While most of the papers deal with strategic problems on a global scale, specifically Canadian problems also find their place.Taken together, the papers by no means present a comprehensive history of maritime strategy in the twentieth century but they do offer a variety of insights into aspects of it.

This allows a range of professionals architects, engineers, construction managers, surveyors, cost estimators, project managers, and facility managers to share this information throughout a building's lifecycle.

Providing prereleases of the final work, The BIM Manager's Handbook ePart series isolates significant topics around BIM management. In the sixth and final ePart, BIM is taken to the next level by outlining what is required to truly excel as a BIM Manager.

It illustrates how BIM Managers tie their activities to cutting-edge BIM research and development globally.
