    Product Overview

    Understanding BIM and Model Based Design

    Authored By Dan Leighton

    Product Description

    This vBook is designed to provide a big-picture view of BIM and Model Based Design. It begins with a review of the concepts of model-based design and BIM - Building Information Modeling. It then continues with a brief demonstration to help illustrate the concepts and show how BIM technology might be used on a project. The course then includes a look at how BIM can be used throughout the project lifecycle, a discussion of the advantages of BIM for various people involved on projects, including developers, architects, engineers, contractors, and owners. The vBook concludes with a chapter that discusses various things to think about when considering using BIM technology.
