Synopsis

Move beyond understanding BIM as a digital model and explore how it can be applied across construction projects.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is transforming how project information is created, coordinated, visualised, and used across the built environment. From planning and design to construction, sustainability, facility management, and emerging technologies, BIM is increasingly central to digital construction practice.

Applications of Building Information Modeling in Construction Projects provides an accessible guide to BIM concepts, technologies, and practical applications, showing how digital modelling and information management can support more integrated approaches to project delivery.

FROM BIM FUNDAMENTALS TO PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

This book explores:

• BIM concepts, technologies, and tools — Understand the foundations of BIM and the digital tools supporting its implementation.
• Project planning, design, and construction — Explore how BIM supports information-rich project processes and construction delivery.
• Sustainable design and energy modelling — Examine BIM applications for environmental performance and energy-efficient design.
• Virtual and Augmented Reality — Discover how VR and AR can enhance project visualisation and understanding.
• Facility management and built assets — Explore the use of BIM beyond construction and into building operation and asset management.
• Smart cities and digital environments — Consider BIM's wider role in increasingly connected built environments.

BEYOND THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELLING

The value of BIM extends beyond creating digital representations of buildings. Its wider potential lies in connecting information, processes, technologies, and project stakeholders throughout the built-asset lifecycle.

WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR

Construction and project management professionals, architects, engineers, BIM and digital construction practitioners, facility and asset managers, built-environment students, academics, and anyone seeking a practical understanding of BIM applications.

As construction becomes increasingly digital, this book provides a practical foundation for understanding how BIM can contribute to more integrated, information-driven project delivery and built-asset management.
