Digital Construction Toolkit for Site Managers

Construction sites are becoming increasingly digital. BIM models, digital drawings, tablets, viewers and project platforms are playing a growing role in preparation and execution. Digital Construction Toolkit for Site Managers shows how to use these tools in a practical way on the construction site. Across 20 practical chapters, the book covers BIM, BIM viewers, 2D and 3D information, clashes, 4D thinking, Lean Planning, logistics, digital issues, quality control and model revision management. It also looks ahead to AI, drones, 360° images and other emerging technologies. The final chapter explains how BIM and SketchUp can be combined to create a 3D construction site layout using an IFC model as the basis. Written for site managers, junior site managers and construction students. No complicated theory, but clear and practical guidance for better preparation, coordination and decision-making on site.
