This book was released on 2009-11-20 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efficient communication, collaboration, data exchange and sharingare crucial for the success of today's many multi-disciplinary andinterdisciplinary work environments. The implementation of computerintegrated environments (CIE) is increasing and the requirementsengineering necessary for the development of these systems iscritical. Requirements Engineering for Computer Integrated Environmentsin Construction provides an important source of information andadvice for organizations needing bridge the gap between users anddevelopers in the implementation of computer integrated solutionsas well as for consultants providing services to their clients inCIE development. The framework explained in the book is comprehensive andaccessible. It provides a set of tools and techniques enablingreaders to design, manage and deliver effective CIE-type systems inany complex organization – from construction andmanufacturing to the information technology and service sectors.Construction companies for example, can use the framework providedto implement building information modelling to manage thediagnosis, planning, implementation and monitoring stages in BIMadoption. Based on real experiences and lessons learned from many years ofsystem development, this book offers an excellent resource forresearchers and postgraduate students interested in CIE developmentfor all multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary workenvironments.

Download or read book BIM Handbook written by Rafael Sacks and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover BIM: A better way to build better buildings Building Information Modeling (BIM) offers a novel approach to design, construction, and facility management in which a digital representation of the building product and process is used to facilitate the exchange and interoperability of information in digital format. BIM is beginning to change the way buildings look, the way they function, and the ways in which they are designed and built. The BIM Handbook, Third Edition provides an in-depth understanding of BIM technologies, the business and organizational issues associated with its implementation, and the profound advantages that effective use of BIM can provide to all members of a project team. Updates to this edition include: Information on the ways in which professionals should use BIM to gain maximum value New topics such as collaborative working, national and major construction clients, BIM standards and guides A discussion on how various professional roles have expanded through the widespread use and the new avenues of BIM practices and services A wealth of new case studies that clearly illustrate exactly how BIM is applied in a wide variety of conditions Painting a colorful and thorough picture of the state of the art in building information modeling, the BIM Handbook, Third Edition guides readers to successful implementations, helping them to avoid needless frustration and costs and take full advantage of this paradigm-shifting approach to construct better buildings that consume fewer materials and require less time, labor, and capital resources.

Download or read book Computer Aided Design Guide for Architecture Engineering and Construction written by Ghassan Aouad and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen major changes in the approach to Computer Aided Design (CAD) in the architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) sector. CAD is increasingly becoming a standard design tool, facilitating lower development costs and a reduced design cycle. Not only does it allow a designer to model designs in two and three dimensions but also to model other dimensions, such as time and cost into designs. Computer Aided Design Guide for Architecture, Engineering and Construction provides an in-depth explanation of all the common CAD terms and tools used in the AEC sector. It describes each approach to CAD with detailed analysis and practical examples. Analysis is provided of the strength and weaknesses of each application for all members of the project team, followed by review questions and further tasks. Coverage includes: 2D CAD 3D CAD 4D CAD nD modelling Building Information Modelling parametric design, virtual reality and other areas of future expansion. With practical examples and step-by step guides, this book is essential reading for students of design and construction, from undergraduate level onwards.
