Q&A with Author Randy Deutsch Author Randy Deutsch Q: How would you summarize your book in a single sentence? A: The focus throughout this book is on people and the strategies they use to manage and cope with the transition to the new digital technology and the collaborative work process it enables as they initially adopt and then take the technology and process to a higher plane. Q: Why do we need a book like this now? A: There?s a crisis not only in the economy but in the profession. Buildings are becoming more and more complex and the way we communicate knowledge to one another is changing. At the same time the construction world is going through enormous changes, so is our environment. We?ll only be able to tackle today?s complex problems through collaboration, and that takes work and a prepared mindset. You have to be disciplined, can?t just show up and wing it. Your teams? efforts have to be coordinated and integrated. I noticed that there is a gap in learning along these lines in the profession and industry and this book seeks to fill it. Q: There are a number of books that cover the subject of BIM. How is this one different? A: Most books on BIM cover the technology or business case while this one focuses on the process that enables the highest and best use of the technology. BIM and Integrated Design focuses on the people side of the change equation, addressing BIM as a social and firm culture process and does so in four distinctive ways: it addresses people problems, human issues, issues of communication and collaboration, firm-culture issues, issues of motivation and workflow related to working in BIM; it explores the most commonly encountered obstacles to successful collaboration, as well as the challenges this technology and process create for individuals and organizations in their labor toward a comprehensive, successful BIM adoption and implementation; it describes the social impacts and implications of working in BIM on individuals and firms, and how to overcome real and perceived barriers to its use; and it discusses challenges to BIM collaboration including interoperability, workflow, firm culture, education, technological challenges, working in teams, communication, trust, BIM etiquette, one model versus multiple models, cost, and issues concerning responsibility, insurance, and liability. Q: What else led you to write this book? A: There were two lingering questions that I had not been able to answer for myself and that I noticed many architectural firms were also asking: How can BIM.
