BIM for Project Managers is a concise practical guide which shows how
cutting-edge BIM related technologies can facilitate the successful
management of construction and infrastructure projects. Focused
specifically on core project management topic areas, the book shows how
BIM can act as a catalyst for key project management functions in
construction and lead to improved collaboration, communication and
co-ordination. It also describes new skills and competencies which
project managers need to acquire to work effectively on BIM projects,
and important legal and contractual issues including dispute avoidance,
copyright, liability and insurance. Covering the full project lifecycle
from briefing, inception and pre-construction through to project closure
or disposal, the book enables project managers to facilitate the use of
BIM across the entire lifecycle. BIM for Project Managers is a core
reference that empowers project managers to play a more proactive role
in BIM implementation at both project and organisational levels.
Students seeking to understand how to integrate the new technology and
methodologies of BIM with established principles of planning and project
management will also find this an indispensable reference.
