WHY THIS BOOK?
Dr. Zulfikar Adamu
Associate Professor of Strategic IT in Construction | LSBU, UK
“Data is the new oil" as they say, so its prospectors or miners should have the right tools and mindset to extract value from this 21st century resource. The construction industry has for too long been on the slippery slope of "3D information" based processes, whereby project delivery is based on someone else's baked information (e.g. they already plotted the pie or bar chart) whereas the underlying "data" (e.g. the raw spreadsheet) is capable of delivering much more, especially because multi-data fusion and AI bring unlimited potentials. If you are delivering (or teaching/researching) construction, this book is your best - and so far only - resource for navigating the data-driven world we have found ourselves.

Data Driven Construction vividly conveys the basics of information-based work with building data. A book that deals with information flows and fundamental economic concepts and thus sets itself apart from other BIM books, because it not only represents the perspective of a software manufacturer, but also tries to convey fundamental concepts. A book worth reading and seeing

Boiko is the James Carville of IT - in the latter's much-quoted "It's the economy, stupid," only one word needs to be exchanged for this famous book. "It's the data, stupid." (And to find one's way in the data universe, a saying of the ancient Romans dating back to Greek is still valid today: "Navigare necesse est". The author navigates his readers through all the depths and shallows of the data ocean with a sure hand and an unwavering compass, not to mention a comprehensive historical approach and, last but not least, highly original graphics and a good sense of humor that is not only apparent at second glance. The international response to Boiko's book ranges from euphoric approval to rather bilious skepticism, which has done the second German edition of the book some good. Boiko is an original and undogmatic data thinker. He presents the reader with exciting insights and always courageous, even provocative theses that inspire further thought. Excellent medicine for the German disease of latent consensualism. Incidentally, the above Latin proverb has a complement: "vivere non est necesse." It does not apply to Boiko's approach to the world of data - data lives and its life is necessary, not to say crucial.

If "data is the new oil", we need to learn to define it, find it, mine it, refine it, to make it valuable. I've found the book DataDrivenConstruction very informative and insightful. The book provides a useful historical background and explains working with data in plain language. For those who are interested in digital transformation, it gives a good understanding of data - how it works, how it is structured and how it can be used.”

Artem Boiko's book is a milestone for the democratization of digitization in the construction industry - and a real game changer for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Particularly groundbreaking: by using modern open-source low-code and no-code tools, companies can already efficiently integrate data into their business processes and analyze it profitably - without any in-depth programming knowledge. This makes the expensive use of cumbersome commercial software packages redundant. This book is a call to action! It is a valuable guide for anyone who not only wants to understand the digital transformation in the construction industry, but also wants to actively shape it - pragmatically, efficiently and in a forward-looking way. Now is the time to work together to share this knowledge and sustainably increase the productivity of the construction industry.”

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.

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!

I am a civil engineer. I have a PhD in project and construction management. As a civil engineer, in addition to the many construction projects I have realized, I have been involved in the development in the field of AEC since 1987, which Artem Boiko described in BIM history https://bigdataconstruction.com/history-of-bim/. In addition to representing Archtrion, Vectorworks software in Turkey, I have realized the Turkish localization of these software. In partnership with Bentley, I provided sales and training of Bentley's AEC solutions. I produced kitchen design and order automation software called ArchKitchen. In addition to world brands such as Arup, Bayer, Mercedes, Renault, Siemens, Franke, Teka, public institutions of my country and sector leading brands have become my customers. I have produced a lot of software in the field of AEC. When I review the book Data-Driven Construction with the knowledge and experience I have gained in my professional life of more than thirty-five years, I would like to say the following.I would like to start by saying that when you take the Data-Driven Construction book in your hand, you will feel its high quality with its print quality and binding.
Most importantly, I should also say that Data-Driven Construction is worthy of being taught as a textbook in universities and is a book that will make valuable contributions to the developing BIM field.
Data-Driven Construction contains a technical glossary that explains the concepts very well. The explanation of conceptual and technical terms adds value to the understanding of the text. I think it would be appropriate to develop these sections of the book as a technical glossary.Data-Driven Construction book is supported by visual narration. Topics that are extremely difficult to explain are made simple and understandable with a very beautiful visual language. I think that what is intended to be explained in the visuals should be expressed to the reader, even if briefly. The comprehensibility of some visuals, in other words, reading the visual requires separate information.
The book Data-Driven Construction explains very well what is conceptually related to what with its historical background. I would like to suggest that in the development of the book, these narratives should be made comprehensive instead of being a summary.The book Data-Driven Construction has traces of Artem Boiko's education and software development experiences, which increases the gains of the reader. I think that it would be better to relate what is described in the book to Artem Boiko's education and software development with the links to be given and to increase the software examples in case-study style.
I must say that the topics of the Data-Driven Construction book are very well structured. I think it would be useful to give information about software development tools in the parts of the book that will guide those who want to work in this field.I think it would be useful to have a section in the Data-Driven Construction book where existing software solutions on the subject are examined. For example, I think it would be useful to explain the operation of a system such as ERP and data relationships to the reader in a short understandable language.
In the book Data-Driven Construction, many file and data sharing formats are mentioned. I think it would be useful to provide more detailed information about the content of these formats or to provide the reader with access to detailed information by referring to references.In the Data-Driven Construction book, I think that BIM standard setters such as BuildingSmart, BSI are introduced and the relationship between BIM standards and data should be given in more detail. For example, I think it is a necessity to explain the structure of IFC in the book in great detail.I think that how data is obtained from BIM model information should be exemplified in the book as in Artem Boiko's trainings.
Finally, I must say that the Data-Driven Construction book is a very good study on the essence of the subject and each title is open to be developed more comprehensively.
I would like to say a few words about Artem Boiko himself.In my PhD study, I argued that Revit-Dynamo software, a visual programming tool, can be used in the calculation of construction costs in an unconventional way. I must say that I am surprised that among the over 10.000 sources I examined for Cost Network Modeling, which I developed in my PhD, only Artem Boiko followed the same approach.
I would also like to say that I am happy to introduce Artem Boiko's valuable work in my lectures and seminars at universities.
I am happy to know Artem Boiko, a good and valuable person.
I wish him continued success.
