BIM in Principle and in Practice, Third edition

BIM in Principle and in Practice, now in its third edition, is an indispensable guide to BIM principles and techniques. It provides clear explanations of core concepts. Plus, it answers many of the common questions that are asked about BIM.

In contrast to other narrow guidance on BIM, this book offers a straightforward overview of BIM fundamentals in simple language. It features clear explanations of how we use BIM at each stage of a construction project. Coverage includes core concepts, benefits of using BIM, examples of BIM in practice, design liability and ownership, collaboration and contracts, and insurance.

Thoroughly revised to include the latest BIM developments, this edition includes in-depth coverage of current standards (BSI, PAS and ISO) and new case studies. Additionally, it features the UK Government’s 2016 Building Information Modelling mandate, as well as consolidated recommendations of the EU BIM Task Group. It also includes future directions including consideration of potential changes to EU Procurement rules following Brexit, and an extensive guide to further resources and reading.

BIM in Principle and in Practice will continue to be essential reading for civil engineers who require a firm grasp of how to use BIM and the benefits it can provide. Plus, it is also ideal reading for students on courses covering BIM techniques.
