Building Information Modeling
or BIM has been widely applied to new construction projects, but is less used to used to support renovation activities.
Building Information Modeling for Renovation and Refurbishment: A Practical Guide addresses that issue and provides a practical guide centered around well-defined use cases of applying BIM to demonstration projects.
The authors have worked on the European Union’s Horizon 2020 funded BIM-Speed project where they developed more than 20 such use cases with demonstrative implementations on real-world renovation projects. The use cases were also formalized as standard BuildingSmart International use cases.
The book provides a more accessible and general description of a selected number of the most important of these use cases for renovation practitioners. Additionally, the book will discuss requirements for information management and BIM implementation planning for renovation projects to allow for the seamless implementation of use cases on projects.
