Book of the month
BIM Demystified is a short, practical introduction to Building Information Modelling (BIM).
Addressing BIM from the point of view of mainstream practice as opposed to a cutting-edge technological perspective, it offers a user-friendly yet thorough explanation of a subject which is often swamped by jargon and deluged with spin.
