BIM handbook:

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has become an increasingly central component of architecture and the building trades. Modern BIM software has moved beyond the simple 2D and 3D modeling tools of the past to incorporate simulation, analysis, project management, and more. BIM Handbook: A Guide to Building Information Modeling for Owners, Designers, Engineers, Contractors, and Facility Managers has long served as the essential introduction to this subject and its ever-expanding applications. Now fully updated to reflect the increasing standardization of BIM practices and its cutting-edge industry frameworks, the latest edition of this key text remains the fundamental tool for understanding the backbone of innovation in construction technology.
