BIM handbook: a guide to building information modeling for owners, managers, designers, engineers and contractors (Third edition.)

Building Information Modeling (BIM) offers a novel approach to design, construction, and facility management in which a digital representation of the building product and process is used to facilitate the exchange and interoperability of information in digital format.

BIM is beginning to change the way buildings look, the way they function, and the ways in which they are designed and built.

This edition provides an in-depth understanding of BIM technologies, the business and organizational issues associated with its implementation, and the profound advantages that effective use of BIM can provide to all members of a project team.
