Synopsis

This book explains how to deliver and check quality COBie data during design. Readers will learn where to create ARCHICAD templates to streamline COBie production and coordinate the work of multiple designers. Improved understanding of COBie in ARCHICAD will allow readers to: - Provide COBie as an extension of existing design practice - Develop COBie templates to streamline high-quality exports - Respond to alternative client COBie requirements - Demonstrate the quality of your COBie files - Clearly explain the requirements for COBie - Justify decisions about COBie content included, and not included - Communicate COBie requirements with consultants The authors are the inventor of COBie, Bill East, and the world-known ARCHICAD expert and COBie enthusiast, Robert Jackson. The authors developed simulated contract drawings, models, and export files for a small college dormitory. Readers can download these files, free-of-charge, and compare their work with the examples provided.

About the Author

A native of St. Louis, Robert Jackson is the great-grandson of a carpenter who helped build the palaces in Forest Park for the 1904 World's Fair. He has trained for two marathons on the park's restored grounds.

Although he has since lived in Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City, he remains a loyal St. Louisan, especially during baseball season when the Cardinals are playing. Robert Jackson studied American literature and culture at New York University, where he received his Ph.D. This is his first book.
