Summary:

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a design and construction software that manages not just graphics, but also information-information that enables the automatic generation of drawings and reports, design analysis, schedule simulation, facilities management, and cost analysis-ultimately enabling any building team to make better-informed decisions. This allows a range of professionals-architects, engineers, construction managers, surveyors, cost estimators, project managers, and facility managers-to share information throughout a building's lifecycle. BIM is now recognized worldwide for the efficiencies it delivers in terms of working collaboratively, communication, processes, cost savings, and a property's lifecycle management. With the widespread adoption of BIM, BIM Managers have become a much-needed new breed of professionals in architectural, engineering, and construction practice. Their role is often misunderstood and ill-defined, as are the day-to-day deliverables that the position encompasses. The BIM Manager's Handbook provides an in-depth account of the breadth of activities that any BIM Manager or staff member, who is actively engaged in the delivery of a project, is required to undertake. The BIM Manager's Handbook is organized into six distinct parts, which have been pre-released as an ePart series. The first two parts are 'Best Practice BIM' and 'Change Management' (released April 2015); followed by eParts 3 and 4, 'Focus on Technology' and 'Building Up a BIM Support Infrastructure' (August 2015); and eParts 5 and 6, 'Day-to-Day BIM Management' and 'Excelling your BIM Efforts' (November 2015). The handbook compiles all these sections into a complete work with the addition of an introduction, epilogue and index. Book jacket.
