Revit and IFC reports that used to take me almost weeks to create are now updated in just a few minutes. I was able to quickly understand what the DataDrivenConstruction did and thus extend and modify it to fit projects.The DataDrivenConstruction team showed me examples of blocks and scripts that can automatically generate PDF, XLSX, and DOCX files that mark errors/defects in the model. Additionally, we also now do automatic checks for IFC structure, file naming, etc.

As a data scientist, I use data every day in every topic and field and think that data can appear in one format to make it easier to use and explore. After I tried the DDC converter, it became the only solution for me to manage and convert all BIM documents. Thanks to DataDrivenConstruction, I can now work with all IFC and Revit files automatically without having to upload files to the server.

Structured DataFrame is ideal source for today's processing and analytics tools
The Pandas library, which works with the DataFrame data format, is downloaded about 8 million times a day today. Due to its popularity and ease of use, DataFrame has become the primary format for processing and automating data in ChatGPT. ChatGPT considers the use of Pandas and Python as a frequent default for queries related to data validation, analysis, analytics, visualization, and processing.

CHATGPT ON CAD (BIM) DATA
The data in Revit, IFC, DGN and DWG models is created by one specialist, but there are dozens of other people working with that data, so the first priority is to optimize the flow of data throughout the organization, which LLMs such as ChatGPT models can significantly help with.
DataDrivenConstruction converter and LLM models pave the way for efficient process automation in processing data from CAD (BIM) projects, eliminating the need for tedious manual data entry and analysis.

Probably the most interesting book of the last two years that I know of. Required reading to break free from the 'matrix' perpetuated by software vendors, this book delves into how emerging tools like artificial intelligence offer fresh opportunities for data management without extensive technical expertise, poised to revolutionize even the most antiquated sectors like construction.With flawless translation and mind-bending graphics, it's a must-read. Eagerly anticipating the sequel. Very good buy in my opinion...I will read it again and waiting for the second part!

I highly recommend Artem's book that addresses, as the title says, a data driven information management approach for AECO. I am currently using it to help initiate a number of discussions with various groups. I have found it a very accessible reference.As well as a thorough overview of the history context of tools in AECO, data and introducing several key technologies the book contains a number of very useful diagrams, that outline the scope of data sources and end user artefacts, common database types encountered, applications working on that data and output artefacts in organisations or projects, with sample workflows.It strikes me that these are the types of diagrams we need more of when developing and monitoring information strategies and contribute to BEP's - defining the overall enterprise data model onto which the boundary for a PIM and AIM can be overlaid.

(A review of the Italian version of the book "COSTRUZIONE BASATA SUI DATI. Navigare nell’era dei dati nel settore delle costruzioni")
Mikhail Kosarev
TIM-ASG | Digital transformation expert
📚 I read the book in one breath, in less than 6 hours. The presentation of information is as simple as possible, but for deep perception and coverage of the materials requires an expanded horizon of knowledge from the construction and IT industries. At 270 pages, a huge number of schemes. The manufacturing quality of the book is excellent, dense glossy paper, color schemes, a pleasant font.🏗 The content of the book allows you to look at construction project management from an information management perspective. Will broaden your horizons and understanding of modern digital technologies in construction. The large number of practical examples on how to work with ChatGPT specific to the construction industry will save you months, if not years, of self-study.💻 Work examples are very diverse, ranging from simple to complex, without requiring you to purchase complex and expensive software. The main focus is on open source software. In the book and about data analysis and programming, visualization of information. You will look at Excel and your computer in a different way.👨💼 The book will be especially useful for BIM specialists, IT specialists working or going to work in the construction industry. Digital ISU to take a new look at project management, to increase their efficiency. The book will allow owners of any business in the construction industry to take a fresh look at their business strategy, digitalization and development prospects. And for smaller companies to increase efficiency with affordable and free tools.📖 The book will be my go-to book for regular use for the next year until the PDF version comes out.

The "DATA-DRIVEN CONSTRUCTION" by Artem Boiko is a comprehensive work that fills a gap in the "modern" construction industry.It offers valuable insights into both the basics and advanced applications of data in construction. Artem also presents an interesting approach to handling data in construction and shows how it can be used. It is a successful presentation of the various possibilities that data can offer in construction and provides practical guidance and examples.As such, it is an absolute recommendation for anyone involved in the use of data in the construction industry.
Ihor Rogchew

At the moment, the degree of chaotic and oversaturated information in the construction industry has reached such a level that any specialist in the field of working with data would be horrified. But the problem is that builders have long been working in their own closed IT world and often come up with zoned existing approaches or directly ignoring the successful experience of working with data from other industries.
Artem Boyko's work is one of the first steps beyond the boundaries of the usual world of builders, with their complex design and management systems, when, it would seem, the complexity and saturation of data does not even give a chance for radical simplification and increased transparency of work with construction data.In his book, Artem shows in simple language what opportunities modern technologies of working with data open before us, and literally gives concrete steps that you can immediately apply in your work. I urge everyone who wants to understand where automation systems will go in the construction industry to study this small book carefully in order to realize that the data revolution in construction is already knocking on our door.It's only of interest to geeks now, but in a few years, like BIM, such approaches and software will be ubiquitous!
