Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Design, Construction and Operations is fast becoming the industry standard approach to designing, analysing, and managing the building lifecycle.
BIM in Operation and Maintenance looks at the role of BIM and related technologies that can be adopted for building and asset operation and maintenance, and how to overcome the challenges of BIM Facilities Management (FM) integration.
