BIM in Real Estate Operations (PDF)

This reference book - not only for practitioners - deals with all facets and issues of applying Building Information Modeling (BIM) in real estate operations and Facility Management (FM).

Starting from the basics and advantages of BIM as well as its development, all areas in real estate operations are considered where BIM can be usefully applied. BIM and CAFM/IWMS basics, modern digitization techniques, data standards and data exchange, as well as interoperability and the economic efficiency of BIM projects are explained in detail. The procedure for introducing BIM, application scenarios and concrete practical examples complete the work, as does a look at current research topics and future developments.

• Real estate, asset and facility managers
• Architects, planners, civil engineers, BIM managers and coordinators who already use the BIM method in design and construction and want to successfully transfer it to the operational phase
