Riassunto

Barnes, who works in design process, contracting, and consultancy in the construction and civil engineering industries, and Davies, a construction manager, builder, and surveyor working in the construction and civil engineering industries, explain the principles and practice of building information modeling (BIM) for practitioners in the UK and internationally, to design, understand, and demonstrate the key physical and functional characteristics of a building on a virtual computerized model basis. They describe the definition and history of BIM, managing BIM, using BIM, BIM models, design liability and ownership, collaboration and contracts, liability, and risk. This edition has been updated to include UK government strategy for 2016-2025, updates to PAS 1192 and BS 1192 documents, digital scanning of existing buildings, the digital plan of works, other BIM model types for specific purposes, the development of BIM protocols and contracts or contract terms, insurances, the development of BIM in the European Union and internationally, and case studies.

Recensione

As the authors of this admirable volume state, BIM is the future . All those working in the construction industry need to understand what building information modelling (BIM) is currently, how it is likely to develop in the future and what issues need to be considered in its implementation. This book is an excellent introduction to a vital topic. BIM is potentially the catalyst that will drive a far better approach to the delivery of civil engineering projects in the UK. It is already being used extensively in the USA and some European countries. It can facilitate genuine collaboration between project partners. It can reduce costs by reduction of errors. It will help move the industry towards a more efficient production management approach to delivery. Authors Barnes and Davies give a very clear description of the key features and benefits of BIM. They describe clearly the organisation, contractual arrangements, processes and other key activities required to implement level 2 BIM successfully. And if you do not know what level 2 BIM means, then you really need to read this book: all UK public sector construction projects have to comply with level 2 BIM from April this year. The authors also describe the major benefits to be gained with level 3 BIM as well as some of the contractual and insurance issues that will need to be addressed. In level 3 BIM, there will be one single project model, accessible by all project team members: this could make true collaboration between partners the new norm. The more widespread the understanding is of those benefits and issues, then it is to be hoped that the greater the chances of success in moving towards level 3 BIM. This book provides that knowledge. --Mark Hagger, Environment Agency, UK in Journal Civil Engineering Volume 169 issue CE2 May 2016
