A roadmap to 5D+ BIM implementation with a focus on real-world use cases
5D Building Information Modeling: A Data-Driven Approach to Construction Supply Chain Integration is a valuable guide for architectural, engineering, and construction professionals seeking to learn how to implement this technology to optimize work efficiency.
Beginning with a brief introduction to BIM and its history, the book highlights the unleveraged power of 5D+ in ameliorating the inefficiencies associated with fragmented construction supply chains. It covers the benefits of applying data-driven BIM to integrate supply chains and illustrates how the integration of 5D+ BIM serves as a technology, set of processes, and standardized classification system that streamlines the flows of information, material, and money.
- A thorough introduction to building information modeling with defined business value propositions
- Comprehensive case studies of 5D+ implementation and demonstrations of how structured data and standard practices can help increase efficiency
- A detailed roadmap and framework for BIM, including technology, standards, workflow processes, and contracts
- Complete treatments of emerging technologies and practices poised to transform construction supply chain management
Intended for architects, engineers, contractors, owners, facility managers, suppliers, manufacturers, and consultants, 5D Building Information Modeling will also benefit academics, undergraduate and graduate students studying related fields.
