Five StarsBy ChristianVery Important book !0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Excellent for the ExperiencedBy Mike CalhounI would give it 5 stars if it were something like "BIM for Dummies". i.e. for folks just wondering what BIM is...however. this book assumes you are at least knee-deep or at least swimming in BIM. For my skillset. excellent. I recently acquired my BSBA-PM and this ties into that rather neatly. it is understandable and extremely plausible on that level. Well written. somewhat thought provoking. a must for individuals who find themselves in the position of not only being a BIM manager. but being in that position in a company that was previously only doing BIM lip-service and now wants to incorporate the process. This book will not grace the bookshelf...its going to be well page-turned and within reach on my work desk.
