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.

📚 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.

I think that the book addresses a significant, contemporary topic relevant to the construction industry. As it was also emphasized in the book, information is a crucial asset for the construction sector, and having it in accessible formats greatly facilitates accurate decision-making and expedites project timelines.The book offers a neutral and efficient approach to accessing and taking advantage of this source in decision-making. The methodology presented in the book leverages a contemporary approach that combines artificial intelligence-driven programming with accessible open-source tools.By harnessing the power of AI and utilizing open-source software, the methodology aims to enhance automation, optimize processes, and promote accessibility and collaboration within the field. The language of the book is clear and easy to follow.Congratulations on the quality work! I have enjoyed reading it. Wishing you continued success as well.

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.

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!
