The BIM managers handbook

By Dominik Holzer

The BIM managers handbook: BIM is changing, and rapidly so.

While it remained predominantly the domain of technology specialists in architecture and engineering firms in the early twenty-first century, it is now steadily gaining relevance for a broad range of stakeholders in the design, construction, manufacture, and operation of built assets.

The BIM managers handbook-Hand in hand with the dissemination of BIM comes the dissemination of knowledge associated to its application and the diversification of tasks associated to its management.

BIM Managers are becoming far more relevant than simply acting as implementers of technology.

They are in fact change agents and if they do their job well, it ties in closely with the core business pursued by their organizations.

Beyond that, BIM Managers are becoming key innovators who help to transform the construction industry and associated professions globally.

The BIM managers handbook was conceived to offer concise guidance and support to those trying to embrace the many facets of BIM Management.

The chapters herein were originally published online as six eParts, each one related to all others, but at the same time sufficiently distinct to act as independent contributions to a whole.

The sequential release as eParts has led to discrete, easily digestible sections on highly profiled topics, allowing for latest trends and developments about BIM to be included.

In book form, the structure has the advantage that contents are very focused.

The reader can go to individual chapters on a needs-to basis for information and advice.
