Principled Building: Book 1

A Guide for Modern Construction Leadership & Lean Building Information Modeling Management (BIM)

Here’s a brief overview of what you can expect from “Principled Building I”:

The Construction industry faces external pressures (political, economic, social, and technological). They impact project costs, timelines, and profitability. The book presents a new, acting, and thinking way for each stage of a project by introducing the Building Information Modeling culture and associated technologies.

Innovation and change management are crucial factors for remaining competitive and adapting to project requirements. Managing changes effectively requires implementing clear procedures, fostering a supportive environment for innovation, and adapting to a constantly evolving landscape to remain competitive. The book explains how to manage change.

Continuous learning is the central principle of lean thinking. Do not underestimate the requirement for learning. Your company could make the same mistakes without knowing it, leading to disastrous situations with your clients and diminishing your staff morale. You can choose to procrastinate by addressing the issues we describe in the book until you’ve read it. After you will have no excuses, as Hamma-adama et al. (2020) noted in their analysis regarding personal barriers:

“lack of understanding of BIM and its benefits, and low self-confidence related to implementing new technology. This lack of confidence and knowledge can lead to inaction.”
