BIM Project Management

Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is characterized by a well-structured creation and exchange of information. In the last years, the term has also been referred to as “Better Information Management”. Due to the high amount of involved parties, which by nature hold contradicting views and interests, the organization of information requirements represents a key factor in the context of project management. The major challenge and chance, lies in improved project and information management achieved by applying BIM and thus, producing and using high-quality information. This chapter presents roles and perspectives to be considered in the building life cycle. Information Requirements and related Information Models are introduced to organize the resulting production of information and its exchange during different project stages. The concept is based on the methodology presented in ISO 19650.
