Our NEW BOOK is finally here! - BIM FOR ARCHITECTURAL FIRMS: A Short Introduction

Updated: Jul 26, 2023

In today's fast-paced, technology-driven world, it's important for architectural firms to stay ahead of the curve. One of the most significant advancements in the industry is Building Information Modeling, or BIM. BIM is a digital representation of a building's physical and functional characteristics that enables architects and construction professionals to collaborate more effectively and efficiently. With its many benefits, BIM is rapidly becoming the standard in the architectural industry, and it's essential that firms adopt this technology to remain competitive.



That's where our new book, BIM FOR ARCHITECTURAL FIRMS: A Short Introduction, comes in. We've consulted with numerous architectural firms on BIM and identified the common questions and requirements they have. Our book is a concise guide that addresses those specific needs in a straightforward, simple way. It's a comprehensive overview of BIM that provides everything architectural firms need to know about why it's beneficial, how to convince other stakeholders (clients, contractors, etc.), how to implement it, the ROI, real-life case studies, and much more.


One of the most significant advantages of our book is its brevity. Most other books on the topic are too long, pontificate too much, and provide unnecessary academic details on historical progressions that practicing architects don't care about and don't have time for. BIM FOR ARCHITECTURAL FIRMS: A Short Introduction, on the other hand, is only 110 pages and provides a quick, easy read for principals and other senior staff. It's the perfect guide for busy professionals who don't have the time to wade through lengthy, technical tomes.


The process of creating this book came primarily from our experience working with firms. We've learned what works and what doesn't, and we've compiled that information into this useful resource. We've also worked with other industry experts, firms, organizations, and companies to ensure that our book is the most useful and comprehensive guide available.


Our mission at D&B Research + Technology is to improve the AEC industry through research and technology. Books like BIM FOR ARCHITECTURAL FIRMS: A Short Introduction help us achieve that goal by educating architects on the importance of adopting BIM as a vital emerging technology. With this book, we hope to inspire and equip architectural firms to embrace BIM and realize its many benefits.


So if you're an architect or a member of an architectural firm looking to learn more about BIM, we encourage you to check out BIM FOR ARCHITECTURAL FIRMS: A Short Introduction on Amazon today. We're confident that this book will provide you with the knowledge and resources you need to successfully adopt BIM and take your firm to the next level.
