...This book offers real-world advice on how you can create that digital transformation and successfully realise the benefits that BIM will bring through more efficient and innovative ways of working. Extract from Foreword by David Philp, Head of UK BIM Task GroupThis book presents a unique view of the key issues for adopting BIM in construction projects from a pragmatic perspective. It provides an overview of the core ideas and issues distilled from various guidance documents. It focuses primarily on the more complex and important issues of processes, standards and protocols that need to be in place for the successful adoption of BIM in construction projects. In so doing, it provides reader-friendly guidance to enable the engineer or student to fully understand the implications of the process and to facilitate the application of the principles and techniques in real scenarios. The author presents a balanced approach combining sufficient background theory and practical ideas to ensure the book is applicable and relevant to practising engineers and students alike. Similarly although much of the topic emanates from the UK, it is equally applicable in any country where best practice is desired.
