BIM Development and Trends in Developing Countries: Case Studies
()
About this ebook
Building Information Modeling (BIM), or the process of generating and managing digital information about physical representations of constructions, has been effectively adopted and benefited numerous civil engineering projects across the globe, particularly in developed countries. BIM Development and Trends in Developing Countries addresses the philosophies and practices for improved application of BIM in developing countries. Two case studies are presented in this reference: one from Malaysia and another representing Sri Lanka. Readers are given an introduction and background of the Malaysian and Sri Lankan construction industry and a critical review of BIM’s philosophies, development and applications in different stages of a construction project. The authors present their recommendations on the way forward for BIM practices articulated from the two perspectives, namely, academia and industrial BIM practice. The case studies in this book highlight the role of adequate BIM software techniques and the importance of governmental support in facing building challenges at the moment. . BIM Development and Trends in Developing Countries provides readers useful insights on the evolution of BIM practice in emerging countries and is a unique report on two specific scenarios in BIM development. Engineers, architects, urban planners and policy makers around the globe seeking to understand practical BIM implementation and trends will find this reference invaluable.

Salient Features
Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been effectively adopted and benefited in numerous projects across the globe, particularly in developed countries. This book aims to address the philosophies, applications and trends of BIM for its better adoption in developing countries. Two case studies were selected in Malaysia and Sri Lanka. This book provides useful insights on BIM evolution and usage. It is the first in the market that is reporting the developing countries’ scenarios towards an emerging BIM technology. The book would create a great impact and new insights into future uptake and development of BIM worldwide.
BIOGRAPHY
John Rogers had extensive experience in construction before migrating to the IT sector to help digitalise the telecomms, aerospace and banking industries. This digitalisation is now happening to the construction industry as BIM. To support this process in Malaysia, John co-founded the Malaysian chapter of building SMART, the independent, global authority for BIM. His Doctorate specifically addressed the opportunities from and barriers to the adoption of BIM in Malaysia. John works in the commercial sector helping large organisations shape corporate strategy to maximise competitive advantage potential and adopt BIM into their operational environment. He is a Research Fellow at City University of Science and Technology, with specific focus on highrise, volumetric and modular construction utilising BIM and advanced modelling techniques.
