Building Information Modeling in Pedagogy and PracticeUtgave 1

The adoption of building information modeling (BIM) in both pedagogy and practice has experienced significant growth in the past decade. As the use of BIM is being quantitatively and qualitatively shown to improve project outcomes, many educators and practitioners are still struggling with how to incorporate BIM into curriculum, training, and current and future projects.

This book:

• is a compilation of the best academic and research articles on the topic of BIM
• provides a resource for both educators and practitioners for understanding issues regarding BIM
• covers BIM topics such as BIM Execution Planning, Collaboration, Visualization, Site Utilization Planning, Safety, Estimating, Sequencing, Coordination/Clash Detections, Integrated Project Delivery, Legal considerations for BIM, Industry Uses of BIM, Sustainability, Facilities Management, Interoperability, Modular Construction, and Virtual Reality
• and includes a new introduction and conclusion

Building Information Modeling in Pedagogy and Practice will be an invaluable resource for engaged academics and teaching practitioners interested in playing a key role in the future development of the building profession, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students wishing to understand the importance of BIM.

Most of the chapters in this book were originally published in the International Journal of Construction Education and Research.
