeed right from the start by using the right contracts, the right processes and the right technology

Marketing: How to exceed customer expectations and market your brand of BIM to win.

Pre-construction: Take a practical approach to engineer out risks in your project by using the model early to virtually build and analyze your project, prior to physical construction.

Construction: Leverage the model throughout construction to build safer and with better quality.

Field work: Learn how mobile technologies have disrupted the way we work in the field to optimize efficiencies and access information faster.

Closeout: Deliver a better product to your customer that goes beyond the physical structure and better prepares them for future operations.

Additionally, the book provides a look at technology trends in construction and a thoughtful perspective into potential use cases going forward.

BIM and Construction Management, Second Edition builds on what has changed in the construction landscape and highlights a new way of delivering BIM-enabled projects. Aligning to industry trends such as Lean, integrated delivery methods, mobile platforms and cloud-based collaboration this book illustrates how using BIM and technology efficiently can create value.

Unrealistic

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

In the real world, profitability is more important than creating sophisticated models. As a structural engineer, I think it's cheaper to throw half-assed plans out the door and deal with construction administration issues as they arise. Creating, coordinating, and sharing BIM models among all team-members as described in this book is prohibitively expensive. I agree the whole construction industry is extremely wasteful, and I like the fantastical ideas presented, but contractors and software don't play nicely together, and these utopian ideals are decades away. Reading this book is like reading about interstellar travel. Fun, but unproductive.

Also, what the **** does BIM stand for? All initialisms should be written out long-hand the first time they are presented. Seriously Brad and Dave wtf? Using the initialism in the title doesn't exempt you from the simple writing tools your teachers have been telling you since the fifth grade.
