Summary: “Building Information Modeling (BIM) software combines 3-D elements and information in all aspects of the design of
a building. While many books are published on BIM related to technology and computer programs, this one focuses on the practice-
related information needs of architects, showing them how BIM and integrated practice can transform their practices. It features:
Methods for addressing the obstacles and challenges to implementing BIM How to implement it in an efficient and effective manner How
to use BIM as a tool to transform the role of architects “—Provided by publisher.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT BY THE AMERICAN
INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS
In this book, Randy Deutsch describes building information modeling (BIM) as a means of coordinating project
information. Like the American Institute of Architects (AIA), Deutsch recognizes that while these methods and
tools play a vital role in integrated practice, the collaboration essential to integration can be used with any type
of project delivery.
As stated in the Primer on Project Delivery by the AIA and the Associated General Contractors of America, “At
the present, there are no industry-wide accepted definitions of project delivery methods, and many groups,
organizations, and individuals have developed their own. In so doing, they have often used different charac-
teristics to define the delivery methods. The result has been a multiplicity of definitions, none of which is either
entirely right or entirely wrong.” Groups may use the same term to articulate different organizational concepts
for project delivery as well as the tools used to bring about a successful project.
Deutsch’s text describes the BIM process to be a dynamic, continuously evolving strategy for designing and
making buildings. Because it is an emerging form of practice technology, the AIA acknowledges that other
definitions of BIM may appear over time. The term building information modeling as used within the follow-
ing pages may also be used to describe other operational arrangements by different groups. This book is an
important step forward in the definition and discussion of a BIM-enabled project delivery approach that holds
great promise.
