122 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. "In an era where technological advances have revolutionized nearly every industry, the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sectors have lagged in productivity gains. Complex project requirements, fragmented processes, and reliance on manual labor have hindered efficiency and added to the challenges in these fields. Building Information Modeling (BIM) offers a transformative solution, promising not only a more efficient design process but also a powerful, unified platform for collaboration, project management, and lifecycle maintenance. The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of BIM, from its fundamental principles to its more advanced applications and challenges. It serves as a guide for students, professionals, and industry leaders alike who are seeking to understand BIM's role in reshaping the way we design, construct, and maintain buildings. Rather than focusing solely on technical aspects, this book explores BIM as a tool that fosters a new approach to managing building information, streamlining the design process, and creating sustainable solutions for the modern world."
