Publisher's Synopsis
In the debate about what Building Information Modelling means for the future of the construction industry, there is a need for clear, no-nonsense guidance aimed at ‘ordinary' architects, outlining the practical advantages that BIM can bring to their practices today. This Good Practice Guide provides exactly that: a short, practical introduction to the adoption and use of BIM, relevant to a range of practice sizes from small and solo practices through to medium and large, and explaining in simple terms what BIM is, how it can be adopted, and whether it really is a leap into the unknown. Revealing the immediate, practical benefits for the client, the project team, the projects, and the practice itself, this book takes steps for the many who, so far, may not have managed to demystify the topic themselves.
