Online resources: Summary: Heritage Building Information Modelling (HBIM) differs necessarily from the commonplace applications of BIM to new construction. Where BIM is being used, the focus is still very much on design and construction. However, its use as an operational and management tool for existing buildings, particularly heritage buildings, is lagging behind. It aims to clearly define the scope for HBIM and present cutting-edge research findings alongside international case studies, before outlining challenges for the future of HBIM research and practice. After an extensive introduction to HBIM, the core themes of the book are arranged into four parts. Restoration philosophies in practice, data capture and visualisation for maintenance and repair, building performance, stakeholder engagement.
