The authors, among the leading experts and pioneers in BIM, show you how BIM supports more streamlined, integrated, and efficient business processes throughout the life cycle of buildings, from their initial conception through their eventual retirement or reuse. The result is better quality buildings, lower construction and operating costs, shorter project turnaround times, and a higher quality of building information to support better business decisions.  Moreover, they set forth a plan for incorporating BIM into every organization’s existing workflows, enabling you to take full advantage of all the benefits that BIM offers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEverything you need to implement a BIM approach is set forth in detail, including:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe business case for BIM, demonstrating how it can improve collaboration, facilitate better design and construction, optimize workflow, and help reduce risk\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGuidance for meeting the challenges of BIM such as an entrenched business culture, the proliferation of BIM tools, and the uneven rates of BIM adoption\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe “big picture” view showing how your organization can work with business partners and fit into the building life cycle in a BIM-enabled industry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThroughout the book, sample documents and figures help you better understand the principles of BIM and how it works in practice.
