Description
Description
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is widely used in new construction but is less commonly applied to renovation activities. Building Information Modeling for Renovation and Refurbishment: A Practical Guide addresses this gap by offering a practical resource centered on well-defined use cases for applying BIM to renovation projects.
The authors contributed to the EU Horizon 2020–funded BIM-Speed project, through which they developed over 20 use cases with demonstrative implementations on real-world renovation projects. These use cases were also formalized as standard BuildingSmart International use cases.
This book presents a selection of the most important use cases in an accessible format tailored to renovation practitioners. It also outlines requirements for information management and BIM implementation planning to support the seamless integration of these use cases into practice.
