Multi-Dimensional Project Breakdown Structures - The Secret to Successful Building Information Modeling (BIM) Integration (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781948149129)

This book is targeted towards building and construction planning and project managers who are professional practitioners developing cost estimating databases or with strategic goals towards integrating Building Information Model (BIM) with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. This book outlines, details, and explains how an excessive number of changes in the planning - including change orders, legal claims (contracts-related), and scheduling overruns can be avoided by adapting and using the 3-D Building Information Model. This book analyzes and explains the process of making the switch from single-dimensional (1-D or 2-D) flat-file Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) to multi-dimensional WBS and CBS that are suitable for relational and object-oriented databases.
This book provides a paradigm shift in thinking for intermediate- and advanced-level planning and project managers to accelerate small to large building and construction projects. The purpose of this book is to introduce a 'better way of planning' to pull organizations out of the cost-burdensome single-dimensional WBS/CBS planning stages of construction planning into a more cost-efficient practice of cost estimating using databases or integration of BIM with ERP. This solution is ideal for BIM developers, BIM consultants, and as an introductory textbook solution for students and course curriculum developers targeting Construction Database Creation and Management on a graduate level. building and construction planning/applicationsBuilding Information Model (BIM) value engineeringEnterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems3-D, 4-D, 5-D, 6-D Building Information Modeling BIM developers, BIM consultantsProject Breakdown Structures (PBS)scheduling, estimating sustainability, facility
