BIM and Construction Management 1st Edition

Just what my son wanted

I'm amidst an implementation and reading this book hit right at the perfect time. Comforting to find out that many of the things mentioned in this book are paths we've already taken.

I work for a major general contractor in the United States, and I bought this book about a year ago for the Kindle. A few points on why it has been so invaluable to me:1. BIM is, and will continue to be, one of the hottest topics in the construction industry. If you work in construction you've certainly know that BIM is becoming a bigger part of what we do every day. This book is a great jumping off point as well as a reference while you are on a job.2. It is one of the few books on BIM that is written with from a construction perspective. There are an increasing number of books out there that talk about BIM, but so many of those are written from a design perspective, or from a more abstract perspective. This book speaks to issues specific to the construction industry from setting up a job trailer to running a coordination meeting.3. Since it is available in Kindle format, I've been able to have this information at my fingertips on any number of devices I have either in the office or in the field. I've referred to this book on my smartphone, tablet and or course my Kindle.If you work in construction, I would highly recommend this book to help get you up to speed on especially important topic.

This book is a very good way to either get started understanding BIM, or to use as a review module for those in the field who have been using such methods for a while. In fact this field is so hot, the book got stolen right off my seat when I took a head-break on the airplane. Sad, but now I get to write that off and buy an new copy. Hold on tight around the office too. Once I do get more than 3/4 of the way through I'll come back and complete a more detailed review. ~ BDH

The text of this book hits home, but it uses software not typically available to all readers. This would be a great book if it came with a CD with 90 or 180 day trials of the software so that the examples and tutorials can be worked through.

quite recommend that book. if you want to read about bim management, this is a good start. the writer transmit a lot of confidence.

This is an excellent and thorough description of BIM in the construction world. While it is written for construction, it is also a valuable read for Architects who care about process and are interested in enhanced BIM based project delivery (full circle BIM).

This book is exactly what the Architecture / Engineering / Construction (AEC) industry needed. This book is extremely helpful for those trying to implement BIM or thinking about implementing BIM in their company. This book is a must for any BIM Manager, Project Manager, Architect, and Owner. My only wish is that a new edition would be issued taking into account the absolute latest technologies and program releases because as we all know technology changes very quickly.
