This book is designed to help practitioners and students in a wide range of construction project management professions to understand what building information modelling (BIM) and big data could mean for them and how they should prepare to work successfully on BIM-compliant projects and maintain their competencies in this essential and expanding area. In this book, the state-of-the-art information technologies that support high-profile BIM implementation are introduced, and case studies show how BIM has integrated core quantity surveying and cost management responsibilities and how big data can enable informed decision-making for cost control and cost planning. The authors' combined professional and academic experience demonstrates, with practical examples, the importance of using BIM and particularly the fusion of BIM and big data, to sharpen competitiveness in global and domestic markets. This book is a highly valuable guide for people in a wide range of construction project management and quantity surveying roles. In addition, implications for project management, facilities management, contract administration, and dispute resolution are also explored through the case studies, making this book essential reading for built environment and engineering professionals.

The primary aim of this edited volume is to document the current theories, best practices, and technological advancements in the move towards a Smart Built Environment (SBE). The needs to accelerate towards the SBE are numerous and include:Increasing complexities and the need for interconnectivity within the built environment (e.g. mega infrastructure projects)Data-driven decision-making resulting in higher demand from clients (e.g. smart design, construction, operation, and end of life [EOL])High requirements from stakeholders (e.g. system efficiency, environmental performance, green procurement)Fast paced technological advancement and integrationNatural disaster resilience of the built environment (e.g. prediction, smart control of building component)Sustainability issues around the built environmentIn this book, the interrelationships among the various lifecycle stages: design, construction, operation, and EOL; the collective benefit of synergy at building level, multi-infrastructure level, and city-level, as well as the ultimate goals in relation to the deployment of smart technologies in the industry are addressed. Part I covers smart design and construction, Part II smart living, and operation, and Part III broadens the scope to the whole smart city. Chapters examine:How smart technologies can improve the effectiveness, productivity, and efficiency of the built environmentAn overview of theories and practices that are enabled by innovations and technologies for developing the SBEThe basis for new research agenda, new concepts, and frameworks for future developmentThis handbook documents the current theories, practices, and technologies and develops a holistic approach for research and practice by adopting a multidimensional outlook for the SBE. It is an essential reference work for all built environment stakeholders, from academia through to the professions.

Offering critical insights to the state-of-the-art in Building Information Modeling (BIM) research and development, this book outlines the prospects and challenges for the field in this era of digital revolution. Analysing the contributions of BIM across the construction industry, it provides a comprehensive survey of global BIM practices. Accessible and thorough, the chapters explore the theory behind and facilitators of BIM, covering knowledge management around BIM, the development of ontologies and language in the area, holistic implementations, and BIM ecosystems. The book further discusses the technological developments of BIM, including scan-to-BIM, 3D digital reconstruction and AI and robotics techniques. Critical analysis of BIM-enabled construction and engineering management innovations are also examined, highlighting prospects and challenges in the area.This will be a critical read for engineering, construction management and architecture students looking for a comprehensive study of BIM. It will also be beneficial to practitioners working in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Owner & Operation (AECOO) industry wanting a better understanding of the benefits and future developments of BIM.
