Building Information Modeling (BIM) offers a novel approach to design,
construction, and facility management in which a digital representation of the
building 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.

The BIM Handbook, Second 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. Updates to this edition include:

Completely updated material covering the current practice and technology in this
fast-moving field

Expanded coverage of lean construction and its use of BIM, with special focus on
Integrated Project Delivery throughout the book

New insight on the ways BIM facilitates sustainable building

New information on interoperability schemas and collaboration tools

Six new case studies

Painting a colorful and thorough picture of the state of the art in building
information modeling, the BIM Handbook, Second Edition guides readers to successful
implementations, helping them to avoid needless frustration and costs and take full
advantage of this paradigm-shifting approach to construct better buildings that
consume fewer materials and require less time, labor, and capital resources.
