5D+ Building Information Modeling: A Data-Driven Approach to Construction Supply Chain Integration, the third book in the Practical Revolutions series, is a valuable guide for AEC professionals who want to learn more about 5D+ BIM and how implementing this technology can optimize work efficiency. Starting with a brief introduction to BIM and the history of its emerging applications, this book highlights the unleveraged power of 5D+ in addressing the inefficiencies associated with current fragmented construction supply chains. This 5D+ guide focuses on the benefits of applying the power of data-driven BIM in achieving supply chain integration today and in the foreseeable future. Architects, engineers, contractors, and owners will find an implementation roadmap that includes state-of-the-art technologies, standards, workflows, and contractual framework established to achieve an integrated construction supply chain.
