Editorial Reviews
Review
BIG BIM little bim is, the most accurate description of BIM at this point in time. It breaks down Building Information Modeling into “bim” (lowercase) as software tools and “BIM” (uppercase) as integrated design and exchange of project data. You cannot achieve BIM with bim alone.–Nigel Davies, Director Evolve Consultancy
This book will help you connect the dots between planning, design, construction, operations and maintenance and will show you the difference between thinking of electronic design – i.e. little bim – and thinking of smart buildings and smart infrastructure generally. If you don’t own it buy it–.James Salmon, Collaborative Construction Resources
This book hits a home run for all practitioners of BIM. It is relevant to both the neophyte just making the BIM decision as well as the mature BIM organization looking for what is next.–Dana K. Smith, FAIA
