This reference book - not only for practitioners - deals with all facets and issues of the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in real estate operations and Facility Management (FM).

Starting from the basics and advantages of BIM as well as its development, all areas in real estate operations are illuminated where BIM can be usefully applied. BIM and CAFM basics, modern digitization techniques, data standards and data exchange, as well as interoperability and aspects of the economic viability of BIM projects are explained in detail. The procedure for introducing BIM, application scenarios and concrete practical examples round off the work, as does a look at current research topics and future developments.
